Three new Criterions in August (1 Viewer)

So far only one full cover has been posted, but others should follow soon, I'm sure:




The rest will appear here:


This news is from CriterionForum.org.

This is great News! I wish Criterion would confirm these titles on their site!

 

[Jim_K]

Excellent news! Harakiri is a great overlooked film which I'll be adding to my collection.

 

[PaulP]

Derek, these covers ARE from Criterion's official site, if you look at where the pictures are linked from.

301 - ?
302 - The Flowers of St Francis (Rossellini)
303 - Harakiri (Kobayashi)
304 - ?
305 - Boudu Saved From Drowning (Renoir)

Any info or speculation on the missing numbers?

 

[Darrell Bratz]

Nope, other than that Criterion routinely skip around a little on the numbers - they seem to be assigned fairly early in their internal production cycle.

And Au Revoir Les Enfants is a goodish bet for 301

 

[Daniel P]

Actually, it's now looking as though it's like this:

293 - The Flowers of St Francis (Rossellini)

301 - ?
302 - Harakiri (Kobayashi)
303 - ?
304 - ?
305 - Boudu Saved From Drowning (Renoir)

Naturally I just bought the R2 DVD of Boudu Saved from Drowning. Good movie, but not good enough to rebuy.

 

[Ted Todorov]

So it looks like Au Revoir Les Enfants has slipped again, at least until September...

 

[Derek Estes]

303 49th Parallel?
304 A Canturbury Tale?

Only guessing.
Criterion is aparently working on these titles and I would expect them to be released side by side. I would love to see more Powell and Pressburger soon. Not to mention John Ford!

 

[PaulP]

Criterion has posted the details, and I've updated my first post to reflect the new spine numbers.

The Flowers of St. Francis (#293)
Harakiri (#302)
Boudu Saved from Drowning (#305)
