I'm really glad that they've cleared all this up well in advance of the releases. There was no way I was going to buy stripped down versions of both separately, but I absolutely would buy them with the appropriate contextual materials, etc. They are certainly doing the right thing in essentially telling us that the April releases are for the kids and that we should wait.

Let the speculations begin!And now I have to book a flight to Copenhagen, where I’ll be returning to the primary pleasures of being a Criterion DVD producer: working with cinema scholars and sifting elbow-deep through film archives.

Our own justeleblanc reported on his blog a couple of weeks ago that Criterion was beginning work on Vampyr, and that they would be doing their own restoration from scratch.miless wrote:Copenhagen archives... this has to be Phantom Carriage. Vampyr is another possibility (to get other language cuts of the film, perhaps) but the restoration for that film was done in Italy, I believe.

I am mistaken. god-damned Scandinavia (it must be noted that I am mistaken in my Phantom Carriage knowledge, of which I have none, as I am well aware of the location of Copehagen, having visited the 'lovely' 'town').domino harvey wrote:the Phantom Carriage is Swedish though, Copenhagen is in Denmark.

FWIW, the first and (so far) only time I visited Copenhagen, I flew into the airport and promptly got on board the wrong train and the next stop was in Sweden! So Copenhagen is a lot closer to Sweden than it is to much of the rest of its own nation.miless wrote:I am mistaken. god-damned Scandinavia (it must be noted that I am mistaken in my Phantom Carriage knowledge, of which I have none, as I am well aware of the location of Copehagen, having visited the 'lovely' 'town').domino harvey wrote:the Phantom Carriage is Swedish though, Copenhagen is in Denmark.
