Are there rumors that Bertolucci’s epic ‘1900’ could be going to Criterion as a 4K?

There was an Olive blu ray a few years ago.

Suzanne Lloyd recently posted on facebook that this is coming sometime in the spring
She's been talking about it for a while. I'll keep guessing until it finally happens.

Lincoln Center screened the new 4k restoration last June.
Olive went out of business in 2023.

I would love for Criterion to release 'Novecento' in their collection, but I imagine there isn't much internal consensus about putting out Bertolucci's work now that he's semi-canceled over the whole 'Last Tango in Paris' controversy. Incredibly, he only has two films in the collection after all these years!

I wouldn't be surprised if Vinegar Syndrome ends up doing 1900 considering they released Last Tango In Paris.

The problem with The Last Tango In Paris stems from the content of the film too. All of this was known when Criterion upgraded The Last Emperor. The restoration screening was very popular (sold out with standby line), given the historical import of the film & the people involved in the film (besides just Bertolucci), Criterion would be foolish not to release it.

Rashomon 4K
American Splendor
Raising Arizona
The Ipcress File
