Bones and All (2022) - January 31, 2023

[MifuneFan]

Bones and All, the newest film from Luca Guadagnino (Suspiria, Call Me By Your Name), will be released on Blu-ray on January 31st. This is an MGM release being distributed through Warner's MOD system (it will be pressed). I saw this romance/horror/road film in theater and thought it was very good. Mark Rylance was especially great in it.

Love blossoms between a young woman on the margins of society and a disenfranchised drifter as they embark on a 3,000-mile odyssey through the backroads of America. However, despite their best efforts, all roads lead back to their terrifying pasts and a final stand that will determine whether their love can survive their differences.

The actress is sexy.

This means no slipcover and won't be carried in brick & mortar stores.

Is this WB's first MGM MOD? (so many acronyms)

Unsure about WB, but MGM did the same with this film Flag Day - https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Flag-Day-Blu-ray/302292/

Well, at least it's getting a release. I wasn't too sure if it was going to happen.

Bones and All is my favorite film of the year and I was really hoping for a 4K release but I’m surprised this film is getting a MOD release. I thought the film has done fairly well in the box office. I’m just happy that the film is getting a physical release nonetheless.

[HorrorBlu]

It is pretty strange to see a new release movie relegated to MOD blu-ray (I don't even see a DVD option for WalMart stores or whatever), but after Barbarian I guess I'm just grateful it is happening at all.

[Bubbles-11]

I think the reason this is an MOD release is because the subject matter could be too disturbing for stores to carry

[4Dblu]

Wow, MODGotta track it down....

[joenostalgia23]

If there’s no 4K disc I hope the digital copy at least redeems in 4K like so many of the MGM titles have recently.

[James Luckard]

No UHD? That's too bad.

The George Miller movie flopped just as badly and still got a UHD.

I was hoping MGM's move to Warners would mean more of their titles got UHDs, House of Gucci was BD-only when MGM was over at Universal last year.

[Paul.R.S]

Sigh. If even a fairly high profile new MGM theatrical can't get a Warner-distribbed UHD BD, I have to continue to curb my enthusiasm for the catalog prospects?

I'd love to see the flash mob of Timothee fans in front of the offices of whatever entity dared tweet this rationale.

I'm confident that sometime after I buy the blu-ray that a 4K disc will be announced somewhere.

This film had more than one distributor in markets outside the US, so chances are decent for that, I would think.

[Grognak]

So no 4K?

Luca Guadagnino in 4K is a rare sight unfortunately. And even the ones we do get either go oop quick (Suspiria) or are set exclusives (CMBYN).

There's still hope it might get a 4K release in Italy because it has a different distributor there, like most Guadagnino films.

I honestly doubt the subject matter has that much of an effect as many of the stores were quick to carry "Hannibal" (both the film and the TV series) across multiple platforms for almost two decades. Given everything that's currently happening at WB right now, I've no doubt money's being tightened around the home video department as much as it is every other part of the company, hence the MGM acquisitions being so skimpy. Besides, didn't they also do similarly with "Three Thousand Years of Longing" (only that got a 4K release because of George Miller's history)?

The Suspiria UHD from Germany also apparently had two technical flaws. They forgot to include the opening credits title cards over the opening scene, so the footage just apparently plays as the raw footage without the titles over top. And they also put the subtitles, which are supposed to be in certain colors, in the wrong colors, I believe.
