I was serious. Because we had covers posted for the other titles, and I don’t think there would be an in house reason to delay announcements twice, waiting on a 3rd party made the most sense.

69% or nothing.

That would be an enticing discount. Too bad it's only for Crash, I already have that one.

There wasn't one for Devil in a Blue Dress either to be fair, but you might be right.

Hope they're changing the entire slate at the last minute tbh. What leak?

Actually the same member (?) from the Criterionforum managed to find and post a cover for this one as well. We're still missing the one for Summertime though.

Ah, thanks. It wasn't with the original leaks, so I didn't realize. Denzel kind of looks like Michael B. Jordan there.

This is reminding me of the rumored new Lynch film potentially having been pulled from Cannes after someone leaked it. Criterion is punishing us all because of the leaker! There won't be any April announcements, it'll just be a surprise what appears in July!

Now that Criterion seems to be working with StudioCanal again, what are the odds that a theoretical Kurosawa boxset might include Ran UHD in it too? I already have Ran UHD from StudioCanal, but would be pretty cool if that one makes it in too.

This seriously crossed my mind...haha.

4 of the 6 have 4K options this month!
Virgin Suicides
Raging Bull
Okja
Devil in a Blue Dress

[DukeTogo84]

Is there of finding out which releases will be DigiPacks and which ones won't?

Overall, solid month. Drive My Care is essential as is Okja. I'll probably get Devil In A Blue Dress as I actually haven't seen this one before.
