We've got some exciting news for this fall, and we wanted you to hear it first. Our first Blu-ray discs are coming! We've picked a little over a dozen titles from the collection for Blu-ray treatment, and we’ll begin rolling them out in October. These new editions will feature glorious high-definition picture and sound, all the supplemental content of the DVD releases, and they will be priced to match our standard-def editions.
Here’s what’s in the pipeline:
The Third Man
Bottle Rocket
Chungking Express
The Man Who Fell to Earth
The Last Emperor
El Norte
The 400 Blows
Gimme Shelter
The Complete Monterey Pop
Contempt
Walkabout
For All Mankind
The Wages of Fear
Holy Shit. Fantastic news to say the least. Hell, I didn't even know Criterion has the dvd rights to Chungking Express (unless this release will strictly be Blu-Ray). Of course Bottle Rocket is exciting too but man am I most excited for Contempt. See this film in glorious high definition will be simply jaw dropping. Matter of fact nearly every title on this list is promising. Can not wait!
I'll be back in a day or two with a review of XXY courtesy of Film Movement.
