The Criterion Collection

[Hawkguy]

What's the second film they're referring to in that?

[Yami]

The only recent Albanian film I can think of is The Forgiveness of Blood which was in Berlin last year

In the mood for love? Sold.

There's going to be a rush to add the new releases to My Criterion so people can be the first to leave a "note" on their pages.

[PowellPressburger]

Can't wait to see the artwork. All good choices just was hoping for another upgrade.

[BohemianGraham]

I'm not getting ,uch except that photo Shell posted

[Yojimbo]

Why say they're announced when they aren't announced yet? Such a tease.

[Zen_Amako]

Rosemary's Baby and In the Mood for Love = both great movies.

I think the only other Wong Kar-Wai film that hasn't been released yet in some region is his "follow up" to ItMfL, 2046.

I love Chungking Express, but ItMfL is probably his best film so far.

It really is funny how they kind of stumble through this process month after month.

You can almost picture somebody saying 'oh shit, is that today'

I know it is kind of annoying as if them posting the titles each month is such a hardship we wait all day long (esp myself sitting here at work not really working lol) Now I am sure we are hitting refresh to see the cover art etc.

FANTASTIC! 'Rosemary's Baby'!!!!!!!

Looks like you be correct as Criterion Cast just tweeted it. Anyone watched it yet or know much about it? I'm interested because it's not from a more "common" European country Criterion's fond of such as France, Sweden, or Italy.

Edit: Wait, there's US involvement which cause some controvery:

The film was originally submitted as the Albanian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film, but it was rejected due to protest of Bujar Alimani, the director of Amnesty, that The Forgiveness of Blood shouldn't be eligible due to American artists' input on the project. AMPAS disqualified it and Albania submitted instead Alimani's film

Actually, its kind of a trade mark, Playboy's Bunny on the cover, Hitch's cameo, etc. What/how did CC screw up the announcements this time?

It's not really an Albanian film. American director; British, Italian, Danish production companies.

Yeah, I just read that. Slightly disappointing then.

[Yami]

I wouldn't class it as an Albanian film but it's certainly set in Albania

[toddly6666]

In the Mood for a....yawn...Snooze.

Meh.

So we can give Criterion an E for Effort? I'm still kinda interested in it, but it's a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing no?
