It's been a long five and a half years since the last Powell and Pressburger release, so I'm really looking forward to A Matter of Life and Death this Tuesday. And I just got my B&N shipping notice for it

One of my most anticipated titles of the year.

Would love to see some more upgrades from Criterion. I doubt we'll see Peeping Tom or The Tales of Hoffmann as they are with Studio Canal (I have the Region B). The Criterion DVD of The Small Back Room is OOP, so I assume the rights are elsewhere, but the DVD releases of A Canterbury Tale, I Know Where I'm Going!, and 49th Parallel are all still in print (the latter has a French BD release, but I believe with burned-in French subtitles).

Edit: I know Peeping Tom is just Powell.

I also wish Criterion would smile more favorably on Powell and Pressberger not only with upgrades of previously released DVD's but also with additional titles before I get older.

Powell directed many remarkable and important films in the 1930s before he started working with Pressberger which are not represented on DVD, nor on bluray. I fear a chapter in the history of British cinema will be unwritten by lost films if someone doesn't make an effort to put Powell's early work back into our consciousness.

The Small Back Room is also a StudioCanal title.

I think he's been lurking here lately. A few days ago I saw an old post of his in a thread that got necrobumped and the button next to his name indicated he was online.

ThisKid · 07-21-2018, 05:08 AM

Ok folks. I have good news.

Ray is alive and well.

He’ll be back soon...

Jlouisbarrett · 07-21-2018, 05:52 AM

Does the Barnes and Noble sale run through the entire month of July? If not, do we know an end date?

Strapped4Cash · 07-21-2018, 05:55 AM

The thread in the Deals section says it goes to August 6th.

That's what we're all afraid of

Actually, Thelma Schoonmaker apparently did confirm a while back that The Tales of Hoffmann had been restored with an upgrade on the way.

Can't find a link other than Criterionforum, but they're usually accurate.

Thanks.

She worked on the 4k restoration used for the 2015 Studio Canal release, which is spectacular. Is the suggestion, then, that this transfer will form the basis for a Criterion release?

I was hoping for a more substantial video upgrade.

Seeing as the original disc is one of the best Blu-ray transfers available, I don’t know what you think could be done better.

Also grabbed state of siege blu and Z dvd in case losing rights to all 3.

Man Bites Dog DVD is still available (thought this was OOP) should I get it? Or should I wait for Criteron to put out a blu ray?

spanky87 · 07-21-2018, 09:02 PM

It'd be great if Criterion starting offering posters for the movies that haven't had a theatrical rerelease. I need that sexy Mildred Pierce artwork on my wall.

I’d pay good money for that new Tree of Life artwork.
