Looks like Exterminating Angel is on the way in Feb.!!

Looks like Antoine Doinel has a different interpretation.

My defense: "Discreet": reference to Discreet Charm.
sleeping bag/clothes: they come for dinner, stay forever.

The pull quotes for each of the new titles is a bit much.....

I think you might be right cgray, especially with the bear and sheep announcing it!

Not to mention the sheep and bear.

Great news!

Definitely Exterminating Angel, and the best news I've heard in a long time. Which is sad, really.

If we also get Marienbad, definitely yes.

What is Criterion's obsession with people's "top tens"... do we really fucking care???

When they just list their top 10, I couldn't give a shit. When they write more about themselves than the movies, I think it can be pretty amusing.

Lighten up, it's just a newsletter feature. It's not like it's doing any harm.

Yeah, but a whole page of it? They could have devoted some more info on the films, etc... like they usually do.

Does anyone know who does those drawings for the announcements?

What newsletters have you been getting? They always contain info we already know.

Maybe, just maybe, that graphic means that two dinner-themed (heh) films will be coming in February. Exterminating Angel and My Dinner with Andre in one the same month would be pretty awesome.

That would be amazing. However, if they were trying to be cunning in giving away hints for Andre, they probably would've done something along the lines of burying someone? Who knows.

As much as I'd like it to be for My Dinner With Andre, it is very obviously for the Exterminating Angel

Ok more Bunuel is coming, but maybe Savage Innocents too? Or am I reading too much into it?

I may have missed something but where did the Marienbad speculation come from? Though I have to agree if we get Exterminating Angel and Marienbad that would be quite a year. I just hope they don't come too close together my pockets won't be able to take it.

It's listed as a certainty here. The general vibe I've been getting from the forum is that it could come any month now, but that it's been like that for a while.
