This would indeed be awesome. What would awesome-r would be a set of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and The Young Girls of Rochefort ...or any Demy for that matter. Isn't Lola out of print now, btw?jaredsap wrote:THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT is a tantalizing possibility...Cinephrenic wrote:Now that several Miramax titles have been confirmed, I think it is proper to have a thread for this new relationship, and discussions on possible titles for release.

So presumably the Chasing Amy reissue is back on the release schedule.Cinephrenic wrote:Now that several Miramax titles have been confirmed, I think it is proper to have a thread for this new relationship, and discussions on possible titles for release.

PLEASE, Criterion, give me Sonatine!
And while you guys are at at, just go ahead and make it part of the Blu-ray release schedule. I know 4 people who would buy it immediately, and it's my second-favorite film of all time...I'd buy it on Blu-ray AND dvd.
An upgrade to the already-good-looking Miramax DVD would be nice, eliminating those nasty yellow subtitles would be great too. Adding supplements would make it perfect. I'd love to see what Criterion came up with for Cover art for that one too.

I wouldn't have guessed that you'd be a fan of The Beyond! Cool. Yes, a Criterion edition would be a real treat, though I don't care who reissues this mesmerizing film, just as long as it happens ASAP.Narshty wrote:It would be a great day if Criterion got hold of The Beyond, now the Anchor Bay edition (originally licensed from Miramax's Rolling Thunder imprint) has been OOP for so long.

I thought I heard that the Weinstein's picked up the rights to Battle Royale years ago when they were with Miramax?
If the rights are still with Disney/Miramax, it would be nice if Criterion would finally give that film a region 1 release.

Jersey Girl 3-disc edition?
Just give me Purple Noon on Blu-ray so I can put prime-era Delon on a loop. And I can't believe they'd pass on the opportunity to get Almodovar in the collection with Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! and High Heels. The first has been OOP in R1 for years and the second has never been released on DVD in R1.
Maybe they'll put out that director's cut of 54 that is supposed to be a revelation. Or at least Velvet Goldmine. Can't imagine they'd pass up the chance to release a Todd Haynes film.
But you just know they're dying to do Evita since they've already got that commentary by Alan Parker sitting in their vault. Oh yeah, and Shine.

I had asked "John Mulvaney" about Prospero's Books and the potential for other Greenaway films. He replied that The Cook, The Wife, The Thief, Her Lover is the only Greenaway title that they had, so that one's definitly not coming.
Soderberg is friendly with Criterion, so maybe Sex, Lies, and Videotape? It was a Criterion laserdisc.

I asked Mulvaney awhile back about Kafka and King of the Hill since neither have had a dvd release. No's on both. Kafka is listed as being theatrically distributed by Miramax and Paramount for home video at any rate.domino harvey wrote:Along those lines, isn't Kafka a Miramax release?
Since Bordwell's such a huge fan, why not obtain the rights and get him to do a commentary on Les Demoiselles de Rochefort?

Well. it might depend on who answered and how they did. Did they say no? Or did they say not currently on our production schedule?
I asked about Face to Face which is a Paramount title that I thought was already confirmed and got a "no plans at this time." So who knows?
I think Matt Lipson is the individual who is doing the Mulvaney responses now instead of Tamara based off my expiernce, so maybe he is approaching emails differently.

Good old Matt Lipson? Didn't someone find a Bar Mitzvah picture of him somewhere online and post it here?
And no doubt Tamara stopped responding after the sausage-fest response from this forum.
By the way, it was a "we have no plans at this time" response.
