Just finished getting all of Kubrick's films on Blu-Ray. Even got the UK edition of Fear and Desire so I'd have all three of his short films. Working on Welles. I have all of his main features except for The Trial. Got all the US Blu-Rays, while The Magnificent Ambersons, The Stranger, and Mr. Arkadin are DVDs. I'm meaning to import The Trial and The Stranger soon. Plus, I have rips of the Criterion laserdiscs of Ambersons and Othello.

Hector Beerlioz posted:I've heard Fear and Desire really does suck. Confirm/Deny? Fear and Desire resembles a nicely shot Ed Wood film. It's barely over an hour long, though. Get the restored Spartacus Blu-Ray. I wasn't crazy about the film when I saw it a while ago, but the new restoration looks incredible. It's seriously one of the best looking Blu-Rays ever made.

Hector Beerlioz posted:Is that the Criterion or a different version? Universal put it out directly. It has a new interview with Kirk Douglas, a short piece on the new restoration, and some of the Criterion extras (mainly just the deleted scenes, trailer, and a newsreel). Kind of a pity they didn't work with Criterion to either borrow the commentaries (like how Sony and MGM borrowed Scorsese commentaries for Taxi Driver and Raging Bull). The movie looks and sounds amazing, though. They used the camera negative this time when it was unusable for the 1991 restoration. The difference now is that they were able to use the faded camera negative and digitally replace the missing color from the corresponding B&W color separation. (Also, I got the Masters of Cinema version of Fear and Desire since it has all three of Kubrick's short films and a visual essay that aren't on the Kino edition) Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Dec 15, 2016 |
