287 Burden of Dreams

[ryannichols7]

Shout nor BFI have shown murmurs of a Fitzcarraldo upgrade so far which I'll be curious to see when it changes. I was pretty surprised this got a full 4K upgrade but pretty pleased. I think it has a lot to do with their kinship with Harrod Blank (who they worked with very closely on their previous Blank releases) and Herzog of course sells no matter what form, and this is basically Criterion's only opportunity to release anything involving him. it's a smart release and I love that it includes the original DVD booklet

EDIT: I just saw this on the previous page

Hi Daniel and others: For the record, my comment about Burden of Dreams being remastered and released on Blu Ray should be elaborated upon in that Criterion didn't want to pay for it AT THIS TIME given the fact that we have just done all this work on A Poem Is A Naked Person. Please be patient, it will happen, but this is a very expensive and time consuming endeavor and right now we all have our plates full. I do not want to portray any dissatisfaction with the way in which Criterion has been handing Les Blank's works - on the contrary - I am very pleased with what they have done. This will happen given a bit more time. Thank you- Harrod Blank

thank you Harrod! this post turns 10 years old today and I think it'll be well worth the wait!
