Watch it be announced for January

I’ll pose this to you, dr727, but I welcome input from anyone who feels like contributing: what are your impressions of Je Tu Il Elle? I’ve seen Jeanne Dielman on multiple occasions, but that is the only feature of hers I’ve had the opportunity to watch. I have her first film on my DVR.

Chantal’s slow pacing in it didn’t bother me in the slightest, as it is meant to underscore the monotony of Jeanne’s life, and the tediousness of her daily tasks. That pacing, the focusing on the mundane, was quite effective, so a similar pacing in what is her first film wouldn’t be off-putting to me.

It was apparently the name of a chain of record stores in Southern California in the seventies and eighties.

They really need to put Written on the Wind out on blu-ray and I'm really surprised it's taken this long. It's widely regarded as being one of Douglas Sirk's greatest films (and my personal favourite of his). At this point, it's one of the few Sirk films left to hit blu-ray. I thought it wasn't far off when they released All That Heaven Allows but that was now seven years ago.

Would also love to see Trouble in Paradise get the blu-ray treatment.

In an interview, Tarantino said that's one of his favorite comedies. He thought Rex Harrison gave one of the top three best comedic performances of all time in that movie.

May not be an issue. Criterion's DVD has been available for a while and they probably negotiated the Blu-ray rights before the Disney acquisition. It is probably just a matter of when Criterion gets around to it.

Is the 'Tatsuya Nakadai on Five Japanese Masters' interview by Aaron Gerow available as a bonus on any physical release from Criterion?

Unfortunately not.

However, someone uploaded the full interview on YouTube

. Very informative and one can find a lot to discover with this one.

Don't remember if there was any spoilers with the movies Nakadai mentions just a heads-up for those who haven't seen the Nakadai films released by Criterion so far (Kobayashi, Kurosawa, Naruse, Okamoto, and Teshigahara).

ravenus · 09-27-2021, 03:34 AM

^Yes I saw it on YT. It was after I saw the Criterion credits at the end I was wondering if it was a part of some disc.

Hey, I've been going through stacks of hundreds of ancient DVDs here the last few days (from my mom's house) and as I've created a spreadsheet listing the value for the DVDs (some are as old as nearly 25 years ago), I discovered an odd comedy film that surprisingly does not yet have a blu-ray release. Yet this movie contained an Oscar-nominated performance by the legendary Goldie Hawn. The film is called Private Benjamin. Perhaps Criterion should look into adding this to their collection? It's a fish out of water comedy but also is a charming tale that is lightly feminist in nature. I would think this is a perfect title to add into the collection (plus Albert Brooks and Harry Dean Stanton are in the film too).

99% certain, if this ever happens, it will be from Warner Archive.

Shout Select is a possibility too.

Definitely agree that it will likely come from WAC, but I'll purchase on day 1 regardless of studio. It really deserves to be in HD.

Wonder if any of CC's Eclipse series would get a BD release.

I'd love to upgrade the Eclipse Series 14: Rossellini's History Films - Renaissance and Enlightment. It includes Blase Pascal, Cartesius, and The Age of Medici.

Doubt this set would get upgraded(because 10 other people and I would be the only ones getting it) but some others would be profitable I'm sure.

Shout released Wildcats this year, if it sold well I wouldn't be surprised if this was next.
