I don't know anything about the copyright holders, but i do know that quality prints exist of all of these films, as i was able to watch them in the past two years in different cinemas. All of these are dearly missed on DVD.
- Anna (Nikita Mikhalkov)
Kuhle Wampe (Slatan Dudow)
La cicatrice interieur (Philippe Garrel)
Les hautes solitudes (Philippe Garrel)
Erosu purasu Gyakasatsu (Eros plus Massacre; Yoshishige Yoshida)
Sakaba Hakabune (Farewell, Ark; Shuji Terayama)
Mujo (Akio Jissoji)

... and i just realized it was released on VHS in 1999 by the bfi, so it's likely that it gets hold of the rights for a DVD edition easier.denti alligator wrote:[drool]mingus wrote: Kuhle Wampe (Slatan Dudow)
(after their release of People on Sunday i wouldn't be to surprised)
But if the rights are still to get, i would recommend the MoC to try and get it.
It's worth it.

No kidding! The Geneon transfer of this in R2 Japan is pretty decent, though maybe a bit of high contrast. I love this film, though I haven't seen it with subtitles, luckily Keiko McDonald and Desser each give fairly detailed synopsis. This would be ideal for a multiple version release, as there's a 165min version (that most have seen) and a 216min version which puts back in all the scenes that were excised due to an intervention on the part of Osugi's surviving mistress Kamichike Ichiko.mingus wrote:Erosu purasu Gyakasatsu (Eros plus Massacre; Yoshishige Yoshida)
It's just a matter of time before Yoshida is more lavishly exposed in the west. With his similarities to Antonioni, Mizoguchi, and Bergman (with many relatively unique qualities as well) I can see people connecting strongly. I would love to see MoC release some of his films, but I can imagine them going down more brightly lit paths first.
I would love to see the Terayama as well, I've only seen an unsubtitled DVD of this, and it confused the hell out of me. Subtitles are a must for this one, I think.
Clueless about the rest, but I'll look into them if you're listing them alongside the two I've seen. Thanks.

While it would be welcome, it seems unlikely given that it's already distributed in the UK by Artificial Eye.Any chance MoC can/will release Tarkovsky's NOSTALGHIA?

Not quite "random", but close, Humanity and Paper Balloons lists "Jean Renoir" as an MoC director in the inside flap. There are many Renoir films already available in R2... it'll probably be Toni, or The Lower Depths.
I would *love* to see a DVD of Picnic in the Grass though. Great bizarre film, and my *horrible* VHS is getting pretty worn.

Could it be that The Great Silence (Il Grande Silenzio) will get a DVD release through MOC? A filmcompany called CULT! will release it (in the UK in December) and they have also released Punishment Park and will release Vengeance Is Mine in September.

With Kino in the USA releasing DVDs of The Blue Bird and Lorna Doone in September (they have a small blurb on their website, apparently barebones discs), would it be impossible for MoC to release Maurice Tourneur's film La Main Enchantée (aka Carnival of Sinners, AKA The Devil's Hand)?
I've understood this to be one of the best films made during the occupation of France...a horror film starring Pierre Fresnay, no less, and directed by one of the pioneers of cinema.
