Re: Criterion and StudioCanal
I recall KL Insider saying that the rights to the 2 Cocteau films belonged to Janus in perpetuity. I think you can also add Richard Lester's 'The Three Muskateers' and 'The Four Muskateers' to the list.

The Three Musketeers / The Four Musketeers UK Blu-ray released by Optimum in region-free format. I was planning to get it, but not sure now if there is a chance that Criterion might do one.

All I really want out of life is a CC upgrade of Le Trou. I'll buy every criterion employee a soda (of their choice) when that happens.

I'll trade you my Le Trou dvd for it.

KL Insider admits that they don't really know if Criterion got back 'Ran' and then says this:

He was going by memory, so he may have neglected some. I was bummed Last Holiday wasn't listed, but that may be with Film Movement.

El amor brujo
Blood Wedding
Carmen
Diary of a Chambermaid
Last Holiday
Mafioso

The DVD set has a copyright from Praesens-Film AG Zurich and no mention of Studio Canal.

Thanks. I sold my DVD copy in anticipation of a blu-ray release, that was about 3 years ago now, silly me.

Re: Criterion and StudioCanal
Glad to see Peeping Tom on that (hopefully accurate) list. That film needs to be done right in HD.
Fingers crossed they were also able to get RAN once more (assuming Palmer forgot some titles). edit: never mind, RAN was released through Lionsgate in the US so probably no.

Three cheers for Diary of a Country Priest, though I've been waiting for a decent restoration of The Trial on a shortlist of dream releases since I started collecting physical media, so that's the gold for me.

You'd think that, but That Obscure Object of Desire was released by Lionsgate yet is on that list, so who knows.

Re: Criterion and StudioCanal
So are all the Antoine Doinel films. Are we assuming someone else has the rights to them?HernandoBiggies wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 4:50 pmIt is also OOP on the Criterion site.
All four of Criterion's Pabst films are being offered theatrically by Kino, three of which Janus is still offering theatrically on it's website (Pandora's Box has never been on the Janus site). Until we hear something different, I would take the Kino theatrical listing and the oop status of Pandora's Box as mere coincidences.

Re: Criterion and StudioCanal
The Crime of Monsieur Lange - This never got a good home video release in the U.S., and normally I'd be ecstatic because it is one of Jean Renoir's masterpieces. However, as discussed earlier, the most recent restoration doesn't look so hot, at least when it was shown in theaters, and I'm guessing that's what's going to be on the BD.captveg wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 2:36 amA blu-ray.com forum member GetHarryPalmer stated tonight that these are the SC titles Criterion acquired (mostly re-acquired) in the latest deal:
Diary of a Country Priest - Been expecting this for a long time now. It would've been great to re-issue it with First Reformed in theaters, but that moment has long passed.
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie - The old StudioCanal BD (based off on an HD transfer from over a decade ago) is all right, but it wouldn't be difficult to do something better.
The Fallen idol - The StudioCanal UK BD looks great, and it came out five years ago - it's about time they put this out in the States.
Nights of Cabiria - This doesn't sound like the disastrous transfer I was fearing, which is great news.
Peeping Tom - Long overdue, the Film Foundation restored it a long time ago, but StudioCanal put out an atrocious release that looked like Vaseline from the excessive grain reduction. That was a decade ago though.
The Tales of Hoffman - The StudioCanal UK BD again looks great, yet another Film Foundation restoration, and once again, it's about time they put this out in the States.
That Obscure Object of Desire - The StudioCanal BD is mediocre. Not terrible, but the transfer looks its age and you can see something off with the grain reduction. A new transfer should easily look better.
Other favorites made it on that list, which I'm very thankful for, so there's a LOT to look forward to!
