Are we talking MSRP? I mean $50 once all is said and done. I guess that's $80 MSRP... So you're right on the money.matrixschmatrix wrote:Remember than an $80 price point generally means $50 if you buy it from Amazon and as low as $30 if you work the deals correctly. $40 is what Criterion charges for one Blu, $50 for one movie special edition (like Seven Samurai or Night of the Hunter.) They're certainly not going to charge that little for three big-name movies.
Sorry. I thought he meant what should he expect to shell out upon its release date. Either way, I'd say $40-50 and you've got the set.matrixschmatrix wrote:Yes, 'price point' refers to MSRP- otherwise, it's impossible to say what something costs, as actual price is in constant flux.
That's rather disconcerting. I expected it would herald the release of several Warner-licensed titles.dwk wrote:So, cdnchris posted the packaging photos of Naked and it seems it is now licensed from Film4 and not New Line. I guess that means no Blu-ray deal for the New Line titles was struck.
I wasn't able to find the Clatterbaugh quote on Monsters from the Vault's webpage though.Greg Mank has recorded the audio commentary and there will be a talking heads documentary also. I expect there will be a formal announcement soon.

I actually like Middle of the World best of the Tanner films I've seen.

Max et les Férrailleurs is listed in the Rialto catalogue as a future release. Considering Rialto's relationship with Criterion, this is a strong possibility..rrenault wrote:Not to be random or anything, but I wouldn't mind another Claude Sautet title or maybe an Eclipse set ...
We can only hope that they are like the the many other titles found in this search engine (for example, Renoir's Elena and her Men, Godard's Made in USA or Breathless) that StudioCanal apparently doesn't have the US rights to....rrenault wrote:"This may be a problem"

I wonder if Chris could tell us whether the film itself still begins with the Fine Line logo, as on the previous DVD, or has a FilmFour logo instead? That might also provide a further clue as to whether this is outside of a possible New Line/Warner deal.Jeff wrote:That's rather disconcerting.

Agreed about Middle of the World, and I think Messidor, A Flame in the Heart, and In the White City are also more accomplished than Jonah. So there's my dream Eclipse set.Michael Kerpan wrote:I actually like Middle of the World best of the Tanner films I've seen.

My favorite might be Messidor, but whatever. A Tanner Eclipse set would be perfect. Jonah, Messidor, White City, Salamandre, and Charles, Dead or Alive (the only one of these I haven't seen) were all released by New Yorker on VHS, so maybe that could be your Eclipse set if Criterion could snag those rights (if they haven't already).Perkins Cobb wrote:Agreed about Middle of the World, and I think Messidor, A Flame in the Heart, and In the White City are also more accomplished than Jonah.

Which neatly puts the John Berger/Tanner films in one box. On the subject of Berger where oh where are his own films on DVD made with Mike Dibb and the Ways of Seeing TV series? Shame on you BBC.
