FEBRUARY: Paris Is Burning; Three Fantastic Journeys By Karel Zemen; Roma (Cuaron); Teorema; and a Blu upgrade of Antonio Gaudi.

As noted by literally every person I follow on Twitter, Roma means that maybe Criterion will put out The Other Side of the Wind.

Sure, but there's clearly one Netflix title that's hanging out there like a big overripe Criterion target.
― temporarily embarrassed thousandaire (Eric H.), Friday, 15 November 2019 20:51 (four years ago) link
Yeah, but it's part of the game to speculate about what'll come out the floodgates after only one title from a new partner gets announced.

Second Run just announced they are releasing zeman’s ‘journey to the beginning of time’. And yes, he is lots of fun!

Second Run have done a great job on Zemen so far.

Come and See (1985) rumored, as Janus Films is releasing the restoration theatrically in 2020.

I didn't know The Cranes Are Flying wasn't already on BR, great movie, + really glad Bamboozled has finally been announced.
where tf is Taste of Cherry? 😔

Both The Rock and Armageddon have Criterion spine numbers. Film restoration funding has to come from somewhere.
Still not a perplexing as Jellyfish Eyes.

Not to mention releasing every Wes Anderson movie. I like the guy but there's no way he has that many films that deserve to be in the collection, but as you said, it's what funds their more esoteric work, no complaints.

― flappy bird, Thursday, 2 January 2020 01:13 (four years ago) link
I'm assuming the Varda box will just be an upgrade of the "4" set. I think the WKW box is his entire body of work.
― flappy bird, Thursday, 2 January 2020 01:15 (four years ago) link
I think the Varda set will be bigger than just upgrading the old box. Her estate controls most if not all of her films, and I believe they are working with Janus on a touring retrospective, so there's a lot in play.

has anyone watched Chinese Roulette on the Criterion Channel? I don't have it. How does it look? old Pathfinder (?) DVD looks iffy. they've put out something by Fassbinder every year for the past decade or so, haven't they?
― flappy bird, Thursday, 2 January 2020 04:58 (four years ago) link
what's the likelihood the WKW set is all 9 features? I'd plonk down for that fer sure.

I'm shocked they hadn't put it out yet tbh. I never saw it, never appealed to me, kinda seems of a piece with Wes Anderson (Budapest Hotel finally gets a disc release after 5 years?)

Anderson had to sign off on GBH, and obviously was delayed making two movies.
MAYAEWK too has been in the pipeline for a long time. Vintage IFC title, IIRC.
