One of my favorite films. I never bought the Eureka blu though I often came close, thrilled to see a (hopefully) better version show up

it's insane how long they've had the rights to this movie, but it's good they've waited for a new restoration. hopefully this leads to more of Kurosawa's films getting releases (especially with Tokyo Sonata OOP from MoC)

I hope Charisma is not too far behind.

Chess of the Wind is getting a theatrical release at Film Forum on October 29.

No doubt the cover for the bluray. I wouldn't be surprised if this was also released on UHD. Trailer looks great.

I would say there’s plenty of doubt because they often don’t use their posters for blu-Ray artwork at all.

Criterion really can't lose if they just use the theatrical poster for the cover art



But they will probably just take their wacky C and blow it up to be the only thing on the cover while the trademark top left small C will have U R E vertically lined beneath it.

Janus and Alamo Drafthouse are partnering together to show the new 4K restoration of the original Godzilla film.

have to assume this will get it's own release and won't be buried in a WCF box judging from the fanfare it's getting, no?

Janus is partnering with the Lincoln Center for a 6-Film Kinuyo Tanaka series, as well as a Márta Mészáros series (though they don't specify which or how many of her films are going to be shown).

The wording on the Lincoln Center site suggests that they will be at least showing the the "Diary" cycle. If that is correct, it would be wonderful news if Janus/Criterion picked up the rights for them.

Per the Janus website:
Adoption
Binding Sentiments
Diary for My Children
Diary for My Lovers
Diary for My Mother and Father
Don't Cry, Pretty Girls
The Girl
The Heiresses
Nine Months
The Two of Them

A good short overview of Kinuyo Tanaka’s acting and directing career, and the recent restoration and re-release of the six films she directed, in Hollywood Reporter.

Thank yous! Here is a link for anyone who wants to read descriptions of the films.

Maybe this has its own thread somewhere else but I think INLAND EMPIRE is a pretty big deal.

Page is up for Márta Mészáros' 'Riddance'. It hasn't been added to the Márta Mészáros series but I assume it will be updated soon.

Inland Empire and Mississippi Masala will be beginning their runs April 8 and 15 respectively at the IFC Center in NYC.

Hopefully that means we can look forward to Criterion putting out Inland Empire this fall. If memory serves all of the previous Lynch films with the exception of one (Blue Velvet maybe?) have been released in October or November.

Janus just tweeted some images from Abbas Kiarostami's The Colors. Hopefully these shorts will show up in a box set or at least on the Channel soon.

Three Kinuyo Tanaka films now on the Janus site...
Forever a Woman
The Moon Has Risen
Love Under the Crucifix
