Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7

[dwk]

Some new additions to the Channel that open with the Criterion and Janus logos:
Carita de dielo (1947)
Aventurera (1950)
Take Me in Your Arms (1954)
Pom Pom and Hot Hot (1997)(note Team Error 4444 have announced they are going to release this on Blu-ray.)
People's Hero (1987)

[The Elegant Dandy Fop]

More than Pom Pom and Hot Hot, which is fun, I’d love to see someone release the Pom Pom films with Richard Ng and John Shum.

I saw People’s Hero at the New Beverly a few years ago on 35mm. An interesting take on Dog Day Afternoon in which the bank robber himself is moralistic and is struggling to do how much he likes everyone. It’s no masterpiece, but it’s fun and features both Tony Leungs.

I've seen rumours going around the Criterion is working on a complete David Lynch boxset that will include everything he made, including shorts and TV shows. Does anyone know if there's any truth to these rumours?

The same forum members who revealed the upcoming Criterion Kubrick set in advance of its release have also teased a Luis Buñuel set. As they've already released five of Lynch's films individually in 4K, it's probably unlikely that they'll do his entire filmography.
