Fellini's Satyricon

Pretty sure I can make out La Promesse

Canterbury Tale could be the Pasolini because I also see Decameron.

Is that the Decalogue below it? (Below Canterbury Tale, that is)

(Actually, looking closer, I don't think it is.)

Above and below Canterbury are Decameron and Lonesome.

I could be wrong, by I think I see Mahler underneath Gorin.

So from top to bottom, that list is:

Life of Oharu
Paris Nous Appartient
?
La Promesse
Fellini's Satyricon
Decameron
Canterbury Tales
Lonesome
Ministry of Fear
Spartacus
? (Heaven's something? Doesn't look like Heaven's Gate)

The second question mark looks like La promesse.

And I think the last one does look like Heaven's Gate.

And I think the last one does look like Heaven's Gate

Cold Bishop explodes in 3... 2...

Does anyone care to hazard a guess about what films from MK2 Criterion would have interest in?

I think that's Sunday Bloody Sunday below Autumn Sonata

Above La Promesse, it looks like The Bridge, which might be the 1959 German film

That was what my girlfriend saw, too. There's also a 1999 French movie of that title.

IMDb lists like 50 films called The Bridge, six of which apparently came out last year!

Am I the only one who doesn't seen La Promesse? I see "By G----g--". Can't make out the rest. I'm convinced there's a low slooped letter right there.

Pretty sure that right under Gorin it says Mailer. I assume that's an Eclipse list and that Norman Mailer's first three films are coming in a set.

The first letter does look more like a 'G' but the rest looks like 'romesse' to me. And there's no way Criterion would release La gromesse, that movie was terrible.

MK2 has a searchable database.

They're the rights holders to a lot of the Truffauts.

Bah, there's too many to choose from and I can't make anything out. I was hoping MK2 maybe only actually owned 13 films.

Anyone else making out L'Argent on the MK2 list? That'll be the Bresson film.

The final name on that list could be Jancso

Yeah, and it's further complicated because they have international films listed that I am assuming they have the French rights for, but probably not the North American. Lynch, Van Sant, etc.

My American Uncle would be a cool pick-up if they could get it.

They've also got a bunch of Kiarostami, Local Hero, Altman's Kansas City, Head On, Denis' Chocolat, some Lynch (including Eraserhead), Wenders' The End of Violence, Black Cat White Cat, Bresson's L'argent, and of course the Chaplins and Kieślowskis.

But yeah I don't know how many of those they'd have American rights for.

edit: Does that say Dr. Seuss at the top of the right hand column of the Qatsi trilogy page?

That's what I read too. That column is Eclipses I assume. On the other side of that paper at the bottom I think I see "Summer with Monika".

Other case of me possibly being crazy, but the second column on the Gorin page, at the very top, does it say Dr. Seuss?

Anyways, I'm convinced it's Mahler. They've own the rights for years, haven't they?
