If anyone's wondering who did the Threepenny Opera cover, it's Natalie Ascencios.

Quite likely. I probably watched bits of it while channel-flipping is what I'm thinking. [I know I saw the "other one".] :roll:

I posted it somewhere else, and was ignored, but if you go to the criterion homepage and keep hitting refresh you will see the spines of Breathless, Days of Heaven (keepcase), and Under the Volcano (keepcase).

Thanks. I did see your original post (somewhere else), but I didn't quite find what I was looking for then. [Almost didn't see it just now either, but finally now I see it (after zooming in a lot and just looking for the ones with the newer spines)…]

shouldn't The Lady Vanishes be a digipack, since it's a two-disc?

Well no. Criterion has been packaging the majority of their two-disc editions in single-thickness cases that hold the discs on an overlapping "figure-eight" tray ever since the logo change last year. Only the special-est of special editions (IE: they have HUGE books included) seem to get the digi anymore.

yep, they released all those beautiful digipacks like seven samurai, amarcord, pandoras box and spirit of the beehive, and now Criterion seem to have deserted the digi. :(

I can confirm that the 2 disc Martha Graham is a non-digi as well!

Is there anywhere that we could sneak a peak at the inside of the Berlin set?

Now having seen Drunken Angel, the cover still doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I mean, the blackness on the left does if it's the pool of filthy water, but other than that...

Interesting that this alternative cover for Two Lane Blacktop looks like an actual physical mock-up. Unless they've recently changed it, this version must have got close to being produced.

Anyone else liking the font on "This Sporting Life".

The whole cover looks like it could've been for an old boxing magazine. Too bad he's a rugby player!

the Miss Julie cover is already one of my all-time favorite covers, just goes to show what Criterion can do when they put their mind to it. the Varda covers are swell also!
