Thankfully we've been spared The Serpent's Egg.

I'm very sorry it wasn't included. It's never been released anamorphically on DVD. Quite a wasted opportunity here.Big Ben wrote:Thankfully we've been spared The Serpent's Egg.
I meant it more as a joke and it most certainly doesn't come off that way and I'm sorry about that. I don't think any of Bergman's films should languish in obscurity but everyone even remotely familiar with the film knows it's not hailed widely as a masterpiece.Cremildo wrote:I'm very sorry it wasn't included.

They seem to keep giving different info. The poster on the previous page of this topic lists 32 films (and says "over 30!"), while the Janus front page says "traveling retrospective of all of his feature films!"Andrew_VB wrote:it says 24 films but the seventh seal is there twice. is it 23 films or is something missing?
Also Salesman is touring - so now we have an upgrade we can actually predict.FrauBlucher wrote:Kiarostami's 24 Frames has a front page on the Janus site
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I think it has to do with the underlying rights. SHAME, HOUR OF THE WOLF, THE PASSION OF ANNA, and PERSONA were produced (or co-produced?) by Svensk Filmindustri and were first distributed in the US by Lopert Pictures and United Artists. When MGM acquired UA, those titles were included in the package. It's simply a case where Janus Films was able to pick up those films now that the older agreement has expired.Big Ben wrote:I was wondering about Shame and Hour of the Wolf because the rights were with MGM I believe? They had a sort of arthouse band they put at the top of foreign films like Fellini Satyricon. I notice another MGM Bergman, The Serpent's Egg is NOT there though. Given it's reputation I'm not shocked.
More Bergman has been added to the Janus site: Faro Document & Faro Document 1979, Thirst and The Touch.
