Origami Dali posted:Official date for the 50% Criterion sale at BN is Nov. 1st and it ends on Nov. 21st. Just in time for Night of the Hunter. Sorry, pretty out of the loop here, but does this sale apply to website purchases or just in-store?

I don't know any animated movie more deserving of criterion treatment than The Triplets of Belleville. Nothing even comes close.

I, Butthole posted:So I finally saw an as close to uncut 720p version of The Devils (113 minutes; I think it's a fancut of the streaming version with the available deleted scenes reinserted) and did some running around on the history of it and the potential release - while this is a Facebook post and only really backed up by hearsay, there's a guy here claiming that Criterion have it licensed. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1177970699005460&id=539744709494732 This would be loving legend. I have a hard time believing that Criterion would put it out if they couldn't get the full thing, but there have been so many fakeouts in the last 10 years from people claiming they have an uncut version, and yet it still seems like it's under lock and key by some old dude with a femur to pick. That being said, even with the one scene cut out, the movie deserves to be seen! It is, without hesitation, one of the best films I've ever watched.

Origami Dali posted:So Tree of Life will have 2 cuts, yeah? The info doesn't make it clear. Yeah, 2 cuts. The theatrical cut and a new cut commissioned by Criterion. And yeah, the new cover art is way worse. The Fox blu uses the same block patchwork as one of the poster designs. edit; bonus features look great, if that matters.

MystOpportunity posted:I know this is off-topic, but probably the best place to ask: a theater near me is doing a 26-film Bergman retrospective (with mostly new digital restorations). Have only ever seen Fanny and Alexander (loved) and Cries and Whispers (lukewarm, but should probably watch again). Which of these are must sees and which can I skip? I haven't seen a lot of them, I hear The Virgin Spring is good. I like the chamber dramas and recommend Through A Glass Darkly, The Silence, and definitely Persona. Persona is a movie that should be seen in a theater, film print if possible, but a good digital restoration works, too.

Basebf555 posted:Just blind-bought In the Mood For Love last week. How was this not nominated for several Academy Awards? At the very least Best Foreign Language Film and Costume Design. loving Gladiator won for costume design that year and among the other nominees were 102 Dalmatians and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Come on. In The Mood For Love is hands down the best film released so far this century. I'm always jealous of people watching it for the first time. FancyMike posted:The Academy is bad, especially with foreign films. I just checked and no Cantonese language film has ever been nominated for Best Foreign Language Film and Farewell My Concubine is the only Chinese-language film nominated for the category directed by someone other than Ang Lee or Zhang Yimou. Yeah, it's a loving shame...though Ju Dou is loving phenomenal and worth tracking down the blu from Korea.

Egbert Souse posted:I'm in San Antonio for work and I think I found the best B&N video section in the world. They literally had every in-print Criterion on Blu-ray and DVD. Ended up just getting In the Mood for Love and Love Streams. That's like the one in PDX where I'm at, literally every spine and every boxset. On my second trip in they had two 3-shelf library wheelcarts full to the brim with stuff that had just been reordered. Last week they were out of Midnight Cowboy blus, and when I went back there were 12.

Spatulater bro! posted:Is it just me or is that Bergman set an uncharacteristically great deal for Criterion? With the B&N sale it'll be $150, making it $3.85 per film. Pretty amazing. It's an awesome deal, though I'm just not a big enough fan of Bergman to jump. Offer me a Wong Kar Wai or Ken Russell set tho and I'll trample women and children to get it
