Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
It was my understanding that 4K restorations were being done on all his Iranian films.
Edit: It's just a question of whether Criterion wants to release the 4K restoration of Close-Up, and the only way that would happen is if there was a retrospective boxset.

Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
Why not? Unlike the Bergman that would be a day one buy for me. I can live without The Wind Will Carry Us, but having all his earlier work + Koker + everything else but Wind is a godsend for me. I hope they'll announce something next month as I am about to begin going through all his films soon.Omensetter wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2019 10:08 amI also do not seen the point of extending box mania to Kiarostami

I can see Cohen making a deal with Criterion, I don’t know why everyone’s assuming they won’t

Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
Does anyone know who owns the rights to Ten + 10 on Ten and Five? Ten was issued on DVD by Zeitgeist, but is no longer on their website, and its page on Kino Lorber's website no longer exists.
It's certainly plausible that a Kiarostami set is forthcoming this year---the last time they toured a significant portion of a director's oeuvre, it resulted in one, but I do not think it's been delayed. The Rosenbaum tweet from last year noncommittally refers to early next year, and the Koker Trilogy was of course teased in the New Year's clue for 2019, with the earliest it could be announced being in April. Criterion announced a retrospective of essentially his entire oeuvre on 01/25 to start on 08/02 in NYC. No other tour dates have yet to be announced. So, it seems like its arriving once the weather turns cold again, unless they want to release it during the middle of their tour for some reason.

They would be licensed from mk2 so it's possible they could end up with a potential Kiarostami retrospective set as well.

Kelly Reichardt's Old Joy is up on the Criterion Channel, opening with Criterion Collection and Janus logos. (Don't know if this was true when it was on Filmstruck, so sorry if this has already been noted.)

Nightmare Alley is currently on TCM's Noir Alley. It looks very good. I'm surprised to see that no one has put it out. Edmond Goulding has a phantom page. I wonder if this could be Criterion bound.

Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
I'm bumping up this very early list from the Phantom Page Thread. I x the names that are now attached to films.... Still many names left. Being from early 2013 so don't think CC was listing names for the future Filmstruck. But you never know. Please make any corrections or additions I may have left off.

Jason Sanders wrote:All Wong [Kar-wai]’s films are slated to receive brand-new 4K restorations and will be re-released as part of a touring package sometime in 2020. Wong’s own studio, Jet Tone Films, is behind the restorations (Janus/Criterion will have US rights), and he’s been taking a few titles along in his appearances here in Hawaii, as well as in New York and France.

Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
yoloswegmaster, they definitely have phantom pages but they came later on. The list was created from the first group of phantom pages that went up.
Thanks for the heads up.DeprongMori wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2019 4:02 pmRe: Phantom pages
Ritwik Ghatak is already in the Collection with A River Called Titas.

Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
Being that Criterion are no longer creating phantom pages I think that these left over director pages are just random speculation at this point.I just posted that list from over 6 years ago as a reference (geez, where has time gone).

Even though it might be with Kino, hopefully Criterion doesn’t fuck it up and put this in a boxset with other WCP films.

Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
I find it hard to imagine it would be released without the alternate ending. Even the 35mm print I saw a couple of years back had it tacked onto the end after some explanatory text.

If Criterion has this I can't imgine they would put it in WCP boxset. Buñuel is too big to not give this an independent release.
