286- Divorce Italian Style

This I imagine will get an upgrade, either from Criterion or another label

Eclipse 3- Late Ozu

Unless I have missed something regarding rights issues, I hope this means Criterion will break up this box and upgrade to stand-alone editions in the main line.

Eclipse 3- Late Ozu

I vaguely recall an unsubstantiated rumor from a year or more ago, that Ozu would be the next big box set.

They're clearly transitioning a lot of DVD only titles to streaming and/or future BD/4K upgrades rather than keeping DVDs in print. Surely on a case by case basis, but it makes a lot of sense from a purely business perspective.

I think it made some logical sense that it might be the next big anniversary box set after Bergman, Fellini, and Pasolini given that there was some sort of touring retrospective for Ozu's 120th. But it never happened and I'm inclined to think that it never will now that ship has sailed.

Don’t forget that the Pasolini box was released around his 101st birthday, hence the title Pasolini 101. With a few high-profile exceptions, Criterion’s never been good about hitting anniversaries. I’m sure work on an Ozu box, which would be one of the largest sets they’ve ever created, is still happening.

With Umbrella's upcoming Haneke Blu box set coming soon, does anyone know if there's a risk of of his of his films going oop from criterion ala Von Trier's?

[dwk]

Not a Von Trier situation. All the Haneke titles that are with Janus are still with them.
