Awesome! My favorite Stillman and I've been hoping for a Criterion release for a long time!

A week after I ordered it for $10 more. Well that's just great.

I love Japanese horror from the 60s and 70s, this is one of my favorites. Salivating at the thought of them releasing it on blu.

And watched the new Dressed to Kill disc last night, what a great film - very entertaining and "cinematic", might have moved ahead of Blow Out as my second favorite Depalma behind Carrie.

I have a feeling that Criterion is going to release a 4K restoration of "Carrie" next October... I also think "Onibaba" is going to be released soon.

Is the transfer as good? I am region-free.

I got to see a 35mm print of Seven Samurai.

The new Studio Canal release of TTM is based off a new 4K restoration and is the best transfer thus far of the movie.

[Show spoiler]

Have you seen Red Desert before? Phenomenal film.

filmmusic · 10-11-2015, 07:45 PM

4 days till announcement.
Except for my usual wishes, I would hope Criterion finally adds a Greek film in its collection like those Angelopoulos films that have been restored and released on Japanese Blurays:

I'm hoping the recent hint for Paris nous appartient means it will be a January release. I've been wait forever for a Blu ray release.

Kyle15 · 10-12-2015, 12:55 AM

I don't think Criterion's hinted at it before, but I'm hoping they release The Tenant at some point. Given their track-record with Polanski's stuff I'm keeping my fingers crossed they'll get to it one day.

I haven't seen Red Desert yet. But I really enjoyed watching L'Avventura, L'Eclisse, and La Notte.

KubrickKurasawa · 10-12-2015, 01:47 AM

I just ordered these on DVD from Amazon.

Anyone have any idea if/when they'll be released as Region 1 or Region Free in USA? Much appreciated.(!)

A lot of people would say Red Desert is a tad on the boring side.

But if you enjoyed L'Eclisse, then you probably won't be one of those people.

Ray Jackson · 10-12-2015, 01:52 AM

Give me Le Samourai or give me death.

L'Eclisse is like watching paint dry. Red Desert is a masterpiece.

How is Red Desert a masterpiece and L'Eclisse like watching paint dry?

...that's fascinating to me.
