I like how it's credited to "Bigas Luna and Bigas Luna" like he's starring in a remake of The Parent Trap.

Never expected them to go all in on K. Kurosawa like this. Wish they (or someone) could liberate Bright Future and Doppelgänger from whatever rights situation they're in. They've both been on the Channel.

This will open at Lincoln Center and IFC in NYC in August, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa will be doing Q&A's at both locations.

Third. La dolce vita (Paramount in the US) and 2046 (Sony in the US)

Do they still own distribution rights in the US or are they with Janus now fully?

Pretty sure both are still with their respective studios.

[The Fanciful Norwegian]

Paramount owns the U.S. and Canadian rights to La dolce vita outright per a 2013 court ruling. Sony is still listed as the distributor for 2046 on digital storefronts like YouTube and Prime Video, though it's not on their site for repertory bookings. I assume their rights will expire someday and Janus will probably pick them up. (Sony's website for the film is also still up, but it's completely unusable on a typical modern browser because it was built in Flash.)

I do hope Criterion does more than a bare bones edition.
