So it be. Strangely it is not on the book cover. Wonder if there is theoretical thinking behind the decision or just a quirk of design.

Svet uploaded some packaging shots for A Face in the Crowd and it looks like one of Criterion's best packages in a while

That's great and all Chris but when are you going to give what the FANS want and start reviewing the Bergman boxset?

Oh shit, I forgot about that. It was never sent out to me so I had ordered it when it was between print runs to get the half-off price. It doesn't appear to have been sent out so now I have to call BN and ask them what's up! Ha, thanks for the reminder.

A production still used for the inside artwork. Is this a first?

Ghost World had some production polaroids as its inner print.

A new cost-cutting experiment? A sideways slipcover for Police Story / Police Story 2.
So that's why there are two spines on the digipak.

You really have to click that link to even decipher what that means, as the above picture is just confusing. It's basically like the old Mr Show season sets with the slipcover's openings on the sides instead of the top and bottom

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7
Pretty much, but I don't think it's common at all to have both sides open, while top/bottom open slips are very common (see, for instance, the older Criterion BD digipacks). That's actually quite practical, since Criterion digis have always been printed "backwards" to me. This way, I could have the front facing the same way than their Scanavo releases.
I don't think a single moment it's a cost-cutting experiment, but rather a way to let people play with the way they want to display it in combination with the 2 inner artworks.

Blue Velvet - though mild, I'd say it's NSFW
One Sings, the Other Doesn't
Blue Velvet's front cover uses a metallic ink for the blacks so there's a cool little effect when you shift it in the light.

I like them all, especially the Ozu.
Edit: and the Koker Trilogy!

Oooh, I love the Koker covers! Good concept and I think they pulled it off.

Boy do I like the Koker trilogy, even if the thing with the frames is maybe a little too on the nose.

I love the Ozu cover. I much prefer these types of covers to the collages of Late Spring and Tokyo Story.

I like the Ozu cover, although I find the title find a bit too bland and neutral. The color choices also are a bit odd for me, as I didn't get a sense of warmth from this film (or most black&white Ozus). Although, the use of space is quite great.
The Koker Trilogy's also very clean and elegant in a way most new Criterion covers haven't been lately, I think.
And the Magnificent Obsession cover is just one of the most beautiful covers Criterion's ever done, in my opinion.

The art for MO is from the poster, but the shadow font is a bad choice... though I think I still voted for it as cover of the year when the DVD was released!
