Does this Criterion will redo their whole set or should I just jump on this (as someone who loves these films)?

[Finch]

Personally, I'd wait until reviews are out for the SC set.

I assume Criterion will do a UHD set, eventually. I do have a question, wasn't Parade either shot or finished on tape?

I assume Criterion will do a UHD set, eventually.

I, personally, would not assume that. Or I would assume the word "eventually" means "several years from now." If someone who loves these films already has the Criterion set, I see no reason (other than shelf space) not to keep it for any exclusive extras and get the SC set for the new masters—if they indeed look markedly superior to the Criterion BDs.

[Finch]

Also they already released Playtime on its own. That doesn't preclude it being included in a future set but it does make me wonder if they go with individuals for the other films too? And what would they include the shorts with?

[TMDaines]

Would be curious to know what versions are included here. Still have some reason to regret cashing in on my BFI Blu-rays, I think.
