Do the Irish pronounce it "Fard"?

Totally captures the Fardian grandeur and scope

this is an outrage

Fard's 2008 Stagecoach features really nice out of focus photography, I love these blurred desert valley shots. purple deserts.

Oh wow, that Hunger cover is gorgeous! I can't wait for that one!

Posted: **Sat Aug 29, 2009 5:34 am**

They should use that template for the 25 disc Kurosawa disc set coming up - imagine them all spread out on your floor.

Posted: **Sat Aug 29, 2009 5:35 am**

I can't believe they can get away with showing that on the Antichrist cover, just by blurring it out a little.

Posted: **Sat Aug 29, 2009 6:01 am**

Never before has the Wacky C been more in the way of the general composition of the cover

Posted: **Sat Aug 29, 2009 10:53 am**

Stagecoach and Antichrist look great -- they really blew it with Hunger, though.

Y'all seriously crack me up. =D>

Just annoyed they misspelled Jhonne Farjde. I know the 'j' is silent but jeez.

I wonder if these titles (Like Che since it's a company working with them) will have the clear cases for the blu-rays or pull a C.C. of B.B. and use the blu cases!?!

Though since IFC hasn't released a Blu yet, it will most likely be clear cases.

Matt, I'm not sure if I'm reading you correctly. But since you and I are some of, if not the only, the biggest fans of A Christmas Tale, do you like the cover? I do like it. It could have been worse - a Hallmark shot of the family get together, around the table or something of that sort.

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2009 2:08 pm**

I'm not Matt, but I think the fact that he took twenty minutes to make, pun intended, mock covers of other IFC titles using the same ridiculous template answers your question

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2009 2:14 pm**

Or maybe Matt is making fun of those of you complaining about the cover.

What is so wrong with the out of focus Christmas lights? The family is out of focus as well. Perhaps the design is lazy but I do not like any of the posters of the film. What other options?

That's a good question. Let's let Matt answer:

Matt wrote:Out-of-focus Christmas lights? For real? Why not just some Santa Claus and Rudolph clip art, with the letters striped like candy canes? At least they've seemed to move up from J.C. Penney Christmas catalog cover to Neiman-Marcus Christmas catalog cover.

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2009 2:48 pm**

I take Neiman-Marcus as a good thing - the most expensive department store at my local mall.

Oh I didn't see that one. Thanks for investigating, domino. What could make the perfect cover for A Christmas Tale? I wanna know.

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2009 4:11 pm**

Here is what we have in France :

The FNAC stuff is a removable sticker above the blister.

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2009 4:20 pm**

That font makes it look like it's a gritty murder-mystery.

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2009 5:19 pm**

A 112 page booklet?

Clearly Criterion should have gone with the original poster art, so that modern audiences can appreciate how the film was marketed back in 2008.

Yes. Part of it are interviews and analysis, part of it is a complete analysis of the editing of some specific scenes.
Plus, we already have everything that will be on the Criterion (except their booklet), and we have it since a year ago.
So basically, it's not a Criterion I will buy. At all. Like Gomorrah.
