Thanks, interesting thread. Just to satisfy my curiosity, why no #4 or #6?

They probably just haven't been announced, yet, would be my guess. Disc #1 hasn't even been released, yet, either... only #2 and #3 so far.

I really wanted to get the whole series, but I just can't see buying "For All Mankind" now that Criterion's version is out. Except for MOC's booklet, I believe both discs are identical.

Not announced yet. #5 and #7 will be released in November which is 4 months away. "La tête contre les murs" should be one of those two.

ccfixx - you clearly have multi-region capability. For those of us in Region B, this edition is a BOON, since Criterion region-lock their Blus.

Roll on more Criterions duped by MoC I say!

[KENTA]

I cannot wait for Sunrise!
Since Kino owns the rights for this beautiful film in the US and we'll never get a Criterion treatement, the MoC release will be the most complete package for a long time.

I was wrong. DVD is coming in September but no BD release.

We don't have anyone from Eureka here on the forums do we? I was just thinking, we should be suggesting to them what we would like to see. I realise some licenses that Criterion do are held in the UK by the BFI, Arrow, Optimum and sometimes others, but you never know...

Has anyone at Eureka expressed an interest in acquiring the license for the Japanese film Okuribito (Departures)? Noone in the UK has the rights (which I find weird considering it won an Oscar), and they are the only ones who I think could do justice for this movie (with the exception of Criterion & since I don't know if Regency is going to release a US version). A BR version of this movie would be beautiful

Wish I had something more to add other than #2 and #3 are awesome transfers of awesome movies.

[Hugh K. David]

Pro-B - excellent news! Will give this some thought, post some ideas later in the week.

Hello,

I am sorry, I did not see your post earlier. To answer your question -- I am unaware of any such upcoming release.

This new 2009 reissue of Sunrise (for the first time anywhere in the world in 1080p HD on Blu-ray, in addition to a newly mastered 2 x DVD set) contains two versions of the film: the previously released Movietone version, and an alternate silent version of the film recently discovered in the Czech Republic. The Blu-ray edition includes both versions in 1080p HD.

The culmination of one of the greatest careers in film history, F. W. Murnau’s Sunrise blends a story of fable-like simplicity with unparalled visual imagination and technical ingenuity. Invited to Hollywood by William Fox and given total artistic freedom on any project he wished, Murnau’s tale of the idyllic marriage of a peasant couple (George O’Brien and Janet Gaynor) threatened by a Machiavellian seductress from the city (Margaret Livingston) created a milestone of film expressionism.

Made in the twilight of the silent era, it became both a swan song for a vanishing medium and one of the few films to instantly achieve legendary status. Winner of three Oscars for Best Actress (Gaynor), Cinematography, and a never-repeated award for “Unique and Artistic Picture”, its influence and stature has only grown with each passing year. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present a new 2xDVD and Blu-ray special edition of the film, including an all-new alternate version recently discovered in a Czech archive of a higher visual quality than any other known source.

I also would like to mention (since it is so small on the OP) that MoC said Fritz Lang's Metropolis will eventually be released on Blu-ray by them. They are just waiting for certain elements to be completed. I saw this on MoCs section of the Criterion Forum and thought I would pass that on.
