I agree the Criterion collection has always been the go to company for the highest quality. And I have really enjoyed the Criterion Channel with its wide range of selections.
A few days ago I re-watched the Criterion Blu Ray of DAYS OF HEAVEN, largely due to Linda Manz's recent death. It looked OK but I think they need to do an upgrade on it. I wonder what the chances are of that or if it would be possible for a UHD of it. Any thoughts?
I saw it all in one day at AFI.... decidedly a challenge, but the movie is great and it was well worth it. It was originally released as four different films in Russian. The American version was more like six hours, shown as two three hour films.... and it is horribly dubbed. I would say this...
I hope the news is true about Bondarchuk's War & Peace. One of the greatest movies I have ever seen. I saw the original Russian version in 70mm at the AFI in Silver Spring, MD about a decade ago. Also recently the film showed up in HD on YouTube and looked and sounded magnificent... even if...
