Re: Cohen Film Collection
The credits at Film Forum also credited the BFI, so hopefully/probably they are releasing it too?

Re: Cohen Film Collection
They were probably just involved in the restoration, much like the silent films. I'm fairly certain the rights are with ITV, so if a U.K. disc is coming it'll be from them or (more likely) Network.

Jamaica Inn at Beaver. Looks tremendous, considering all the previous releases.

Re: Cohen Film Collection
I agree with Hare. The film is a sack of shit.
That begs the question - has there been a decent adaptation of Jamaica Inn?
That was much ado about nothing. My wife (who isn't an English native speaker) didn't have any more trouble with that than usual. Shame that that adaptation wasn't up to much either.Dr Amicus wrote:Maybe so, but do the cast mumble?david hare wrote:Pity about the film

As per an answer to a twitter question about a bluray release of the 4k The General....."We do plan a major re-release of Keaton's The General sometime in the next few years."

A footnote in the same article:FrauBlucher wrote:Cohen has a Pialat coming.....Under the Sun of Satan
Note: Last year, the Cohen Media Group acquired the U.S. rights to eight classic films from Gaumont's catalog: Jean-Luc Godard's A Married Woman, Federico Fellini's City of Women, and Pialat's Under the Sun of Satan, Loulou, Van Gogh, The Mouth Agape, Get Your Diploma, and L'Amour Existe (Love Exists).

Re: Cohen Film Collection
It'll be interesting to see what Cohen cooks up in terms of extras to compete with the MoCs. I think this label is producing some of the best intelligent extras on the market, so I fully expect to be wooed to many a double-dip

Re: Cohen Film Collection
I'm generally pro-Cohen and they've been doing a good job with their French releases in particular, but man Two Men in Manhattan's interview between IV and Rosenbaum is poorly done-- the two are filmed sitting in director high chairs and Rosenbaum is balancing a paperback about Melville on his lap while the two exchange non-insights. The opening discussion prompt is, I kid you not, "Who in your opinion is the hero of this film?" I wouldn't even open my high school film studies classes with that! It didn't help that I found the film awful besides (I've seen nearly every Melville film and this is way down at the bottom with no real competition)

Re: Cohen Film Collection
I actually appreciated Rosenbaum plugging Vincendeau's book here and making it a part of the conversation - it's not only the best Melville book out there but one of the best director studies, period, and a lot of the talking points are taken directly from it so it seems a stroke of honesty for him to have it on hand. I think it's a decent conversation, hardcore Melville fans probably won't learn much but I could see it being pretty informative for your casual cinephile who maybe took a chance on the release and for whom, say, the Melville-Resistance connection is less than obvious.
I like the movie, it's certainly slight but clearly personal and dripping with atmosphere. When You Read This Letter must be the one you've never seen - the only truly bad movie Melville made imo.
