Excellent cover-poster. The predominantly red color scheme drives home one of the reasons the MoC catalogue is so classy: chiefly it's varied color spectrum across the board, making for an eclectic representation of the different kinds of cinema on board.

Only thing that's bugging me is...
What's he's holding in his hand has to be the knife he hurls at his "brother".
Except. That doesn't look like no knife, does it? More like a stick or something.

It'll make sense when you see the film (it's a bolt, or rivet, from a railway track), and it's not his 'brother' - it's the same boy (again).



This film is one our personal faves in the Series here at MoC Mansions.

Nick, why is there a hyphen in the title (in both languages)? It doesn't appear on the original poster:

I'm so excited to finally get to see this and the artwork is like the food at Comerc 24 in Barcelona - perfect!

Sure that isn't a bit of chorizo he's clutching?

The film is the heartwarming story of two brothers and their dog, who is just off-screen of the cover. Fun for the whole family!

It's hyphenated on the film's original titlecard.

The same boy again. That really makes it an even better poster than what my original interpretation made of it. It's been a long time since I saw it, I'll be extremely glad to buy it and revisit. Maybe even make it a double feature with Kes. I really appreciate your guys making that possible.

That Police cover ain't nothing to sniff at either. Reminds me of BBC crime dramas like Prime Suspect. Which is very funny when you take into account the second half of the movie.

"Kino wants to be MoC"

Good DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER artwork except for the placement of the title: It's a nice shot of Walter Huston and I like the font but I would align the title more to the right and move it further down (like Criterion have done on their cover).

Here's a version that is visible

Just wanted to share the new artwork for the Bluray line and inform everyone that the Bluray line has seperate spine numbers... Feel free to deleted if this has already been posted!

#2? Surely not holding out the #1 spot for Metropolis!

Nice covers! Wondering about what the #1 blu-ray gonna be...

Not Metropolis, no.

Nibelungen!

4 Devils! I believe someone on this forum found the lost copy

that would be something

I`m guessing Murnau`s Sunrise: A Song Of Two humans

Was having a look at the Mad Detective blu ray today and thought that its a lucky thing it only
had a 16 page booklet, as the standard blu-ray case seems like it wouldn't hold much more.

I hope this doesn't mean we'll be seeing smaller booklets/books in future! I notice the BFI Salo has
the blu ray and a book slipped into a larger card case, maybe thats the way to go?

Or we can just pray that whatever ruling says producers have to use the horrific blue cases which
minimise the artwork with the big logo gets overruled in future...

anyway just some random musings.

Kokoro (1955) and Alone Across the Pacific (1963), interesting choices (were they mentioned in the speculations?). Haven't seen the former, the latter has yet another solid score by Toru Takemitsu. Hoping that #68 will be Ten Dark Women (1961).

Still hoping for "Enjo" instead.

I am excited to get the chance to see "Kokoro", but, I too, was hoping for "Enjo" or maybe "Kagi". I am certainly not complaining though.
