Wow, two great films- keep the Hong coming! Virgin Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors in particular is a masterpiece.

Happy early delivery of Hill of Freedom/Woman on the Beach!

Same here, got the shipping notice this morning and a delivered confirmation a few hours later

[Michael Kerpan]

I just got my copy of the new Hong Blu-Ray. It turns out that you get to pick whether it is Woman on the Beach with Hill of Freedom as an extra or vice versa. (Reversible cover and Blu-Ray label printed with different orientation for each film). I'm going with the WotB option.

Mouth of the Wolf and Lost and Beautiful being released as a double feature in March, on Blu-ray and DVD. Lost and Beautiful was an early streaming-only title, so hopefully some of the others (Academy of Muses, He Fengming, Mimosas or, dare I dream it, From What Is Before) will also get physical releases.

Academy of Muses needs to happen!!! I don't even care if they just do a DVD.

Glad I'm not the only one clamoring for this

Oh yeah I've just never chimed in. In the City of Sylvia got a DVD release from Cinema Guild so why not. I've been poking them on Twitter for La Flor and Straub/Huillet every so often so i'll add this. It seems to be working at times.

Francisca will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on April 6. Hopefully the other two Portuguese classics they recently restored will follow soon.

[What A Disgrace]

They also confirmed on Facebook that The Green Years and Change of Life will be released on DVD and Blu-ray later this year.

Francisca will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on April 6. Hopefully the other two Portuguese classics they recently restored will follow soon.

Only $22.99 at Amazon and ”#1 New Release” in Foreign Films.

Special features:

• New 4K digital restoration by the Cinemateca Portuguesa
• Video introduction by critic and programmer Jordan Cronk
• Theatrical Trailer

[therewillbeblus]

Shame about the lack of features, but thrilled it's finally dropped- hopefully it comes back in stock shortly. Thanks for the head's up!

[L.A.]

Amazon’s new price for Francisca is questionable. :-k

Indeed. Very much a mistake. Working to correct.

The Green Years+Change of Life, Sicilia! and Atlantis announced for Bluray in May, June, and July respectively.

[zedz]

I don't think this has been mentioned in the thread, but Bong Joon-Ho's great long short Influenza slipped out on DVD last year. Here.

They claim it's previously unreleased, but it was a Jeonju Digital Project film and was included on their superb box set about ten years ago. It's formally remarkable as a narrative film conveyed exclusively through security camera footage.

[therewillbeblus]

As someone who likes most Bong, I watched Influenza earlier this year and absolutely hated it. Think a shrewd, rather than comic, approach to callousness in a narrative strung together like Jackass. I can’t believe it’s being sold with a couple interviews for $20 on DVD. I might be the outlier here, but it’s def not a safe blind buy.

[knives]

I agree with Zedz on its quality, but also agree that that disc is highway robbery. It’s a good short, not Night and Fog!

[What A Disgrace]

Grasshopper Film's Facebook have been plugging Where Dos Your Hidden Smile Lie? a lot, hopefully it will be included as a supplement on Sicilia!.

[What A Disgrace]

Amazon.com confirms that Hidden Smile will be included on the disc.

[What A Disgrace]

It seems that The Green Years and Change of Life are DVD only, now.

[The Fanciful Norwegian]

This doesn't seem to have been formally announced anywhere, but Sono's Red Post on Escher Street also looks to be getting a DVD-only release on August 24th.

[What A Disgrace]

Second Run will probably be releasing both of the Rocha films on Blu-ray, so I'm not going to be too sad about Grasshopper bumping them down a format.
