Re: Is Polanski's Tess some where down the road for Criterion?
Depends on if Sony's willing to licence it to Criterion.

Ain't that always the way! I remember buying the original DVD release of Tron, only to have Disney release the 2-disc deluxe edition about 2 months later.

Was the Special Edition release of this unsatisfactory?

The special edition DVD of Polanski's Tess is a superior transfer, in print, easily obtainable and fully supplemented.
An immaculate and elegant thesis from Polanski. |
If you read the reviews at Amazon, the current version of
Tess is a disaster. I tend to agree with you. Maybe it is because I have been watching upscaled DVDs for so long, but I do not have any problem with the current DVD version.
Tess is my favorite Polanski film.
