That's (in)credibly specific. Any hint this is gonna drop soon?
believe me, I'm not bressonaire. but basically I used what they called his Criterion Channel series, and they own the rights to those four films. Jia has
confirmed multiple times he'd be working with Criterion on releasing them, and I actually forgot (it was really late when I wrote it) that
Still Life was confirmed to be included too. so it'd be five films! plus they're doing his new movie, so it would make sense to do the older ones first. I also picked an Almodovar title since he's similarly in the conversation at the moment
I'm sure
The Third Man would be Lionsgate but one can hope. I'd love to see Criterion do
The Searchers (also a slim chance) only for the even slimmer chance that they'd hire Joseph McBride to record a commentary for it
