For the Buñuel title I’m gonna make the wildest guess possible, DG for Death in the Garden packaged with Las Hurdes since it’s a bolded as a box set.

Already released by MoC and Kino (and not really worth another release)

I’ve been drawing a blank on SMPO as any sort of acronym. I’m wondering if the answer is just right there in front of us and it is Sampo (1959)?

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
Radiance don’t strike me as wanting to waste much of their capacity on titles that have already been well served, considering they trumpet their “Blu-ray firsts” very proudly. I’d be somewhat surprised if they spent time bringing that back again.

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
What if there is no actual hint on this year’s spreadsheet of clues for Buñuel, it’s insane I know but hypothetically, because Fran already announced the Buñuel for 2023 maybe he didn’t want to put it on it again since he knows that people already know they’ll have a Buñuel pop up somewhere in their lineup. Again a wild theory and one that’s most likely not true but if it was a Buñuel, then why wouldn’t they had either put BUN again on the clues sheet again or you know, have any of the hints work with a single Buñuel title.

Death in the Garden? Still available in their store (for $9.99 too).

The reason it’s $9.99 is because it’s at a Clearance Price before it becomes OOP.

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
Maybe it is one of those infamous Criterion double clues? I kid, but TL is apparently not the film announced last month and there will be another TL, according to the other forum.
In this case, I think the Truffaut allusion is too neat to be anything apart from one of his films, especially as the clue evokes the title of a film they have already released.

Those seventies and eighties Sautet dramas are StudioCanal properties, and they don’t typically license out physical home media rights to European boutiques.Stefan Andersson wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 4:36 pmThis might be of interest to Radiance:
Tamasa Films in France have Chabrol´s Les Bonnes Femmes, Nelly Kaplan´s La Fiancee du Pirate and three other films starring Bernadette Lafont. The online trailer clips look restored, with a bit of Hiventy/Eclair turquoise/yellow:

Tamasa also has 11 Carlos Saura films ("The Rebel Years 1966-1980) on release:

On the World Noir front, there is L´Arme à gauche (Sautet/Ventura):

These re-releases imply new or newish restorations, and perhaps available rights.
I quite like Sautet´s later dramas, such as Vincent, Paul, Francois et les autres... (starring Montand and Reggiani) and the series with Romy Schneider. These are finely written and acted, but perhaps do not fit in Radiance´s programming. What label might be a good home for these films, and films like them, such as Pierre Granier-Deferre´s and Tavernier´s Simenon adaptations (Le Train, L´Etoile du Nord, Le Chat, L´Horloger de St Paul)? Just a spontaneous reflection.

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
Radiance is having a site sale right now - and some partner label releases are part of it.
Curious to get impressions on any of the Raro Video/Mawu films (i.e.Gang War in Milan, Night of the Devils, and Man Marked for Death, 20 Years Later). I can personally recommend Arrebato

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
Updated the master teasers list. Tchao Pantin appears to be unteased.
Another Truffaut makes me think SOA is increasingly The Story of Adele H..

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
Yes, I'd be surprised if SOA isn't exactly that. In fact, when it was revealed two French titles were being announced today, I thought we'd get two Truffauts in one month, so the Berri was a surprise.TMDaines wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 6:50 amUpdated the master teasers list.

I wonder if the Berri is the start of a Pathé deal, in which case I would hope for some Carné (finally a definitive release of Les enfants du paradis?) and maybe even some British (Hunger, Ratcatcher, The Wind That Shakes the Barley) and Spanish (All About My Mother, Tie Me Up Tie Me Down) films...
Btw, I think the two Petri films are quite likely to be A Quiet Place in the Country and We Still Kill the Old Way as they're both available from MGM via Park Circus (and might be part of this same deal with the Truffaut, Ashby etc). I also hope we'll be getting more Fun City titles here as part of this deal, as there were several from MGM they did that I'd like to see ported over here (Born to Kill, Rancho Deluxe, Smile, Heartbreakers, The Coca Cola Kid, Alphabet City; maybe Breathless too if Second Sight don't still have the rights).
Also, I've got JCB down as Fukasaku's Japan [Organised] Crime Boss, and SM as Symbol of a Man (series of Nikkatsu films). Let's wait and see if either of those appear...I notice you have RB as Bresson too, I'm very hopeful for at least one of his from Radiance (I'm guessing either Lancelot du Lac or The Devil, Probably).
Lastly, I've pointed out elsewhere that PDC and MH could be for Puzzle of a Downfall Child and Melvin & Howard, respectively, which would open things up for a Universal deal. Of their library, I'd expect to see things like Taking Off and Minnie & Moskowitz, assuming materials are up to scratch, but I'd also love to see at least one Coen Brothers (namely The Hudsucker Proxy, which would be a UK Blu-ray premiere). I know Fran is a fan of the brothers, so fingers crossed...
PPS: The teaser in this month's newsletter is 'Next month the Panic is on!', so that's Panic in Year Zero pretty much confirmed.

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
I haven't the slightest clue as to whether it would be feasible rights-wise, but Ana Urushadze's Scary Mother feels like a good fit for Radiance. It's delightfully odd, darkly funny, and features an extraordinary performance by Nato Murvanidze. I can't wait to see what Urushadze does next. This film, her debut, came out in 2017 and I haven't seen any indication of a disc release anywhere.
(I was looking into who distributed the film and came across this Facebook post from 2018 where it appears Artizm was severing ties with Alief who at one point at least was handling worldwide sales.)

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
Adele H was mostly filmed here in Guernsey, screenings would usually sell out whenever there was a public screening. Many locals were extras and some are still alive. The bank in the film is actually the local library, where Mrs Amicus now works.
I believe most of the cast and crew stayed at the same hotel, one of the best on the island. Truffaut ran a film night on, iirc, Friday nights in one of the rooms.

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
rapta, there was no need to quote me directly since my post was right above yours. That's not the sort of thing I need to be getting notifications for.
Seems like I'm the only one excited for more Tai Kato. Maybe everyone else feels the Japanese genre titles are overlapping too much with each other in terms of genre and styles? I think it's great that Fran was following Tom Mes's recommendations of The Sting of Death, The Shape of Night and A Story Written With Water as there is a market for those relationship dramas too but those three are not for me. Life has been rough the last few years and I want more escapism from my movies nowadays, and Radiance's genre selections make me a very happy man. They're literally the only label I'm buying from on an almost monthly basis.

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
Sorry, Finch. Old habit from another forum...
FWIW, I'm grateful for all these Japanese announcements, but the Kato and genre stuff is certainly more appealing. The Bounty Hunter set looks especially fun, as does Shinobi and Black Tight Killers. Maybe I'll have a little session of a few of these one of these days (nearly watched BTK the other night but opted for Eureka's The Swordsman of all Swordsmen instead).
