Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol. 7

For what it's worth, the same photo was used for the 2022 re-release of the soundtrack by Richard Thompson.



Here's the original photo on Timothy Treadwell's Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/p/mob-RmC3zk/?hl=en

I actually kind of like the cover for The English Patient, though I don't enjoy the movie itself.

Agree with everyone on Grizzly Man, what on earth. If it's done to showcase a photo by Treadwell are we supposed to surmise he was a shitty photographer?

That's a blowup & there's better to chose from on Treadwell's Instagram page. I would embed 3 images, but I can't figure out how to share just the image without requiring you to use Instagram.

There’s so many great shots of the bears taken by Treadwell that could’ve been used here.

Came across this on IG, and thought it was pretty neat: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdTiLeuA ... JrdGN4d3Ew

I mean, sure, but considering that they've now been leading with this one on multiple Grizzly Man-related releases, one has to assume it's the one that Herzog specifically wants.

How do you the outer plastic wrap off that’s stuck to the spine? I really hate this. Do they use a glue or does the plastic chemically react to the case?

[Matt]

It's usually just the glue. You can try heating it gently with a hair dryer and scraping it off with your fingernail.

Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp look so young.

I can't wait to read the Amazon reviewer who complains this wasn't the "real" Chocolat movie they were looking for.

I can't wait to read the Amazon reviewer who complains this wasn't the "real" Chocolat movie they were looking for.

I had a conversation a few years ago where I was recommending the Claire Denis film and the person ended up watching the unrelated 2016 film.

[Lowry_Sam]

Interesting that the image from Chocolat is big & detailed, but it's blu-ray only, while the image from Deliverance is small & low quality but it's coming out on UHD.

[Rupert Pupkin]

It's strange that "Chocolat" does not have a UHD release.
I have seen the restored copy and even though you can sometimes notice 2 different sources, the color grading looks just fine to me without the greenish-blueish-yellowish "trademark" of some restorations, with some film grain texture.
