Today is a great day in Criterion history!! Charade, The Thin Red Line, Breathless, and Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence!

No box art for Thin Red Line?

They decided no box art because the people who wants it on Criterion just wants it for artwork. Smart move IMO. Darjeeling Limited will have no artwork either.

Perfect! I was just hoping for a white cover with Thin Red Line written on it in Times New Roman.

Well I know you guys always pre-order Criterion but this is will be my first. Audrey in Blu-ray. Christmas is early for me this year

Looks like I need to save a few dollars for september. All the releases are fantastic!! MCML is such a great film too. Wow, CC loses one Bowie film and puts another one out, just fantastic!! What a nice surprise on Breathless coming out. It will be the must-own of the blu-ray collection so far. It's been so long since I have seen Charade. That will be a nice treat too. 2 surprises and 2 expected. CC does not disappoint again!!!

Has anyone here seen Charade? I've heard a few things about it, but never seen it. Is it good?

captveg · 06-15-2010, 04:25 PM

The slight change to Charade's cover art is interesting. I wonder why they did it? The original cover would have fit just fine with the new logo.

Yes, it's good. Kind of a light-hearted Hitchcock mystery. It has a great comic through line in a story of fairly well built suspense. Grant, Hepburn, Matthau, Kennedy, and Coburn all give good performances, some campier than others.

I see Criterion has already changed the link to the cover of "Merry Christmas," so someone has to go back and change it... NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

The cinematography of the film is great too. If I remember, its filmed in France. There are many great looking scenes. This should also have a knockout transfer.

After watching Nagisa Oshima's Empire of Passion last night, I am very excited about Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence!

I just watched it a couple nights ago, a great film. Has a very Hitchcockian feel to it, and some great scenes between Hepburn and Grant.

SpiderBaby · 06-15-2010, 04:46 PM

Biggest news IMO, check out the dvd editions. Usually a 2-disc edition is $32. They are only $23 now. Is this marking a beginning where every new release is going to have a blu? They waited until after those silents to do so?
