Re: Roma (Alfonso Cuarón, 2018)
Staid, shallow, and derivative with nothing to say. I hated this very much. Cuaron should stick to the Hollywood circus pictures and leave Fellini’s corpse alone.

Re: 1014 Roma (2018)
I would be very curious to see the behind the scenes material. The film is a stupendous directorial achievement but I find it a bit off-putting in its conception.
Also what other Netflix films have received Blu-ray releases? It seems a bit unusual to me.

Netflix-wise, I'm hoping for THE IRISHMAN to get the physical media release it deserves -- I find it hard to believe Scorsese wouldn't have had that in his contract somewhere...

Other Side of the Wind seems like the obvious one.

Cool to have this on physical media but this is already streaming in 4K with Dolby Vision. This really was the perfect title for them to take the dive on UHD with. Very disappointing.
I hope the other Netflix titles don't meet the same fate.

Yes but can you stream the :: kogonada essay?

Re: 1014 Roma (2018)
A BD is coming - can't remember if it's Joseph McBride or someone else related to the film, but they've posted every now and then on social media to repeat that they're working on it and to be patient. No idea if it'll be a Criterion release though.The Narrator Returns wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 3:00 pmOther Side of the Wind seems like the obvious one.

A separate Criterion and Netflix thread should probably be made for this conversation, though.

Re: 1014 Roma (2018)
I don't really think this says anything about UHD, since this would be one of the first upgraded titles if that ever happens, and also because perhaps one of Netflix's contingencies was that they retain exclusivity in that format

This is the first Criterion release with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack.

Re: 1014 Roma (2018)
Roma looks like an amazing release with all those supps.
What I’ve been told was Criterion will release The Other Side of the Wind (which I think has been mentioned several times already, including by Philip Jan Rymsza) but the fundraising blu will come first. And that it’s still a bit away from coming.

Amazing news. I was getting worried that this might never get a physical release! Can’t wait to watch it again.

I wonder what packaging will look like, based on Benjamin Button’s traditional blue case— I bet we get some kind of conventional DigiBook case to circumvent the Criterion case inconsistency

Re: 1014 Roma (2018)
I expect the worldwide release is a big indication that the only reason this is coming is due to some contractual requirement from Cuaron or his team, seeing as I don’t see any reason at all why Netflix or Criterion would be particularly interested in doing this in every single market other than being essentially legally bound to.

Sounds like a substantial booklet/notebook. Maybe something like Do the Right Thing.

I think you were looking for this thread.david hare wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 6:52 pmOnce more, in the great tradition of Criterion being dragged by the heels screaming into any new direction (anamorphic widescreem, Blu Ray) we now have a Roma which has been quarantined to DVD and Blu Ray hard media. No word of 4K UHD. which locks up this title for the idnefinite future. Yet they followed the lead of a few other labels and included the Dolby Atmos track.
WHat the fuck is it with Criterion and their aversion to top level outcomes? Thanks to them I won't buy this disc nor will I recommend anyone else should. At least Netflix maintains 4K streaming (which was one of is best masters so far in that medium, including basic but carefully managed HDR.) I really am sick to death of this fucking label to say nothing for the last fewmonths of unbelievably uninspired "new" titles. I wish any other label got and and could have negotiatred physical media rights for this, and I wish Cuaron could have exercised some authority in at least pushing them in the UHD direction.
Fuck Criterion.

Re: 1014 Roma (2018)
It looks like it is getting a worldwide release, and not on UHD in any territory. I am not sure that the blame therefore lies with Criterion, it may even have been a Netflix stipulation on the physical media license.
