my next few months buying patterns partially depend on them!
Brilliant news about the Mizoguchi, Nick. Artificial Eye certainly didn't wow me with either of their barebones releases (The Life of O-Haru and The Lady of Musashino, from 2004), so it'll be nice to see MoC get a crack. While you'll face the same limitations with respect to less-than-ideal elements, MoC has shown a real dedication to providing context, scholarship, and added value that most of us treasure. Can't wait.peerpee wrote:However, I can say that Lanzmann and Mizoguchi will be entering the MoC Series in early 2007.
Maybe an interview/commentary with Paolo Cherchi Usai? He was curator at the Eastman House when Brooks lived in Rochester, and as I understand it he was something of a confidant to her. I think he's the head of the National Film Archive in Australia now, but he's still involved with Pordenone and other silent film related institutions.peerpee wrote:DAS TAGEBUCH EINER VERLORENEN [DIARY OF A LOST GIRL] (Pabst, 1929) is coming in early 2007.

Perhaps a clue as to the 5+4 Mizoguchi films we all want to see arrive:Myra Breckinridge wrote:Do I get a prize for guessing the Mizoguchis?
Richard Leacock's documentary interview with Brooks, Lulu in Berlin, would be a great addition to this release.DAS TAGEBUCH EINER VERLORENEN [DIARY OF A LOST GIRL] (Pabst, 1929) is coming in early 2007. If anyone has any wishes for extras, please let us know.
Since the Wikipedia page in question has been contested (for what reason?) and may be deleted soon, here is what it says:
Masters of Cinema ( www.mastersofcinema.org ) is an organic initiative, founded in 2001. The members of MoC are spread around the world (Canada, USA, and the UK) and together they contribute to their popular website — a touchstone for the worldwide cinephile community containing The News Fountain, an international DVD release calendar, and director-related links.
In early 2004, Masters of Cinema began collaborating with Eureka Entertainment on the Masters of Cinema Series, a highly-respected UK-based boutique DVD label, influenced by New York's The Criterion Collection.

Generally, one can walk one's way back through changes made to an entry, step by step. I guess if something is actually totally deleted due to legal issues, this might not work.peerpee wrote:If any of you are Wikipedia-experienced, and can help to save that page, we'd be most grateful.
If this exists then why would they contest the MoC page?peerpee wrote:If any of you are Wikipedia-experienced, and can help to save that page, we'd be most grateful.
Silence / Chinmoku, based on the Endo book. Maybe a Scorsese tie-in, if he ever gets around to making it...Cold Bishop wrote:Silence they say??? That is one Shinoda I am not familiar with...
