Straub & Huillet on DVD

[JimmyTango]

$375 for Moses and Aaron?

[GrasshopperFilm]

The $375 price is the institutional rate, which includes the right to hold screenings of the film. We'll be announcing home video releases later this year.

Any word on video formats? Hint hint

Grasshopper Film's Moses and Aaron blu-ray will include Introduction to Arnold Schoenberg’s “Accompaniment to a Cinematographic Scene”, Machorka-Muff and Not Reconciled.

Damn, they found a way to make me double dip.

Whoa! Those are way more than just "special features." Not Reconciled is worthy of a release on its own.

I'm not a fan of Not Reconciled but yeah, they seem to have buried the lede here

Which films by them, if any, are next in line to be released on DVD/BD by Grasshopper, Edition Filmmuseum, or whomever? Thanks!

I should've posted this much earlier, but Metrograph members have access to many of their films via Metrograph's home streaming collection. The quality is top-notch - I haven't watched all of them, but they appear to be derived from recent 2K restorations made from fresh scans of the original camera negative (with 4K scans for those that I know to be filmed on 35mm). When you get to the very end of the credits (after the music finishes), they will have restoration cards that will display all the relevant information in French. One caveat: you can expect the usual compression artifacts that comes with streaming.

FWIW, even though it says "complete," they clearly don't have everything they made. (They do have most of their work though.) As if to drive this point home, a bunch of them will no longer be available after tomorrow, including several of their best films that aren't available on Blu-ray either. Among those being pulled after tomorrow, I personally favor the features From the Cloud to the Resistance and Too Early, Too Late and the shorts Black Sin (worth it for the opening alone) and Cezanne, Conversation with Joachim Gaasquet. You can also catch a DCP of From the Cloud to the Resistance at Lincoln Center on Saturday afternoon (and it's actually playing there right now as I type).
