If we're talking in the realm of pure speculation, it would be terrific - New Yorker could be the new HVE in terms of releasing titles that aren't going to get the Criterion treatment or don't fit into an Eclipse series.
Any reviews for The Freethinker yet? As far as I can tell it's still set for release next week.
any news on moses und aron? supposed to be out this month...
It's now listed as discontinued by DVD Empire. I've written to them three times without any response. It's possible that they postponed the release because another company was releasing an unrelated DVD of a performance of Schoenberg's opera on the same day and they were concerned about confusion from retailers (Amazon was getting this confused, listing Jean-Marie Straub as the director of the opera for a while). New Yorker's complete lack of customer service is consistently baffling, but hopefully this will come out in the fall.

Be sure to add CELINE AND JULIE to that list.
I don't think that the Rivette ever had an officially announced release date like those two titles did, excepting Rosenbaum's mentioning that it was in the works. Maybe I missed it.

In 2005 it was announced on their site, but then taken off.
Last I heard, New Yorker was still working on "Celine and Julie". It was my impression that this was something they really really want to get right -- in terms of transfer and extras.
Michael, I hope you're right! It's getting to the point where I'm about to buy the BFI edition. I need this film in R1! Besides, after Celine et Julie I can start obsessing over Mother and the Whore again. You'd think that New Yorker would treat all of their releases (ahem, Bresson and Godard in particular) with such care. What's happening with them? I want my Rivette. I'm on the boat now to get Janus to buy New Yorker.
Can anyone confirm whether or not New Yorker Films owns the home video rights to these titles:
Resnais, Je t'aime, Je t'aime
Godard, Sauve qui peut (la vie)
Godard/Pennebaker, One P.M.
Rohmer, Rendezvous in Paris
Rohmer, Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle
Rohmer, A Tale of Winter
various, Loin du Vietnam
And does anyone know if these now OOP DVDs are still owned by NYF?

In terms of this being something they really really want to get right, do you remember where you heard that?

They told me the same thing in one of the reply emails they sent me. I have emailed them five or six times over the last two years. I always received a response when I emailed them about Celine and Julie, but they have never answered my Bressonian inquires.
