Criterion News and Discussion

[samsong]

the arbitrariness of life during wartime's inclusion (ifc) makes it that much more infuriating that the president of criterion said they won't be releasing certified copy as he considers it "minor kiarostami."  meanwhile tiny furniture will be getting a release.

glad though that satyajit ray has been inaugurated.  the music room is a great film.

[Stefen]

Excited about High and Low being issued on blu-ray. I bought both editions of the DVD. I'll buy the blu-ray too. Easily my favorite Kurosawa.

This is all I see when I look at these covers.

Exactly. I thought Criterion was above this shit.

Sidenote: I lost a box of DVDs during my move. I think I'll claim insurance. I can't remember how many Criterion blu rays I had. Surely a lot.

Blu Ray logo just appears on the wrapping. It doesn't appear on actual cover when you unwrap the DVD.

The Music Room (Jalsaghar) is a favorite of mine. I hope they release other Ray films as well. The Apu Trilogy would be the obvious choice, but Charulata, Devi, hell, any other Ray film, would be welcome as well. I've never been able to see any of his documentaries, so I'd love to see those too, even as extras on other films.

Life During Wartime doesn't even deserve to be on DVD.

Yes. This.

guys, can you watch the following link and tell me what's the song in the background??? I'm sure it's very well known but I just can't remember the damn thing.

it's a vid from artist ralph steadman doing the fear and loathing font title.
