Re: "A Matter Of Life And Death"

It's several years since Sony said that were just waiting on Martin Scorsese to record a commentary for the R1 release (it's been out in R2 for some time). However, it looks like that hasn't changed. In January, Thelma Schoonmaker introduced a screening of Bluebeard's Castle and The Tales of Hoffmann at the LA County Museum and in a Q&A session she apparently mentioned that Sony's A Matter of Life and Death is complete except for one thing - they're waiting on Scorsese to record a commentary (still!)

So many films, so little time...

On another thread - the one about NORTH BY NORTHWEST I mentioned that this Sat - Mar 8, 2008 The Lafayette Theater in Suffern NY will be showing that film as part of it's big screen classics series. Check out their website Big Screen Classics they are also going to show A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH on another Sat- I asume the print is from Sony, hopefully this means the video release is approaching. If not they should turn the film over to Criterion to release as they seem able to secure Martin Scorsese for their tracks!

I wonder if they prepped a hi-def transfer for a Blu-ray release. By the time Scorsese gets around to that commentary, hi-def may be the standard bearer.
