On Blu-ray later this year according to my favorite home video website, The Digital Bits. I love Blu-ray.
October 19. This one includes Hearts of Darkness, the documentary about the making of this masterpiece.
Amazon now has a Criterion edition of The Thin Red Line available for pre-order on Blu-ray. No release date yet, nor official word from Criterion, but it’s been rumored for ages and a pre-order page on Amazon can only mean good things.
Days of Heaven (1978) - The Criterion Collection - It’s out, folks. Truly, among the most beautiful works of visual art ever produced. To experience it is to love it forever.
…What’s that? You’re noticing a trend? Criterion movies? Yes. Yes, you’re right. Criterion is pure awesome.
This film is one reason I want to make films. Beautiful, austere, heartfelt—it is everything a truly great film should be.
I sold my old DVD when I heard Criterion was bringing it to Blu-ray. In gloriously typical Criterion fashion, everything about this disc is amazing: the picture, the sound, the bonus features, the commentary, the booklet that comes with it—everything.
Red Desert (1964) - The Criterion Collection - Finally! Arguably Antonioni’s best film, and certainly my favorite of his.
I’ve been hoping for this day since I first saw this film in my Intro to Film class in the fall of 2003. My professor was one Robert Kolker who apologized before he screened it for the then-DVD’s “crudeness.”
I have no doubt Criterion has given Red Desert the care it deserves.
The self-destructive romanticism, the artistic self-consciousness, the frenetically unhinged form, the blend of emotional extravagance and cool self-mocking, the vanished boundaries between irony and sincerity and between symbol and reality, the overt cinematic breakdown and breakup, were all of their moment. Pierrot le fou was the last of Godard’s first films, the herald of even more radical rejections and reconstructions to come—for Godard and for the world around him.
Pierrot le fou: Self-Portrait in a Shattered Lens - From the Current - Buy it while you can. I did.
