Dear Sir,

The materials of the Mosfilm restorations were provided to Criterion Collection
in the frame of the licence granted to them for the films directed by Andrey Tarkovsky.

Best regards,

I was the one who wrote to Mosfilm & posted this to Bluray.com (and also earlier in this thread). If anyone's curious, I also wrote to Criterion around the same time ask if they planned to release the new masters on Blu-ray to which, as of yet, they haven't gotten back to me. While Stalker's appearance on FilmStruck makes me optimistic there have been times Criterion confirmed films outright and then didn't release them, so I'll believe when it's playing on my television.

(Note to Moderator: I understand this might appear as a duplicate post but I just wanted to fix the grammar and had to repost to do so. Sorry for the confusion!)

Curzon to receive 'outstanding' Bafta award

The Curzon near me is shit compared to alternatives, i.e. HOME.

The London cinemas are all becoming overpriced venues offering pretty middlebrow foreign and 'indie' American fare with artisan grub and craft beer. Cinema as an 'experience' not actually about good film.

Only BFI Southbank and especially Prince Charles offer some value anymore.

True. Admittedly I am a Curzon member, so get four free tickets a year, which pays for the membership.

Upcoming Blu-rays and DVDs:

The Salesman

Synopsis: Forced out of their apartment due to dangerous works on a neighbour's building, Emad (Shahab Hosseini) and Rana (Taraneh Alidoosti) move into a new flat in the centre of Tehran. An incident linked to the previous tenant will dramatically change the young couple's life. Starring Shahab Hosseini, Taraneh Alidoosti, Babak Karimi, and Mina Sadati.

STREET DATE: MAY 29.

Graduation

Synopsis: Internationally acclaimed director Cristian Mungiu returns with a powerful and universal study about the imprecision of parenthood, the relativity of truth and the ambiguity of compromise, revealed by a father-daughter relationship.

Romeo Aldea (49), a physician living in a small mountain town in Transylvania, has raised his daughter Eliza with the idea that once she turns 18, she will leave to study and live abroad. His plan is close to succeeding. Eliza has won a scholarship to study psychology in the UK. She just has to pass her final exams – a formality for such a good student.

On the day before her first written exam, Eliza is assaulted in an attack that could jeopardize her entire future. Now Romeo has to make a decision. There are ways of solving the situation, but none of them using the principles he, as a father, has taught his daughter. Starring Adrian Titieni, Maria-Victoria Dragus, and Rares Andrici.

STREET DATE: MAY 15.

It's Only the End of the World

Prodigious auteur Xavier Dolan (Mommy) comes of age with his dazzling sixth film, based on the play of the same name by Jean-Luc Lagarce and featuring an all-star cast of top French actors.

After 12 years of estrangement, a writer (Gaspard Ulliel) returns to his hometown, planning on announcing his impending death to his family. However, his mother (Nathalie Baye), tempestuous siblings (Vincent Cassel and Léa Seydoux) and beleaguered sister-in-law (Marion Cotillard) have their own personal grievances to air. As buried resentments threaten to surface and fits and feuds begin to unfold, all attempts at empathy are sabotaged by the family's inability to listen and love.

Winner of the Grand Prix at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, It's Only the End of the World is a bold and stylistically daring melodrama performed with thunderous emotion. Taut, tense and packed with explosive performances shot in claustrophobic close-up, it further confirms Dolan as one of the most singular talents in world cinema. Starring Gaspard Ulliel, Vincent Cassel, Marion Cotillard, Léa Seydoux, and Nathalie Baye.

STREET DATE: APRIL 24.

Rivers and Tides

Synopsis: Documentary profile of renowned sculptor Andy Goldsworthy, famed for his work using natural materials such as ice, stone, leaves, and wood. Shot in four countries across four seasons, the documentary offers an insight into Goldsworthy's painstaking creative processes, and the elusive nature of his work, which is often destroyed by nature and by the passing of time.

STREET DATE: MARCH 27.

UPCOMING DVD ONLY RELEASES

1. Katell Quillévéré's Heal the Living - June 26.
2. Pete Middleton and James Spinney's Notes on Blindness - April 10.
3. Rama Burshtein's Through the Wall - February 20.

Hopefully they come with the Gaumont extras. Some of these transfers have not been optimum, but when you can pick all 10 of these titles in a boxset for £30-35 by the end of the year, it's going to offer great value.

Most AE Blu-ray boxsets get cheap pretty quick. Not had to pay more than £19.99 for any of their Truffaut, Bergman, Mizoguchi sets etc.

The problem here is that The Unknown Girl promotes the same old one-dimensional view of life in the European Union. So the rights and wrongs are effectively predetermined by the Dardennes and the entire social system is essentially oversimplified in a way that allows them to deliver a number of their familiar points.

Odd political commentary by a blu-ray disc reviewer.

Though to be fair, it's exactly the kind of issues I had with 2 Days 1 Night.
Oh, and it's Seraing, not Saraing.

That looks great. What are the chances of Criterion updating their box set?

I wonder what happened to their Malle set, which is due in four weeks. No cover arts or specs announced yet.

I am excited by this but I'm also tempered by the fact that AE releases never seem to be smooth sailing.

I'll wait until the first screenshots are available.
