Unobstructed View has Three Films by Luis Bunuel up for pre-order.

[NeoNical]

I have never been so happy in my life.



I really hope for more Bunuel though!!! (No announcements yet but most likely will happen)

I also bet it was done based off on Delphine Seyrig's death being 30 years ago today (October 15th, 1990) so it's a good tribute to her as this is arguably one of her best works.

I love Bunuel but two of those three films already have a Region A release.

Those Lionsgate discs have been OOP for a while. This is a good sign that it is possible that titles like Grande Illusion and Ran will return to the collection.

Would've preferred some movies from Bunuel's Mexican period like El & The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz.

The crowning triumph of a career cut tragically short, Larisa Shepitko’s final film won the Golden Bear at the 1977 Berlin Film Festival and went on to be hailed as one of the finest works of late-Soviet cinema. In the darkest days of World War II, two partisans set out for supplies to sustain their beleaguered outfit, braving the blizzard-swept landscape of Nazi-occupied Belarus. When they fall into the hands of German forces and come face-to-face with death, each must choose between martyrdom and betrayal, in a spiritual ordeal that lifts the film’s earthy drama to the plane of religious allegory. With stark, visceral cinematography that pits blinding white snow against pitch-black despair, The Ascent finds poetry and transcendence in the harrowing trials of war.

This extraordinary debut from documentarian Bing Liu weaves a story of skateboarding, friendship, and fathers and sons into a coming-of-age journey of courageous vulnerability. Over the course of several years and with his camera always at the ready, Liu records the rocky paths into adulthood of Keire and Zack, two friends from his own skateboarding community in Rockford, Illinois. As he does so, deeper parallels gradually emerge that ultimately draw the filmmaker into a heartrending confrontation with his own past. With an eye for images of exhilarating poetry and a keen emotional sensitivity, Minding the Gap is a powerfully cathartic portrait of fledgling lives forged in trauma and fighting to break free.

Minding the Gap looks pretty interesting. Criterion is doing Hulu movies now? Palm Springs when???

[MifuneFan]

They're all up on Criterion now

[The Sovereign]

Dylan & Buñuel are auto-buys for me. And The Ascent looks great.

[Gerby]

I thought Minding The Gap was one of the best movies of 2018. The Ascent is a really great movie too.
