Brendan Frye (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, The Lookout, Looper) is a high school loner, someone who knows all the angles but has chosen to stay on the outside. When the girl he loves turns up dead, he is determined to find the “who” and “why” and plunges into the dark and dangerous social strata of rich girl Laura (Nora Zehetner, Beneath), intimidating Tugger (Noah Fleiss, Joe the King), drug-addled Dode (Noah Segan, Deadgirl), seductive Kara (Meagan Good, D.E.B.S.), and the ominous Pin (Lukas Haas, Witness). But who can he really trust? These are the ingredients of Brick, a gritty and provocative thriller co-starring Richard Roundtree (Shaft). Rian Johnson (Looper, Star Wars: The Last Jedi) wrote and directed this clever and twist-filled neo-noir that wowed audiences and critics alike.

When a mysterious pink letter informs Don Johnston (Murray) that he may have a 19-year-old son, he visits four former lovers, where he comes face to face with the errors of his past and the possibilities of the future. From acclaimed director Jim Jarmusch (Night on Earth) and co-starring Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct), Julie Delpy (Before Sunrise), Jessica Lange (Country), Tilda Swinton (Snowpiercer), and Jeffrey Wright (TV’s Westworld), Broken Flowers is a highly original comedy filled with wonderful mischief.

Comedic chaos ensues as Kelsey Grammer (TV’s Frasier and Cheers), Dennis Hopper (Speed), Paula Patton (2 Guns), Nathan Lane (The Birdcage), Stanley Tucci (Big Trouble), Judge Reinhold (Beverly Hills Cop), Willie Nelson (Thief), Mare Winningham (Miracle Mile) and George Lopez (Rio) give all-star support in a witty and uplifting film that’s charming, funny, smart, touching and profound.

I'll be curious to know whether Kino has plans to make any changes to the color timing.
What's this about? From the trailer the colors look historically accurate. Are they not?
In the filmmakers forum look at the Jacques Rivette thread. The latest 2-3 pages covers this issue. Without any attempt at some color correction, I would have to pass on this release. It's just too compromised.

• Theatrical Trailer

110 Min Color 1.85:1 Rated R
Legendary filmmaker Hal Ashby (Coming Home, 8 Million Ways to Die) makes his directing debut with this acclaimed social satire starring Beau Bridges (The Hotel New Hampshire) as a wealthy young man who leaves his family’s estate in Long Island to pursue love and happiness in a Brooklyn ghetto. When Elgar Enders (Bridges) buys a Park Slope tenement, he fully intends to evict the occupants and transform the building into a chic bachelor pad. But after meeting the tenants, Elgar adopts a “love thy neighbor” policy instead: first he falls head-over-heels for a sexy young go-go dancer… then he begins an affair with the sultry, married “Miss Sepia 1957.” Featuring brilliant performances by Lee Grant (The Balcony) in an Oscar-nominated role, Pearl Bailey (Porgy and Bess), Louis Gossett Jr. (The Laughing Policeman), Robert Klein (Hooper), Trish Van Devere (Where’s Poppa?), Hector Elizondo (The Flamingo Kid), Gloria Hendry (Black Belt Jones) and Susan Anspach (The Big Fix), and with a potent script by Bill Gunn (Ganja & Hess) based on the novel by Kristin Hunter (Boss Cat), The Landlord is one of the most original and provocative screen comedies to deal with race relations in urban America. Produced by Norman Jewison (The Thomas Crown Affair) and shot by Gordon Willis (The Godfather).

Robbery (1967) with optional English subtitles
• Audio Commentary by Film Critic Nick Pinkerton
• Theatrical Trailer

Color 110 Minutes 1.85:1 Not Rated
From Peter Yates, the legendary director of Bullitt, The Hot Rock and The Friends of Eddie Coyle – Inspired by true events, Robbery is an uncompromising portrayal of swinging London’s criminal underworld. Quintessentially British and with a documentary-style commitment towards accuracy, Robbery mixes meticulously constructed, high-octane action sequences (including one of the most nerve-shattering—and often replicated—car chases ever seen on film) with taut suspense and gritty realism, making it the groundbreaking template for future crime dramas such as The French Connection, The Long Good Friday and The Sweeney TV series and films. Starring Stanley Baker (Accident), Joanna Pettet (The Group), James Booth (Avenging Force), Frank Finlay (Shaft in Africa) and Barry Foster (Frenzy), Robbery is an entertaining and archetypal entry into the genre of British gangster movies.

Von Richthofen and Brown (1971) with optional English subtitles
• Chivalry in Warfare: Corman, Von Richthofen and Brown
• Theatrical Trailer

Color 97 Minutes 1.85:1 Rated PG-13
The sky’s the limit for adventure! Two of history’s most fabled flyboys square off in daring, acrobatic duels of death in Von Richthofen and Brown, a high-flying tale of famous battles and infamous daredevils. Baron Manfred von Richthofen (John Phillip Law, Death Rides a Horse), Germany’s legendary Red Baron, is an aristocratic knight of the skies. But his chivalrous sense of honor doesn’t mean he’s merciful—some eighty pilots have lost their lives to this steel-willed ace of aces. In contrast, Canadian wheat farmer Roy Brown (Don Stroud, Search and Destroy) couldn’t care less about honor. He lives, the enemy dies—in any way Brown can make it happen. So, when these two very different men go head-to-head in a winner-take-all showdown, it’s a swooping, bullet-filled confrontation that puts their skill—and their courage—to the ultimate test. The stellar cast includes Barry Primus (Avalanche), Corin Redgrave (When Eight Bells Toll), Hurd Hatfield (The Picture of Dorian Gray), Stephen McHattie (Jesse Stone: Stone Cold) and Ferdy Mayne (The Fearless Vampire Killers). Wonderfully shot by Michael Reed (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service), with a screenplay by Joyce Hooper Corrington (The Omega Man) and John William Corrington (Boxcar Bertha). Top-notch direction by legendary filmmaker Roger Corman (The Secret Invasion, Target: Harry, Tales of Terror).

That's unfortunate. The current UK BD uses a quite visibly dated master (which is certainly the only one available), which looks smooth and with ringing, so most likely both degrained AND sharpened. A new master would most certainly at least improve upon that.

Kino is now racking up a good number of Buñuel titles (including Death in the Garden and Los Olvidados) without a single physical release so far. As much as I want all of the SC titles to go back to Criterion, if KL is prepping a box set I’d be down for that.
