In the mood for love & 2046

Please let them come to me

I have really been getting into some Wong Kar Wai stuff lately, and have watched my Chungking Express blu-ray several times. I would love to see these two on blu-ray as well.

I was JUST checking YesAsia for 2046 on Blu...

Does YesAsia.com have a feature that'll allow them to send notices to us via email when titles become avail?

Criterion as the rights for In The Mood For Love, so if you want it to be released in BD, please write them a short message to their suggestion e-mail
I know I did

The day In The Mood For Love comes out on Blu-Ray will most certainly be a glorious day

in the mean time i got myself a copy of the TF1 edition of 2046 and custom subtitled it. I ripped the subs off of my Sony retail disc.
tbh, the quality of the TF1 is superior to most any Criterions (escecially those ones that they cram the extras on the same disc as the movie). gotta be honest that the TF1 looks better than some blurays i have bought. (no surprise as it was lauded as reference quality by many)
the TF1 DVD release comes in a tin case and has a second disc of bonuses. I actually plan to pick up the UK DVD release too, and any others i can get easily from Amazon, etc, since most of them have exclusive extras for a WKW dor like myself.

I still hope that Criterion will pick this up and give it a good blu release like they have done with Samurai Seven (which puts the Japnese release to shame).
actually ITMFL & 2046 should be released as a set, as they have been on DVD in at least one country.

here's hoping.

oh, and if you're eager to write Criterion about WKW (or also write IVL, or HKL, or Artificial Eye) -- ask them to try to release an even a watchable DVD of Ashes of Time (not the remux, which at least has okay releases, but the original).
EDIT:
personally I hope that TF1 releases both on Blu... I will import it, as i bet it will far surpass Critterion.
here's what dvdbeaver has to say about ITMFL:

I am a huge fan of Criterion, but I also have a great fondness for this particular film and I suggest that Criterion has not done their usual fine job when we compare it to the TF1/Ocean Region 2 DVD. I have quite a bit to say, so I better get started.

so i imagine i will be trying to track this TF1 DVD release down as well. I have no idea how long it will be before seeing these in blu, but i want best quality available now, and hope TF1 release again in BD, since likely they will continue to be far superior to CC for these 2.

Just watched this again. Would love for this to be released on Blu. Any chance, or is it not mainstream enough?

[Azyiu]

Yes yes, these two are definitely day one purchases for me!

[eiknarf]

[luwanda]

I know, right? It's like a potential GOLD MINE to release either or BOTH "In the Mood for Love" and "2046"

I'd pay $39.99 for 2046 right now!

[eiknarf]

Damn. No Blu-ray at YesAsia yet.

I guess I'll get the VCD

Now that In The Mood for Love got a Criterion release on blu, is there more of a chance or less of a chance of seeing 2046 on blu by Criterion?

Well, it has been 2 full years since In The Mood for Love was released, and there is still no news on 2046. I wouldn't exactly be waiting for it to come out soon, if ever. What a let down to say the least.

If not by Criterion, how about just a standard blu release by any studio?
