The Criterion Collection

[Poya]

I’m going by Wikipedia so there’s a good chance I’m wrong but isn’t the DC 295 minutes?

That's why he said "But again, we’ll have to wait and see."

I can't get over how amazingly striking and cool this artwork is. I consider it one of the best Criterion has ever released for ANY title of theirs. I am totally psyched over this release as well.

Until the End of the World will be day one for me. It's been about seven or so years since I first saw the film on DVD, and I feel like I've been waiting forever for a Blu-Ray to drop (with the Director's Cut nonetheless).

"Until the End of the World" and "Old Joy" for me. I'll have to track down a copy of the theatrical cut of "Until the End of the World" in the interim.

Probably just Until the End of the World for me. Otherwise, I’ve just been pretty meh on November and December.

Could that be including an intermission, because that was the listed length for the recent theatrical run restoration. I missed it, so I don't know if that one had an intermission or not.

I'll probably pick up The Story of Temple Drake in one of the eventual sales.

I had never heard of Until the End of the World until this announcement and it seems incredibly right up my alley. Wim Wenders is one of my all-time favorite directors, especially the trio of films The American Friend, Paris, Texas, and Wings of Desire. And I'm always excited to discover more beautiful images from Robby Müller!

I'll be pre-ordering Temple Drake as soon as its available. Will pick up Tunes of Glory in a later sale.

First time. For the longest time it was only available in bootleg 16 mm prints.

Yes, I love Italian.

Must be a big Roman to last a month.

I missed the theatrical screenings of the new restoration, so I really can't wait to see how "Tunes of Glory" looks. Hopefully, the next Barnes and Noble sale is timed so that this can be a Day 1 purchase for me.

[Reddington]

Definitely in for Tunes of Glory, and also the Wenders come sale time. I know next to nothing about Pre-Code cinema, so need to read up on it.

[postmodel]

I just saw there is a short film about Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds recording their song for the soundtrack on Until the End of the World...so yeah, of course I'm gonna buy it.

[The Great Owl]

I'm good for Until the End of the World and The Story of Temple Drake.

...and I really want to shake the dust off of my Until the End of the World soundtrack CD.

Over years of reading your reviews, I think I have a decent sense of your overall taste, and I would recommend you give "Tunes of Glory" a watch, because I think it's right up your alley. Not gonna say blind buy it at Criterion prices, but give it a shot.

I knew it was one of Miriam Hopkins' films. Thanks!

DVDBeaver has a dedicated page for Pre-code films on Blu-ray & some DVD box sets:

There's more from the folks over at Pre-Code, though caution that review has some spoilers. They also have many other links to another sites talking about the film.
