Good observation. It's listed at Amazon among all of the other September releases that appear on the Image site. Would be a damn expensive month, but I wouldn't complain.

I would have never guessed that they would do four re-issues in one month, and I'm even more surprised that I intend to pick up all four. I wonder now if I should I expect Picnic at Hanging Rock, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, The Third Man, and Grey Gardens for October. I'm being somewhat facetious of course, but this does bode well for future titles in need of upgrades. I'm betting that they're hanging on to The Third Man Redux to tie in with their upcoming Fallen Idol disc.

Earlier this year a lot of folks were speculating that Criterion would pad out what they claimed would be (in their opinion) more weak months with reissues + weak output. Seems to me they're planning on clearing out all the reissues in 2 or 3 months because they've got a lot of great stuff in the pipe to follow.

The new Brazil reissue had me thinking about that Amazon sale from last month:
Ugetsu
Seven Samurai
Brazil
The Third Man
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
M
Traffic
Grey Gardens
Young Mister Lincoln
Do The Right Thing
Short Cuts
My Own Private Idaho
Grand Illusion
The Complete Mr. Arkadin
We're getting new 7S, Brazil, 3man, GG. All the others have good releases already, except for Grand Illusion... another possible reissue?

Its only one disc.indiannamednobody wrote:What do you find wrong about the Grand Illusion DVD?? I find it absolutely perfect..
I think Grand Illusion is fine as it is, too, but if Criterion could find a way to fatten it and give it its own new high-def transfer, I would buy it with only a modest ammount of complaining. I can't see it happening, though...surely Criterion has scruples, and they worked very hard on the first disc.
I would, on the other hand, LOVE a reissue of the early Fuller releases, and The Red Shoes.

Not so sure... that would be like cracking LEOPARD.. in a sense. Or a single disc BATTLE ALGIERS. When they present study material they pretty much wanna see them used. ARKADIN's unique of course so anything's possible.ByMarkClark.com wrote:>>And ARKADIN too, it needs a new release. No director commentary. Lousy cheap fucks.<<
Actually, I predict there WILL be an ARKADIN reissue. A single-disc edition of the Comprehensive version. Give it a year.

I wouldn't be surprised if Walkabout were to be re-released in the near future... I mean they could have had these re-masters done for months now and it would certainly make sense if they did it while they had Mr. Roeg in for overseeing The Man Who Fell To Earth and Bad Timing...
I'm keeping my fingers tightly crossed for Andrei Rublev in a new ultra-deluxe-edition with the theatrical release alongside the 'Passion' edit (which is owned by Scorsese).

Don't worry about that. If there's anyone whose personal collection is well-preserved, it's Martin Scorsese. He has a personal archivist and is president of the Film Foundation--a non-profit film preservation organization--the co-chair of the AFI's National Center for Film and Video Preservation, and on the Board of Directors of the National Foundation for Film Preservation.

Certainly also would be a worthy addition to the MoC catalogue... but do not even begin to consider until you have delivered on Murnau, Naruse and Keatonpeerpee wrote:ANDREI RUBLEV definitely needs attention. A 3-disc set like THE LEOPARD.
A new HD, anamorphic transfer of the Scorsese print (as seen on the current CC disc).
Along with the *other* vastly different edit of the film available on the AE/Ruscico releases.
..and a disc of extras.
The definitive set.
