Any links to him saying that? I looked and couldn't find anything. Either way, it would be a pretty big deal if a Netflix film finally got a Blu-ray here. It gives me hope.

Noooooooooooo!

Buy the DVD! Then all the rest of us will get to benefit from your horrible luck!

This is one title I'm always hoping to see get announced month in, month out.

It was at a Q&A with him that a member here attended:

I have been tempted by the DVD sale after sale.

No, that was the initial cover before they changed it to what it looks like now.

Xtempo · 03-11-2019, 10:33 PM

for both the BD and DVD? I wonder why I have never seen that before.

It was when it was first announced back in 2011. You can see it in this news announcement article:

Xtempo · 03-11-2019, 11:36 PM

so would the one I have then be a reprint? I do like my cover better it shows the sisters more.

Just received my Ingmar Bergman Cinema set. Something interesting I noticed is that it has been earlier reported that Smiles of a Summer Night is the same old telecine HD transfer originally released by Criterion. However in the booklet included in this set it states 2K scan of the original negative from an Arriscan. instead of This high-definition digital transfer was created on a Spirit Datacine from a new 35mm print made from the original camera negative. verbage found in the original release.

I will take a look at this title tonight but was wondering if anyone has compared or noticed this. DVDBeaver claimed that the transfer included in the boxset was the same transfer as the stand alone earlier release.

A rather small box of inconsequential films pressed on an out-of-date media format from a rather insignificant label, for whom at the end of each passing day falls further and further behind the inexorable march of progress. How lovely.

Somehow I just wondered, did Criterion pack them in alphabetical order like that or did you rearrange them to take a picture?

Must be a Gotham thing.

I have to agree with everyone else. Just watched La Verite and I LOVED it. So far Ive loved every Clouzot Ive seen. Wages of Fear, Diabolique, Arrow’s Inferno Documentary and now La Verite are all awesome. Does anyone know if Criterion has the rights to any other Clouzot’s films? I want to own them all.

Le Corbeau & Quai des Orfevfes is with Studio Canal and Kino Lorber is releasing a bunch of their films including the upcoming La Prisionnere.

Funny you say that, I only got 3 blus this sale and after reading this I now realize they were also in alphabetical order. haha.

Revisited 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days after not having seen it since its release and was relieved to find that it still packs just as much of an impact. It was one of those seminal experiences for my filmgoing youth that changed my perception and pushed me into this gigantic cinematic rabbit hole and I was worried that it wouldn't do much for me given how much my taste has changed since. But man, does this thing start out on a high and never look down. It's kind of miraculous at how well it succeeds in the tight rope it walks. Everything is married together in such a way that it feels effortless; the response to the authoritarian context and the varying forms of expression towards it (the naive in the form of the friend, the willing in the protagonist, the obliviousness from the boyfriend, etc) results in a cinema that's as compelling for its formal ingenuity as it is for its harrowing content.

Even people that aren't accustomed to a cinema of this weight or rhythm are likely to be engaged from the beginning, I feel. (I'm usually terrible at judging the response from others, but my girlfriend sat through this without moving an inch.) Those long takes make the real time just excruciating to bear, even in the most mundane segments, such as that detour involving a dinner which is just perfectly conceived.

Perhaps an odd film to hold a great deal of love for, but it really floored me twelve years later and gave me a sense of relief that it wouldn't be relegated as a film that solely developed my taste. It's the kind of film where you feel like you've been holding your breath by the time it cuts to black.

Watched Bull Durham just now. Got it in the flash sale. I thought it looked great. Definitely had some teal, but it still looks way better than the old Blu-ray. Anyone have a freeze issue on it? At the 1:15 point it froze and then skipped a few seconds. Ejected and restarted it. Wonder if it’s a bad press or something. Anyone have an issue like this or similar on this title or another? If I contact Criterion, would they fix it easily?

Do you have another player to verify? I think Criterion would remedy the situation.
