On a point-by-point basis it stacks up against The Maltese Falcon extremely well but it doesn't quite come together in the same magical (shut up) way.

Agreed. In a Lonely Place is the perfect film noir, in terms of reflecting the genre. It does not quite have the snappy awesomeness of The Maltese Falcon, but it's a brilliant work in a different and darker way.

I would explode with joy if Criterion were to announce it today, though.

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner would be cool.

I do not think the Sony arrangement with Criterion is about releasing a bunch of their films. My understanding is that it is an agreement for Sony to replicate, distribute and manage the Criterion library. A job Image previously handled for them.

Wow finally. It's been out in the UK for a few years now, and I've been wondering when Criterion would upgrade it. Doesn't appear to be a dual-format release either, hmm

I do not know how many times I almost bought the DVD. I'm glad I waited.

Same here. It's worth a watch, but not a film to revisit.

It's definitely Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!

[Scottie]

Pedro Almodóvar’s colorful and controversial tribute to the pleasures and perils of Stockholm syndrome, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! is a rambunctious dark comedy starring Antonio Banderas as an unbalanced but alluring former mental patient and Victoria Abril as the B-movie and porn star he takes prisoner in the hopes of convincing her to marry him. A highly unconventional romance that came on the spike heels of Almodóvar’s international sensation Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, this is a splashy, sexy central work in the career of one of the world’s most beloved and provocative auteurs, radiantly shot by the director’s great cinematographer José Luis Alcaine.

Holy Crap! ALL THAT JAZZ!!!!

[Scottie]

The smash road comedy from the Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarón is that rare movie to combine raunchy subject matter and emotional warmth. Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna shot to international stardom as a pair of horny Mexico City teenagers from different classes who, after their girlfriends jet off to Italy for the summer, are bewitched by a gorgeous older Spanish woman (Maribel Verdú) they meet at a wedding. When she agrees to accompany them on a trip to a faraway beach, the three form an increasingly intense and sensual alliance that ultimately strips them both physically and emotionally bare. Shot with elegance and dexterity by the great Emmanuel Lubezki, Y tu mamá también is a funny and moving look at human desire.

New 2K digital restoration, supervised by director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki and approved by director Alfonso Cuarón, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray
