The Criterion Collection

[nitin]

It's the Marseille trilogy as others have said : Marius (Marry S) Fanny and Caesar.

Also, out of all the Coens to (re)release why Hail Caesar? They could at least pick something that could do with a remaster.

Does anyone know all the clues on there yet?

It will help me decide onto what to get this year in the B&N sales.

I'm still trying to catch up on last year's releases.

McCabe and Mrs Miller is supposed to be good, right?

McCabe and Mrs Miller is a flat out masterpiece and also one of the best discs of 2016 IMHO.

[mrjohnnyb]

I have been focusing on that window, and here is what I have come up with:
(in my order of probability)

Le Jour Se Leve (translates to The Day Begins)
A Place in the Sun
Good Morning
The Naked Dawn
At Dawn It's Quiet Here
The Far Country
Bend of the River (if that is a river and not a road)
The End of Summer
Late August, Early September
Terra Em Transe (translates to Earth in Trance)
Quince Tree of the Sun
Earth
Splendor in the Grass
The Sun
The Cranes are Flying
Eternity and a Day

[nitin]

It would be amazing if it was The Cranes are Flying but I think A Place in the Sun might be more likely (and no less welcome despite being a less film than Cranes IMHO).

There's also a possibility that it's a dual reference. Remember the Dr. Strangelove/The Exterminating Angel 2-in-1 hint from last year's drawing?

Not to mention the dual Valley of the Dolls/Beyond the Valley of the Dolls clue.

Jeanne Dielman. Woo hoo!

Look at how excited Delphine Seyrig is at this revelation!

[shadedpain4]

I think someone already mentioned this, but I Am Cuba is on the way from Milestone, so we can take that off the table.

Ms. Delphine waits anxiously for these drawings, hoping one day, she spots a clue and finds her missing puzzle

[Show spoiler]Lost in Translation

...

But after having her hopes shattered every year, she's bitter, bitter, just bitter and there's nothing we can do about it.

Has it been mentioned that the Cuban flag on the right has six stripes whereas the flag on the right has five stripes (correct). Also, it might as well be the Puerto Rican flag, since there are no colors. They also look like the flag for Catalan independence:



The size of the triangle on the hint photo is more similar to the Catalan flag.

Thank you!

Lady Snowblood makes sense for R.

Breaker Morant makes sense for H.

However, The New World was not released that year and was hinted in last year's drawing.

Some things get hinted at for several years before being released.

[MifuneFan]

I'd even say the two suns were also for for Before Sunrise and Sunset (rises in the east, sets in the west) but that got pushed back.

As for The New World, check out the drawing compared to the one in the movie

I wonder why the bride in the drawing has no hands..

No hands, means no finger prints. No finger...prints..S Bride....Princess Bride

Boom

(I know it's for Marry S, for the Marseilles trilogy, but I think it could also be for something else)

Boyhood took less time than people were expecting.

Dutch! F*** yeah! A childhood favorite.
