Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7

[Mr.DarjeelingLimited]

If it didn’t seem so with the Mike Mills box set, it definitely seems now that they have access to whatever Lionsgate-owned A24 movies they’re passionate about/have a preexisting relationship with the director of. It’d be real easy for them to 100% the Sofia Coppola filmography now.

I really do hope Beau is Afraid is in the works.

This, After Yang, and Problemista are my biggest wants from this partnership.

[HardNight'sDay]

I also want to see Good Time in the collection, but I'm not sure if it's going to happen given the behind the scene controversy.

[guyetgenevieve]

If Criterion is doing more A24, The Florida Project seems like a lock given their good relationship with Baker

[Mr.DarjeelingLimited]

Any shot that we see the new FHF restoration of Pakeezah alongside Sholay, the Bimal Roy restorations, and Mother India? It seems like kind of a no brainer release to me.

The Shemaroo/Neomark release is terrible.

[FrauBlucher]

My A24 picks for CC are Enemy, The Witch (although unlikely) and First Reformed

Back in the day of phantom pages there was one for Denis Villeneuve

[beamish14]

Spring Breakers would probably be on their want-list (although I wish they were working on Julian Donkey-Boy)

Sally Potter’s Ginger and Rosa would be nice. I’m surprised they’ve never handled The Tango Lesson or Yes

[Finch]

My A24 pick would be Good Time.

[crimlaw]

We definely need more Sofia Coppola.

Waiting to finally retire my monthly Quaruntine Guessing Game request for ‘ Lost in Translation’’.

[crimlaw]

Definitely*

[therewillbeblus]

KLSC had the UHD rights to Lost in Translation but it never came to fruition. Is it possible that Criterion snagged them?

[Lowry_Sam]

Barry Jenkins states that Moonlight is coming to Criterion 4K on A24 Instagram reel about the 10th anniversary.

This is a pleasant surprise. I had hoped for a Criterion release of this, but when the UHD was released I assumed it would never happen (same for Brokeback Mountain, so maybe there's still hope for more Ang Lee in he collection?). Zone Of Interest & Stop Making Sense were the 2 A24 titles I was most expecting on Criterion & Precious was the title I was most anticipating from Lionsgate. Maybe still possibilities?
