That's such a fun trailer. I didn't know Kuras and Leacock shot it which is so intriguing. Does anyone else remember his tv show?

So Sandra Bernhard will enter the collection, but not in King Of Comedy?

Also, a separate page for The Samurai and the Prisoner-black and white version

Janus picked up all the Cassavetes films from their box set:

Shadows
Faces
A Woman Under the Influence
The Killing of a Chinese Bookie
Opening Night

Even more questionable that they released AWUTI as a standalone bluray with no changes from the set or DVD standalone as a “new release” then.

You didn’t see standalone blus from the Three Colors Trilogy being touted around as new releases like this.

It's possible the rights weren't a done deal at that point, so they decided to get the crown jewel out ahead of any possible risk of losing them. Now it seems inevitable 4K restorations of all five will be undertaken.

A handful of William Greaves' films have popped up:

Wealth of a Nation
The First World Festival of Negro Arts
Still a Brother: Inside the Negro Middle Class
In the Company of Men
From These Roots
Frederick Douglass: An American Life
Booker T. Washington: The Life and the Legacy
Black Power in America: Myth or Reality?
Ida B. Wells: A Passion for Justice
Ralph Bunche: An American Odyssey

The Ralph Bunche doc is great. It’s a fairly standard style, but done incredibly well.
