Dear Zachary 10th Anniversary Blu-ray upgrade coming in December

[criterionsnob]

New 4K restoration of Tom Noonan's What Happened Was..., coming digitally January 29 from Oscilloscope. Hopefully a Blu-ray to follow.

I haven't seen this in at least 20 years, but the performances of both Noonan and Karen Sillas were very memorable.

That’s great news. Someone I used to know spoke really highly of Noonan’s ‘90’s films, but I could never find a way to see them. Hopefully it does get a physical release.

That is incredible. I saw a very rare 35mm screening of this with Noonan in person. He implored people in the audience to contact Criterion
about releasing it, as he owns it outright now (it was originally distributed by Samuel Goldwyn, which would have made it a Sony title). He
discussed how the making of it and utilizing facets of his relationship with his then-wife basically led to their divorce. An incredible work. You'll
never hear 'Til Tuesday's "Voices Carry" the same way again.

The sale was on only till midnight (EST) yesterday. I got the email notification in the evening and was able to place an order.

A few days ago MUBI dropped The Twentieth Century directed by Matthew Rankin. I thought I would give it a watch and was very impressed with the film. Guy Maddin is clearly a big influence on Rankin.

It started with the Oscilloscope Pictures logo and to my delight is available on Blu Ray. Certainly recommended to any fans of Maddin's work: https://store.oscilloscope.net/products ... 6683970658

Well, of course it did, a limited edition available only on their site which I have already ordered and received. About time after all these years.

Oscilloscope announced a 4k restoration and re-release of John Cameron Mitchell's Shortbus.

[Oscilloscope]

Hello everyone!

We are very excited to announce that Blu-ray and DVD digipaks for NO ORDINARY MAN and LES NÔTRES are now live for pre-order on the O-Scope store.

NO ORDINARY MAN (dir. Aisling Chin-Yee & Chase Joynt)


American jazz musician Billy Tipton developed a reputable touring and recording career in the mid-twentieth century, along with his band The Billy Tipton Trio. After his death in the late 80s, it was revealed that Tipton was assigned female at birth, and his life was swiftly reframed as the story of an ambitious woman passing as a man in pursuit of a music career. The genre-defying documentary NO ORDINARY MAN seeks to correct that misrepresentation by collaborating with trans artists. As they collectively celebrate Tipton’s story as a musician living his life according to his own terms, they paint a portrait of a trans culture icon.


LES NÔTRES (dir. Jeanne Leblanc)


To the tight-knit community of Sainte-Adeline, Quebec, Magalie appears as a normal suburban high school sophomore surrounded by friends. But this popular teenage girl is harboring a shocking secret: she’s pregnant. When Magalie refuses to identify the father, suspicions among the townsfolk come to a boiling point and the layers of a carefully maintained social varnish eventually crack.

The limited-edition digipaks for both films will ship out May 2022.

[Oscilloscope]

We've got another Blu-Ray on the way!

Blu-Ray and DVD digipaks for the documentary So Late So Soon (dir. Daniel Hymanson) are available now for pre-order and will also be shipping out May 2022.

So Late So Soon (dir. Daniel Hymanson)


Half a century into their marriage, Chicago artists Jackie and Don Seiden approach the fragility of their elderly lives in their own distinct ways. Jackie, notorious for her unbounded energy, is constantly on the move, inspired to create works of art while also maintaining the couple’s multistory, brightly-painted Victorian house. Don steadily sketches in his notebook while facing alarming interruptions to his health. Director Daniel Hymanson filmed the Seidens, on-and-off for five years, capturing the hardships of aging as well as a view into enduring companionship, in this charming character study.

[Oscilloscope]

Woohoo! DVD and Blu-Ray digipaks for the remastered version of the legendary SHORTBUS (2006) are available for pre-order!



John Cameron Mitchell’s SHORTBUS explores the lives of several emotionally challenged characters as they navigate the comic and tragic intersections between love and sex in and around a modern-day underground salon. A sex therapist who has never had an orgasm, a dominatrix who is unable to connect, a gay couple who are deciding whether to open up their relationship, and the people who weave in and out of their lives, all converge on a weekly gathering called Shortbus: a mad nexus of art, music, politics, and polysexual carnality.

Set in a post-9/11, Bush-exhausted New York City, SHORTBUS tells its story with sexual frankness, suggesting new ways to reconcile questions of the mind, pleasures of the flesh, and imperatives of the heart.

This completely passed me by, but back in 2019, Oscilloscope reissued Christopher Munch's The Hours and Times, which they also helped restore in conjunction with the Sundance Institute. (Both of them funded the restoration - UCLA Film Archive did the actual restoration work.)

I've heard about this years ago, shortly before I began exploring the Beatles' work, but I never saw it until now. The Blu-ray package is great, but I'm curious as to whether David Angus participated in any of the promotion? I can't find any interviews with him, and I'm not sure if he would've appeared at any screenings when this was reissued in theaters prior to the Blu-ray release. (FWIW Munch and Hart took part in the bonuses, which I haven't viewed yet.) Angus's performance is wonderful, really the best thing about the film - I wish more casting directors had picked up on it, but from what I can tell, his work has primarily been in theater and radio (possibly more of the latter) since the film was released.

[hearthesilence]

FWIW, that restoration of Christopher Munch's The Hours and Times is actually streaming on Kanopy.

I'm making a Letterboxd list of all Oscilloscope releases, both on disc, and those released only theatrically and/or digitally. In trying to add the spine numbers to the disc releases, I've come upon a snag. I can not determine if there ever were a Spine #75, between GIRL ASLEEP (#74) and THE LOVE WITCH (#76). I'm also aware that there were eight films released without spine numbers from 2013 until 2017. They are: BUNOHAN, THE PAST IS A GROTESQUE ANIMAL, WHITEWASH, JINGLE BELL ROCKS, MAD AS HELL, ANIMALS, BUZZARD, and NIGHT SCHOOL. Could one of these have been assigned spine number 75? Thanks for any help you can provide. I will link the list here once it is complete. BTW, I have been in the Circle of Trust without a break since 2018.

Appreciate your support! Spine #75 is the documentary Los Sures.

Thanks!

I've been unable to confirm that this was released on DVD. The Oscilloscope website gives information on a theatrical and digital release, but not a physical one. There is no listing for a DVD release by Oscilloscope of LOS SURES on any database for which I have access. Do you have a source for this information? Thanks. BTW, the Films section of the Oscilloscope website has been down for at least three days now. Only the Store links work.
