Criterion Newsletter (Part 2)

[Gregory]

I would be amazed if they didn't at least give us Essential Arthouse releases of them (as they're doing with the Carné film).

[Saturnome]

I'm sure we're getting a new Kurosawa Eclipse in January.

But, oh man, I expected the Sternbergs soon. What does "Not on schedule" mean? How many months, at minimum?

"Not on schedule", as in the near production future. It is not known the exact months, but their schedule seems to be on a yearly basis as far as I know.

Eclipse Series Vol. 18 Kurosawa: The Leftovers

No kevyip tonight Timmy! You're not leaving this TV set till you've finished watching those films!

[Tom Hagen]

I am a fairly unabashed Criterion apologist, but the Dielman YouTube competition . . . wow. Get the waterskis and the leather jacket ready.

[Jeff]

I admire Criterion's decision to do something different to promote one of their releases. It sounds like fun. I can't wait to check out the videos, and may even cook something up myself.

A word of friendly advice: anybody who enters the competition and doesn't dress up in Delphine drag doesn't deserve to win.

(Though I'm willing to accept videos done as Delphine-in-Marienbad or Delphine-in-Donkey-Skin.)

[-( The only Seyrig drag costume I'll accept is Marie-Madeleine.

[Oggilby]

Someone should upload a cooking video inspired by Blood of the Beasts as their entry.

It's been done.

[Peacock]

So is no one else a slobbering pervert with the announcement of Docks of New York? Has there been a recent restoration or anything? Does no one have anything to say!! aaaa aaah

[Tommaso]

The Sternberg silents have been rumoured for so long that I found it sincerely disappointing to hear that they are only coming 'sometime in 2010'. That's why I didn't slobber, rather on the contrary. I wanted the darn things out 12 months ago!!

Not Simone Thévenot? After being repeatedly invited to dinner but denied the opportunity to actually eat, does it not make sense that one would finally take matters into their own hands?

[bamwc2]

Having only seen the three Ophuls in the collection, I'm at a loss.

[oldsheperd]

I didn't know the Johnathan Demme version was a remake!

[Saturnome]

That's Lola, I guess.

[mteller]

Yes, it's definitely Lola Montes

[Tribe]

Could this be a reference to any of Ophuls' American movies? Or have they just given up dropping hints...

[Murdoch]

Even I guessed this one right off the bat! Unless I'm wrong 8-[

[Saturnome]

Maybe there's some way to interpret this as a Complete Rivette boxset.

[swo17]

"Caged heat" presumably referring to the sexy forum battle that will ensue following the cover art announcement featuring an unconscious P.T. Anderson lying in a puddle of his own vomit (with the "wacky C" of course positioned to resemble a half digested croissant)

[alice_the_goon]

Could it be Max Ophuls' film 'Caught'? Because I'd really like to see that one!

Could it be "Caught"?

I don't remember any birds in that one, but I've also done my best to erase all memory of that horrid film from my mind
