I guess the real question is whether it'll be an Eclipse set or a full-fledged Criterion set in the vein of 4 by Agnes Varda or Six Moral Tales.

No way it's an Eclipse set. Ophuls isn't in the collection yet.mfunk9786 wrote:I guess the real question is whether it'll be an Eclipse set or a full-fledged Criterion set in the vein of 4 by Agnes Varda or Six Moral Tales.

I'm predicting a four-film set, lotsa special features, digipaks, and artwork similar to Fassbinder's BRD trilogy.
Also, which Ophuls film is the Eyes Wide Shut mask from?

An Ophuls Box set up to that standard would be an earth shattering event of happiness!justeleblanc wrote:I'm predicting a four-film set, lotsa special features, digipaks, and artwork similar to Fassbinder's BRD trilogy.
wished for set:
Earrings
Lola Montes
La Ronde

and I'd hardly consider that mask of the type seen in Eyes Wide Shut.

I originally just saw the mask and it reminded me of a picture of Rivette on the set of Out 1. But as soon as I saw "and not just earrings" I knew what it really was. Damn it, Ophuls.

PLease let it NOT have Lola Montes and pls let it have Liebelei instead as an extra to the expected trilogy. Liebelei is so fucking beautiful it hurts.

Are we allowed to discuss the contest here? Because if so, I've got two of the three mentioned in this month's contest. Just can't find the third...

I think it's a very flawed film. And there's been no dvd of Liebelei, acceptable or no.. a film which buries the misfired excesses of Lola.

The tidiest box would be the late French films - La Ronde through Lola - which would be pretty wonderful. Much as I'd love to see some of his MIA Hollywood work or even earlier stuff (Liebelei by all means), including them would turn this into a "some Ophuls titles we could get ahold of" box. Not that they haven't done this before!

Naw-- tidy as hell: "Ophuls-- the Masterworks."
then, on Eclipse
"Ophuls-- the Other Ones (including the color one we embarass Sarris with as much as possible)"

Agreed -- what a pretentious windbag. I read an interview with him a few months ago (I think it was linked on Jim Emerson's blog) and he showed the same inability to praise movies he liked without insulting others.Narshty wrote:This newsletter has the most embarrassing Top Ten comments yet.

Whatever your personal preference, Lola Montes is widely considered one of the most important and groundbreaking French films of the 50s (in 1964, a Cahiers poll named it the second best French film since the Liberation) and belongs in any Ophuls Masterworks box. Sarris certainly has no cause for embarrassment.

to be fair, didn't the Italian gov't reopen Paso's case because it is believed that the young prostitute was just a pawn in a neo-fascist assassination plot?
