What is up with Gilliam and Criterion? That is three 4K releases now.

Just 4K of Bandits and Rules for me.

[Gacivory]

Medicine for Melancholy & The Rules of the Game 4K for me!

What a stupid move just releasing The Servant on Blu. My 4K release from Studio Canal is not feeling threatened.

I guess they like like each other.

Watched a video about George Harrison's discography last night that brought up Time Bandits, so the timing of the 4K announcement is pretty great

Either The Servant already has a 4K overseas, or my spreadsheet is wrong.

Saw that earlier and seems they just replaced it with a different picture without PB. Guess there was a change of plans last minute?

[MifuneFan]

This is a pretty solid month.. Didn't expect another Gilliam 4K film so soon.

It's not like his time is taken up with making movies anymore.

Which is really too bad. The Man Who Killed Don Quixote was a gem.

[MifuneFan]

The Servant not being on 4K is disappointing considering it was released that way internationally. Usually Criterion tends to release SC titles the same way SC does internationally). It probably wouldn't be a huge seller, but I imagine many who are interested in the title, and are 4K-equipped, may just opt for the SC release.

Great announcements! Count me in for The Rules of the Game, The Servant and Time Bandits.

And my 4K region B copy of The Servant just came in two days ago. So, you're welcome.
