Cinema Guild

Nice to see that the BD releases are increasing again. Hopefully they'll do The Friends, too.

Missed my chance to see By the Stream at HFA -- it was shown at odd time and I forgot all about it. I could kick myself.

In Our Day is pretty unique for Hong -- somber, yet not without a sort of sense of joy. Very touching.

Saw a few of these restorations at UCLA and they look great. Very excited for these and if they release the shorts, I hope they include the photo from the French DVD.

This is quite a wild read!

Most titles are 50% off on their website right now.

I wonder if I should just get the Swiss (?) BluRay of Somai's Moving -- assuming I can still find it. I would rather get a UHD version from Cinema Guild -- but it is looking increasingly unlikely, isn't it?

Couldn't find an actual article about it so a twitter link will have to do

These are tremendous films. Don't pass up an opportunity to see them if they are showing near you. I can only hope that we see these on discs one day.

Anyone else's copy of A Traveler's Needs come with the reverse artwork for In Our Day ?

Not a problem, just wondering.

[Omensetter]

Mine is due to arrive today, so I'll check. I wouldn't be surprised if it has the same artwork, and I don't blame CG for not doing a reprint; I'm just grateful that CG is still releasing blu-rays. I also wouldn't blame CG if they release two Hongs on the same disc for economic reasons. I would be completely fine if they did that for By the Stream and What Does that Nature Say to You even if it only makes sense for economic reasons.

EDIT: My copy arrived minutes after my initial post. It does indeed have the reverse In Our Day cover.

[goblinfootballs]

My best guesses are they printed too many reverses for In Our Day or forgot to not print a reverse for A Traveller's Needs. I did verify the correct film was on the disc and not, say, Road House.

June release is a Blu-ray double bill of Here (2023) and Ghost Tropic (2019).

[Omensetter]

I feel like that's been pushed back several times as I preordered the same time as the two Hongs. Regardless, I'm just grateful that Cinema Guild is still releasing blus, and I do hope they move to Somai for their next round. I don't think they'll ever catch up with Hong so long as he's making movies.
