I'm thinking we'll get Cure in February or March. I'm hoping Mr. Klein gets announced, and always hoping for something Japanese. A Hard's Day Night is getting upgraded to 4K?

Yup, that and The Piano were the 4K UHD films announced in the first batch that still don't have release dates. Might get both today. Hopefully not though, I want some un-announced stuff, following December's really weak slate.

Yeah, it was part of the original announcement.

As always, I'm hoping for: Written on the Wind, Floating Weeds, Inland Empire, and more Chaplin.

Last-minute wish for more Claire Denis or Francois Ozon.

False alarm. Those screencaps have been there for a long time.

Dick Johnson is Dead (2020)

https://www.criterion.com/films/3231...ohnson-is-dead

This playful, profound, and immensely moving docu-fantasia by Kirsten Johnson is a valentine to the director’s beloved father, Dick Johnson, made as she has begun to face the reality of losing him to dementia. Using the language of cinema both to defy death and to confront it head-on, Johnson mischievously envisions an array of ways in which the man she loves most in the world might die, staging a series of alternately darkly comic and colorfully imaginative tableaux interwoven with raw vérité footage capturing the pair’s tender but increasingly fragile bond. Tackling taboo questions of aging, mortality, and grief with subversive humor and surprising grace, Dick Johnson Is Dead is ultimately a triumphant celebration of life, and of the gentle, funny, unforgettable man at its center. Long live Dick Johnson.

DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

• New 2K digital master, approved by director Kirsten Johnson, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray
• New audio commentary featuring Johnson, cowriter and editor Nels Bangerter, and documentary sound recordist Judy Karp
• New conversation among Johnson and her fellow producers Katy Chevigny and Marilyn Ness and coproducer Maureen A. Ryan
• New interview with sound designer Pete Horner
• New program featuring Johnson in conversation with fellow filmmakers about redefining what a documentary can be
• Trailer
• English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
• English descriptive audio
• PLUS: An essay by author So Mayer

Wow, the January announcements include two new films from 2020 (Time and Dick Johnson Is Dead). I never even heard of them!

I love the cover artwork for The Piano. One of the best covers in years, and a fine film. Def. buying this one in 4k.

Now on the other hand, the artwork for The Celebration is amazingly minimalistic and quite unusual. I suppose Criterion intentionally wanted it to look like a demo cover of some sort or something "unfinished" in terms of artwork. The Criterion logo and spine info on the left side have ink etched into the plastic it appears.

Also great to see A Hard Day's Night in 4k now.

Dick Johnson is dead is another Netflix film. I had a feeling Criterion would get it, since it's from Kirsten Johnson.

[ShellOilJunior]

A good month with the two UHD titles. Guessing February's UHDs is going to be fun since the first 6 have all been given dates.

Good to see Dick Johnson get a firm release date.

[Jr7936]

for January I think the best seem like festen and the piano 4k

[BunyipPouch]

With Time and One Night In Miami being announced back-to-back, I'm guessing (and hoping) The Sound of Metal will now be February.

[Herry Dunston]

StudioCanal must be asking for SO MUCH for Criterion to not include the director's audio commentary for The Piano from the Canal release.
