Triangle is also in 4K

[dvining]

Oh, and a set of five films.

Okay, that seems far less puny than before.

Ah, now here's something....

"Small Ax" Five Films by Steve McQueen.

I've been wondering about these films getting a release for some time, now.

Same. I'll also take a stab in the dark and say that the encode on the BFI 4K will be better. Plus it has Dolby Vision!

Well this kind of pisses me off cause I just bought it from rarewaves

[dkelly26666]

And with the McQueen set, that's a wrap for April.

With the five films that make up his Small Axe anthology, director Steve McQueen offers a richly evocative panorama of West Indian life in London from the 1960s through the ’80s—a time defined for the community by the terror of police violence, the empowering awakening of political consciousness, and the ecstatic escape of a vibrant reggae scene. Ranging in tone from the tenderly impressionistic to the devastatingly clear-eyed, these powerfully performed portraits of Black resistance, joy, creativity, and collective action—all sumptuously shot by Shabier Kirchner—form a revolutionary counterhistory of mid-twentieth-century Britain at a transformational moment.

Steve McQueen set sounds very interesting!

[dkelly26666]

Well, as usual, nothing from my wish list, LOL.

But I'll likely grab that McQueen set , as a blind buy. Anyone seen these?

Also, "Triangle of Sadness", Palme d'Or winner, is it really good? Haven't yet seen it, either.

I'm so glad this got a Criterion release, interesting they release a miniseries. Watched this on Amazon a long time ago, 4/5 of the movies were really good.

[DukeTogo84]

Yeah, nothing for me this month. Happy for those who want those 4K upgrades, but whatever. Disappointing month for me personally in what has been a pretty subpar year so far.

There's no sign of HDR detailed so that can't be good. I'll likely still buy it for the commentary and documentary that isn't included on the BFI I just bought.

[blujazz]

Small axe!

[Citizen K]

Got the Bergman box and the BFI 4K for The Seventh Seal as well, so will wait and see.

Upgrading The Fisher King for sure.

[MifuneFan]

Pleasantly surprised to see Triangle of Sadness get a 4K release. Would have thought it would have been relegated to BD. This is the first NEON licensed 4K title. Moonage Daydream will for sure be another.

[dkelly26666]

Oh wow, I hadn't even realized that these McQueen films were on Amazon Prime. How did no one ever tell me that, LOL?

I may watch them before I buy them.

[Cremildo]

Östlund 4K for me.

[jshaide]

Jeez, two months in 2023 where I am not adding anything to my list. Rare!
