...including Godard's "A Woman is a Woman"!!!!!

now if only they'll do "Weekend"....

I have been wishing for a Chris Marker set myself (i've seen very little of his stuff)

― ryan (ryan), Sunday, 4 April 2004 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm waiting patiently for the eisenstein silents set and a dvd of 'au hasard balthazar'

― amateur!st (amateurist), Sunday, 4 April 2004 15:46 (twenty-two years ago)

A Marker set would be incredible & would be a nice continuation of Criterion's embrace of experimental shorts, started with the "By Brakhage" collection.

I would love to see a collection of Jem Cohen's films released by Criterion, but I'm certainly not holding my breath.

― jay blanchard (jay blanchard), Monday, 5 April 2004 00:49 (twenty-two years ago)

au hasard was playing at the music box last week, i was speechless.

― todd swiss (eliti), Monday, 5 April 2004 02:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't wait for the Battle of Algiers release that should be soon enough.

Once again, I refer you all to the wonderfully great Criterion messageboard of http://pub125.ezboard.com/bcriterioncollectionforum/

the problem with criterion is that i am always tempted to buy them even if i dont like or havent seen the movie because the packaging is so nice.

― ryan (ryan), Monday, 5 April 2004 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, but you really can't go wrong--nearly everything they release is golden.

The Leopard is amazing! Burt Lancaster's is one of the classic performance.s It is, however, very long and even more difficult to follow than The Big Sleep.

― Chuck Tatum (Chuck Tatum), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Au Hasard Balthazar will be out in Criterion before the year is out.

Weekend is owned by New Yorker films but no plans for a DVD have been made. It may come on Region 2 at some point.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 16 April 2004 23:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, I bought that as well -- also grabbed 3 Women -- I can't wait to watch it!

― BabyBuddha (BabyBuddha), Saturday, 17 April 2004 05:01 (twenty-two years ago)

could someone explain to me why criterion collection dvds cost so much?! even the single discs can be 40 bucks. im missing something, i know it.

― tom cleveland (tom cleveland), Saturday, 17 April 2004 20:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Not many sold per title, lots of extras, costs of transfer and cleaning.

And because they can - they've got the name and the identity to hook in film geeks, where else are you going to turn, New Yorker?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Sunday, 18 April 2004 01:42 (twenty-two years ago)

They're really not $40, that's just the MSRP. Most of them go for just a bit more than you'd probably want to pay for an average, if you know where to look. I highly recommend DVD Price Search - but if you want to take the short route, usually Deep Discount DVD tends to the have the best prices on Criterions (and free shipping to boot!).

― Girolamo Savonarola, Sunday, 18 April 2004 02:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Rumor at those Criterion forums, though, seems to indicate Criterion is gently phasing out their $29/$39 pricing patterns and easing into an appalling $39/$49 structure (which explains their rather excessive double-disc sets lately). If this turns out to be true, I'm afraid I'll have to put my foot down and refuse to buy more than one a month from these people.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Sunday, 18 April 2004 06:31 (twenty-two years ago)

alright alright. this ones a little harder:
why does Armageddon have its own criterion version?

― tom cleveland (tom cleveland), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 02:01 (twenty-two years ago)

why does Armageddon have its own criterion version?

I haven't seen it, but supposedly it was aimed at the special effects mavens out there. Also I recall reading an interview with one of the Criterion folks who said that the revenues from the Armageddon allowed them to fund a lot of other less-popular titles.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 03:51 (twenty-two years ago)

balthazar getty needs some $$$$$$$ give it to him now luv me.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 06:23 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a salon interview with Criterion's Peter Becker that directly addresses the Armageddon question. (Which 2 dvd set, by the way, I have and it's great. I love the movie though.)

Here's just the start of the relevant section:

Specifically, with "Armageddon": You'd be silly to overlook blockbusters as a genre and leave them out of a film library. They drive so much. They drive tastes and shooting styles and visual references that appear all over the world in commercials and on TV as well as on movie screens. They're part of a huge cultural cross-pollination. And special effects are one of the most important aspects of a certain kind of contemporary filmmaking.

― andrew s (andrew s), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

How true is that today? I can't think of the last Armageddon-esque blockbuster that visually influential on film/tv/commercials (incl. Armageddon).

Is The Rock Criterion still in print? I'd much rather have that than Armageddon.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 19:22 (twenty-two years ago)

The Rock criterion is still available. When I think of visually influential blockbusters (for good or ill), I have trouble getting past The Matrix. The interview is like 4 years old now, but he has more to say following that though. Part of me wishes the answer had simply been "just to piss you off" though.

Those were the days when you actually got your $140 million dollars worth out of your production budget.

― andrew s (andrew s), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I forgot about the Matrix (and don't think of it as a blockbuster in the Independence Day mold, didn't it kind of come out of nowhere?), that would be one.

I miss the days when a budget topping $80mln was big news and a reason to go see the film. Now that barely buys you a romantic comedy.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

thats because the romantic sunsent that juxtaposes meg ryan's silhouette at the end has to be done in CGI by ILM.

― tom cleveland (tom cleveland), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 00:17 (twenty-two years ago)

In regards to blockbuster films influencing TV commercial/music video styles (re: "Armaggedon"), I think in the majority of instances that it's the other way around. Michel Gondry and Chris Cunningham being a good example, and Mark Romanek's early NIN videos were a huge influence on David Fincher when he made "Seven". In my experience, true innovation usually comes from the avant-garde/indie/short format arenas, simply because it's easier to take risks on a short or cheap project than a studio produced narrative feature.

― jay blanchard (jay blanchard), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 22:25 (twenty-two years ago)

but does that innovation ever really catch on to be something bigger? it doesnt quite seem possible these days (in any sort of creative endeavor).

― tom cleveland (tom cleveland), Thursday, 22 April 2004 02:37 (twenty-two years ago)

personally i prefer dvds with a good transfer of the film and few if any bonus, presuming that this way they would be priced a bit lower. but criterion has a big network of fans who like exactly what they do, and purchase accordingly. there are a number of criterion titles i'd like to buy if i had the money, and should i ever have the money i will buy them. but for now i'll stick to the more inexpensive titles. sometimes the bfi in the uk or studiocanal in france will release the same titles for a cheaper sticker price, with fewer extras.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Thursday, 22 April 2004 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think I've watched the extras on 95% of the DVDs I own. A funny commentary here and there, but that's about it.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 22 April 2004 19:11 (twenty-two years ago)

absolutely. the idea of extras is a lot more interesting than actually sitting through a thousand production photos. commentaries and perhaps documentaries are about the extent of my interest.

― ryan (ryan), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

"but does that innovation ever really catch on to be something bigger? it doesnt quite seem possible these days (in any sort of creative endeavor). "

it depends on how you look at it. it my mind, there's no need for it to necessarily become somethi@5{te the suggestion that short films/music videos/avant-garde & experimental work are just a "warm-up" for a feature length narrative. it's kind of absurd to but a limitation of film that it has to be 90-180 minutes long with actors, dialogue & a plot. at least 50% of my favorite cinematic works don't fit into the categorization, and whenever i hear about people complaining about a lack of innovation in film, it's usually because all they watch are feature length narratives.

but as for the idea of the innovation in these works not "catching on" in the mainstream, you simply have to look around you to see their influence: magazines, billboards, popular films and music, even architecture. it's everywhere, and most of the good, innovative feature filmmakers will be the first to admit that they've been influenced by someone like michel gondry, spike jonze, jem cohen, etc.

― jay blanchard (jay blanchard), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:09 (twenty-two years ago)

― joseph (joseph), Friday, 23 April 2004 20:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Like I said... I'd expect these three-disc sets to become something of a norm. This is the third in the space of a half year, whereas the first roughly five years of Criterion DVDs brought only one (Brazil).

― a ZX spectrum is haunting Europe (Daniel_Rf), Thursday, 16 January 2025 09:29 (one year ago)

I think it depends on the movie (and your TV I guess). I've watched a couple of 4Ks (not Criterion though) on a 65" oled and while the 4K resolution itself probably makes a marginal at best difference, the dynamic range of the colours can be amazing.

― silverfish, Thursday, 16 January 2025 15:39 (one year ago)

I'm not going 4K anytime soon (or maybe ever), but during the last B&N sale I picked up the dual-format Paper Moon because the packaging is so lovely & clever.

A bunch of their films have apparently been restored in 4k, no idea if or when they will ever show up in the United States. I have no idea how these decisions are made, sometimes it's rights, sometimes it's some impenetrable strategy. Same with, say, Criterion and Kurosawa. Between the US and Europe and Japan, a lot of his movies have restored source materials, but the rollout is so strange and unpredictable and sort of willy-nilly. It's become this big game of impatience and delayed gratification and even simply managing expectations.
