When will Fellini's La Strada and Nights of Cabiria come to Blu?

[oldtexan]

When will Federico Fellini's La Strada and Nights of Cabiria be available on Blu Ray? I know that a French BD release of Cabiria was announced in IIRC 2010 but was delayed and thus far hasn't been released. Criterion's DVD of Cabiria is out of print so I'm guessing there is a licensing issue there. I am aware that there has been/is a dispute over the rights to another Fellini film, La Dolce Vita, between Paramount and a French distributor, so maybe that is what's delaying Cabiria and La Strada....just speculation.

Anyone have any thoughts on this topic?

I first watched Cabiria a few years ago, and view Guilietta Masina's performance in it as my favorite by an actress in any film I've ever seen.

I just saw La Strada yesterday after DVRing it from Turner Classic Movies HD. Wow! What a powerful film. What performances by both Masina and Anthony Quinn!

Both of these are Blu Ray essentials in my opinion; I just wish they were available on BD now.
