I'm being a bit greedy here, but do we have any idea what the next Tarr film might be? Or have they even hinted at there being additional titles?

malakaheso · 09-28-2021, 04:04 AM

I wonder why Tarr granted an interview for this but not Satantango?

Perhaps due to the pandemic, or scheduling conflicts they couldn't arrange something?

Things got lost in translation. They said interview and he heard it as feature-length commentary.

Farewell to Eiichi Yamamoto who worked first on Tezuka's modernist-experimental Tales of a Street Corner (1962) then directed several episodes of Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion. His most celebrated directorial work followed with the trilogy of A Thousand and One Nights (1969), Cleopatra (1970), and Belladonna of Sadness (1973).

He was also among the first to call out overwork in the anime world.

Fidelity in Motion’s Twitter reposted the Damnation announcement. So it looks like a good chance their and Arbelos’ relationship continues!

Anyone who ordered Damnation direct from Arbelos have their copy ship yet? DiabolikDVD has had this in stock for the past several days, but I haven't heard a peep about my pre-order from Arbelos.

My preorder “shipped” two days ago, on Friday in the evening. As in I’ve got tracking but no movement.

Cool. All I needed to know

castor · 12-14-2021, 01:43 AM

Amazon says my copy is arriving tomorrow. The tracking says it's moving.

I received and watched Damnation today. It looks very good!

Beautiful restoration work from the team and mixed with the usual high work of Fidelity in Motion! I feel like Arbelos is an underrated label, and Craig’s new label Deaf Crocodile will hopefully keep up the trend of fantastic releases!

ticktock60 · 12-19-2021, 03:59 AM

If Arbelos is listening, Werckmeister Harmonies next please.

I thought that wasn’t a possibility at the present due to rights issues…? Only film of Tarr’s that I ever got to see in 35mm

I don’t want them to stop there! I want The Man From London and all his pre-Damnation stuff to get Blu releases!

My copy of "Damnation" arrived a week or so ago. I meant to post pictures then. Here they are:

Arbelos has restored all of Nina Menkes movies and is planning a boxset, following a theatrical tour!

In the interest of honesty, I had no clue who Arbelos was last November. As of this past Saturday, I have all of your releases (with the exception of a Sátántangó LE).

Keep up the amazing work; looking forward to Chameleon Street and the Menkes box!

MifuneFan · 09-10-2022, 07:38 PM

This thread doesn't see much activity, but I wanted to mention that Arbelos has Wayne Wang's Life is Cheap… But Toilet Paper is Expensive (1990), which is being screened from a 4K restoration. Apparently it's a new director's cut too

Hi Arbelos fans,

We’re especially proud to announce our latest special edition blu-ray set, Cinematic Sorceress: The Films of Nina Menkes, a generous six film collection highlighting the legendary American auteur’s career in path-breaking narrative filmmaking on the occasion of the theatrical release of her latest documentary Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power!

The New York Times has dubbed Nina Menkes “a cinematic sorceress of the self,” and continued, “no less than David Lynch, Ms. Menkes is an artist of the unconscious for whom the creative and the spiritual quest are one and the same.” The Los Angeles Times affirmed Menkes as “one of the most provocative and challenging artists today.”

Leading with new restorations of Queen of Diamonds, The Bloody Child and Magdalena Viraga, and new remasters of The Great Sadness of Zohara and Phantom Love, this set also features a wealth of bonus materials including new video and post-screening interviews with Nina Menkes, director’s commentary tracks on four films, a new video essay by Jessica McGoff, three theatrical trailers, and a booklet featuring a new essay by Elena Gorfinkel.

This slipcase edition of Cinematic Sorceress: The Films of Nina Menkes is limited to 1,000 copies and will also include 6 collectible 4x6 postcards. Available exclusively through the Arbelos online store.

Available for pre-order now and will ship January 31, 2023.
