Sorry I'm bored and messing about lol

No, no -- no need to apologize. That was awesome, and I agree captures the film quite well.

OK, there is ONE reason to apologize: The images of alll of these films that are NOT on Criterion at present are breaking my heart.

You should probably have more to base that on other than a "feeling."

Lol thanks I just don't want to annoy anyone by spamming images everywhere lol - I just wanna share my ideas a little lol

Also do love the image, who the women is just staring and probably judging poor Grace, bless her.

I just feel like its seamless for you.. you have a great eye and good composition. I know it would be difficult for me to conceptualize and design my own Criterion covers. I think you're a natural at it, from what I sense. Just sayin'...

Lol thanks, I also found film covers the hardest to design and can do other stuff better - but I want try get into it more. Cause I have changed jobs from a Graphic Designer to Care work, I don't want to waste my experience and degree... so going to try do as a hobby lol

Plus I love Criterion.

Also I hate the other designs for this film use the image of Grace hidden in the cart... just seems an odd choice of image to use lol

What program(s) do you use to make them, Polaroid? Like jw said, you do a great job.

Thanks, I do them in InDesign and some elements in Photoshop, but majority of it is InDesign :P

My main problem is getting decent screen grabs from the films to use which is frustrating! Especially film that are just on DVD without a decent transfer lol

Great work Polaroid! I too would welcome DOGVILLE to the Criterion collection. I'd also vote for MANDERLAY which I felt was even more powerful than DOGVILLE.

Thanks ! I found Manderlay to be a lot weaker than Dogville, but I'm a huge fan of Dogville. But its still superb film and I hope Lars Von Triers finishes the trilogy!

Oooh Criterion could release both as a set

Ive not even heard of that film from his - is it any good? I still need to give Lifeboat a watch!

"The Confession" by Costa Gavras (of Z fame in the Criterion Collection)? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065439/

EDIT: And Z is one of those in HD on iTunes from Criterion, so perhaps a double feature for blu?

[octagon]

I've only seen I Confess once and even for Hitchcock it seemed a little melodramatic for my tastes.

That said, his films do have a way of growing on me. That's particularly true for a lot of his earlier stuff. Foreign Correspondent was really the only pre-Rebecca title I really liked the first time around and even that was embrace was qualified.

I've seen a little less than half of Z (I can't remember what interrupted me or why I couldn't get back to it) but that would pretty much be an auto blind buy.

[StLouisRibs]

Yes, with the Costa-Gavras interview from a few weeks ago, this is definitely for that.

I'm desperately hoping it's along with an upgrade for Z, and/or a companion release of State of Siege.
