Re: Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7
A Raisin in the Sun comes to mind but I am not sure that’s what it is.

It' s actually Rising Sun (1993). You heard it here first.

It's needlessly complicated and pun-free if it's in fact a clue for Raisin in the Sun, so I'm doubtful

...and I'd imagine they'd draw a single raisin not attached to a tree were it A Raisin in the Sun

That doesn't totally work either, but I like the prospect of that release more.criterionsnob wrote:Raisin(g) Arizona

Re: Criterion Newsletter: Clues and More, Volume Four
I mean how many grape/raisin related titles are there? What's Eating Gilbert Grape? Grapes of Wrath? I can't think of it being anything other than A Raisin in the Sun.

There is what appears to be a quince tree and a sun and they announced an Erice last month.

Re: Criterion Newsletter: Clues and More, Volume Four
Well I could see an argument that one grape or raisin wouldn't be very identifiable, I don't think, whereas a bunch of grapes is easily identifiable as such. Maybe if they'd put a California Raisin laying thereOmensetter wrote:...and I'd imagine they'd draw a single raisin not attached to a tree were it A Raisin in the Sun
But the suntan lotion makes me think there's something else going on, too...

Re: Criterion Newsletter: Clues and More, Volume Four
Even though it is a bunch of grapes rather than a single grape, I’m convinced it’s for A Raisin In The Sun. It’s an American classic in both theater and film, a cultural touchstone, and it lacks a Blu-ray release despite that.
I’d further guess that the recent American Masters documentary Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart on Lorraine Hansberry is included as a supplement.
(As much as I’d love to see more Erice, those are definitely grapes and not quince.)

Raisins in the sun, meaning more than one version of the adaptation is included on the release

Grapes on vacation...The Great (Grape) Escape?
Was an old LD and recently showed up on Filmstruck with the old commentary (like Silence of Lambs did before it was re-released)

I still think Raisin in the Sun is the most convincing, but I'll just throw this one out there: Suntan oil. Bunch of grapes.

Re: Criterion Newsletter: Clues and More, Volume Four
Yeah, my Quince stab was definitely a case of wanting to see something that's not there.
---
A Raisin in the Sun seems likely---grapes without sunscreen in a sun. There's probably multiple grapes because the broadest way to convey grapes is to have them in a bunch.
The film's serviceable. It's not particularly filmic, but a faithful adaptation of A Raisin in the Sun is more than enough and the performances are typically great. Poitier would enter the collection in a non-narration capacity. This one will definitely depend on the supplements, of which there should be plenty---that PBS documentary DeprongMoi mentioned upthread is solid and hopefully available. Not a particularly exciting release, but it needs a new edition; I'm just going to purchase it for school.
