According to the CCForum, Truffaut's Shoot The Piano Player is on tap for a January release. Its by the same source who correctly pinned the release of Heaven Can Wait. No one really is bickering on the board about this news so the outlook seems good. Expect more Truffaut to co-inside or follow.

I really liked it. Can't wait to see a decent copy. I saw it on a busted dvd where it wasn't centered, rather it was on the top 2/3. That bugged me.

Cheap shot. No need to go there.

I always wondered why there wasn't a Shoot The Piano Player criterion yet.

I hope there are some tasty features on this.

from dvdbeaver:

November Criterions

Ugetsu Monogatori (Mizoguchi, 1953)
Ran (Kurasawa, 1985)
Tales of Hoffman (Powell & Pressburger, 1951)
and possibly Pickpocket (Bresson, 1959)

what's this "possibly" business?!
yay for mizoguchi... hopefully The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums will be released not too far after Ugetsu.
