Hi Rich,
I think you are confusing Louis Malle and Eric Rohmer -- Au Revoir Les Enfants and Murmur of the Heart are directed by Malle. The ones I'm hoping for are May Fools; Lacombe Lucien & Ascenseur pour l'échafaud. What the three have in common, appart from being excellent films, is three of the greatest original jazz soundtracks ever.
So far as Rohmer's Tales of the Four Seasons, unfortunately MGM has Tale of Springtime, so a Criterion box is very unlikely. Same problem with Comedies and Proverbs -- MGM owns Pauline at the Beach. I am expecting a Criterion Six Moral Tales box, but unfortunately, it seems to be taking them for ever. I suspect that getting good film elements is a problem -- I watched some of the early films from the R2 box, and they don't look too hot.
