Criterion on Social Media

[DRW.mov]

I’m going to take Criterion posting on Instagram about the early career of Claire Denis to mean at least Chocolat is forthcoming, but hopefully a lot more of her early (and later) work too.

Or that they just announced her most recent film.

Criterion tweeted this photo asking folks to guess the film... no one on twitter seems to have guessed it. I can't place it.

Might help if they weren't all making joke guesses

Brand New Testament?

True Stories?

[cdnchris]

Yes, it's definitely True Stories

Thrilled to have a visit today from Mia Hansen-Løve



Probably just her swinging by while she's in the US, but I'd love a release of Father of My Children, which came from IFC on DVD, or Eden, which only had a US DVD by Broadgreen, whoever that is. This should be a good video, too, whenever it comes out. She was very articulate and amusing at the several in-person screenings I went to earlier this year.

Or maybe Criterion is working on some more Assayas

When was the last time they posted a picture of someone in the closet and actually followed up with a video of that visit?

Preparing a Do The Right Thing graffiti/photo shoot.

Do the Right Thing "coming this summer"

[zedz]

Let's hope it actually has summer colour timing!

[FrauBlucher]

Gilliam in the closet. I wish he could've stayed in there for a half hour at least.

[colinr0380]

I think he may also be the first person in the Closet who has noted different formats on camera, seeming to make sure to take the re-release Blu-ray edition of Rififi!

[tenia]

I'm quite sure the team checks afterwards with the visitors that they got the format they want, while not really caring during the video in order to keep things spontaneous and focused on the movies themselves.

From Janus Films' twitter:


I know he is most likely that he is just visiting, but it'd be nice if his work was made available in the US.

From Criterion's instagram

[Rayon Vert]

Performance (that was easy, just Google "Goodtimes Enterprises 1970")

[dwk]

Ah, it is. Likely just because it is streaming on the Criterion Channel until the end of the month.

The Criterion Twitter posted and quickly deleted this. Not sure about its relevance.

[dwk]

I think it is a shot from Betty Blue

[yoloswegmaster]

Nah, it's clearly a Tarantino film.

Miike cooking lunch at Criterion's office

[Big Ben]

Whatever would he be doing there I wonder?

[dwk]

Most likely nothing. Just another in a long line of filmmakers stopping by their office. But it could be a Criterion release of Black Rain or Rônin-gai (Criterion definitely has the rights to this.)
