Criterion Blu-ray titles! (2 Viewers)

New newsletter hit my email. so a new clue: Wacky Tuna:

I'm at a loss

Early guesses elsewhere stab at "L'Avventura", but since I've never seen that one either, I'm also at a loss.

The sign post is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_to_Italy

The tuna is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromboli_(film)

Europa 51 fits in there somehow as well.

It'll likely be a Bergman/Rossellini themed trilogy box set.

Interesting Eddie, I can't think of anything better to go with those clues.

I certainly hope so. I've been waiting for those, especially Journey to Italy.

 

[EddieLarkin]

If there was any doubt, Janus have been touring Journey to Italy http://www.janusfilms.com/journey/ so that one was a given anyway.

 

[JoeDoakes]

I like the clues that refer to American films or at least foreign films of which I have heard.

Since previously we were talking about the audio commentaries of David Kalat on "Godzilla", I thought some might like to read his blog on how he goes about doing them. Pretty interesting, I might have to did Godzilla out of storage and give it a listen.

Russell, many thanks.

That's one of the best links I've read here.

People scavaging the website have determined the Rossellini/Bergman box set and La Cage Aux Folles for September so far...Pictures here:http://www.criterionforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=436916#p436916

 

[Ruz-El]

Those two would be a pass for me. Not complaining though since I want to get Shoah.

 

[Moe Dickstein]

La Cage Aux Folles is one of the greatest European comedies of all time, I'm dying to know what the extras are. I love Bergman so that set is interesting to me as well. Wonder what else we get in September. I wish they'd make the official update already!

[Ruz-El]

Slacker bluray for me. I'll probably buy Dazed and Confused as well since I never did pick it up.

 

[Ruz-El]

Or maybe not. it looks line not all the extras from the DVD are going to Bluray. Not sure on that one now. Dumb.

 

[EddieLarkin]

4 new titles and 3 upgrades. One hell of a month.

That's why I'm glad to already have the DVD lol. Just get the new one and keep both. Ill sell my Autumn Sonata and Spy was one of the few I still had left to buy thankfully!

The Rossellini-Bergman films were misunderstood and derided in their time. Today they can be viewed as the pinnacle of an artistic partnership. I believe Europa '51 features Bergman's best work, unequaled until Autumn Sonata.
Give these films a chance.
