Criterion Discussion and Random Speculation Volume 7

I could see them continuing the release of Akerman's works through the Eclipse line

There are also a ton of Claire Denis films that would work better in Eclipse than as stand-alones. She’s been pretty prolific.

The first three films of Celine Sciama is an Eclipse set I could see happening.

I was hoping for mainstream release, esp. for Tomboy.

Chocolat should be mainstream release. TV series would make great Eclipse sets & Tous les garçons would be a great candidate.

I totally picture Criterion releasing all three but they're too big for Eclipse, IMO.

I have "La Naissance des Pieuvres" (stunning picture quality) which I have bought in Germany (this is a great Céline Sciamma box set);
Criterion has some excerpts of "La Naissance des Pieuvres" in the bons of "Portrait de la jeune fille en feu" so I guess it's just a matter of time.
Too bad they choose "Petite Maman" instead of this one.

Adèle Hanael (Adèle I miss you ; I would like to see you back in cinéma; I remember how I was when I saw you in "Les Combattants"); also appear on a short-movie on a Kino Blu-Ray US with the great movie "Mes Provinciales" by Jean-Paul Civeyrac (a great movie, poetic, about cinéma school, reminiscent of "l'homme qui aimait les femmes", with some lyrics and dialogues close to La Maman et la Putain; totally underrated movie and stunning black & white photography). In the short movie, Adèle character meets someone like a french "Dawson" (by Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet aka deux de tension) she is about to going to see a Milos Forman's movie; and they start a discussion about cinéma (the "Dawson" character is more into David Fincher, etc...). I wish I'd know if Adèle's put his ideas into the scenario of this short movie.

Is there a chance Criterion can get the rights of "Ten" (aka "Elle" in France) (1979) by Black Edwards with Duddley Moore, Julie Andrews and... Bo Derek - I love so much Duddley Moore in this movie, and Henry Mancini piano. His quote about the Beatles. The Bolero (even conducted by Frank Zappa in Barcelona in concert in 1988)... the blu-ray is poor in terms of quality. I dream of a 4K transfer.
