Hedwig and the Angry Inch is going to be a digipack, based on all of the written content.

Surprisingly disappointed by Hedwig, much like I am by the film.

Though I love the parallels between the L’humanite cover and the Mamet Homicide cover. Niiiiiiiiiiice.

Certainly accidental, no?

I’m with those that think Swing Time is atrocious. Will probably win worst cover for me - I died a bit just as I saw the email announcement...

La Vie de Jesus is puzzlingly terrible. That rendering looks nothing like the main character. There were some great evocative stills for this film. The other dumont is okay, but the original poster which it apes is still better.

Disagree, the Dumonts are beautiful and L'Humanite looks like a Klimt to my eyes

I agree with dda...

The cover for L'Humanite also reminds me in a strange way a little of Peter Greenaway's short film A Walk Through H.

Hey, if Criterion's not gonna use it anymore, it's free game

That Klute cover is so awesome

Great covers this month

knives · #1392 Post by **knives** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 8:48 pm

All of them are great even if the wacky C muddles the Pagnol.

#1393 Post by **domino harvey** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 8:48 pm

Yeah, nothing to complain about here

Yeah, perhaps they should’ve made the c the color of the bread

Brian C · #1395 Post by **Brian C** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 9:10 pm

At least they didn’t spoil the Pagnol by showing us what the wife looks like. Instead I now feel like my interest is piqued - who is this wife? Why the big secret?

Likewise, I’m more curious than ever about what the right thing is.

Boosmahn · #1396 Post by **Boosmahn** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 9:11 pm

All great covers. I don't remember the last time a batch has been this solid.

This may be the best all-round month for covers I can remember. That Klute concept could have collapsed completely in execution, but they pulled it off well.

I was thinking what a great month of art work, let me see what the forum thinks...then I noticed the wacky C...

Unfortunately it falls on stoney ground for me but why pray is Klute in inverted commas? Has it always been so?

They were there on the DVD and a quick Google search shows them on the original American and French posters as well
