[Cinephrenic]

Wow, who is the designer?

[domino harvey]

Some college art student with a Wacom tablet?

[Dadapass]

what the fuck!
I wasn't expecting this and I love it

[domino harvey]

Yes, like Criterion, Kay Thompson is the first place my mind goes to when I hear "noir"

[Cinephrenic]

I just had a mind orgasm :-"

[justeleblanc]

I hope that's not the final design, Beckinsale's breasts aren't big enough.

[Antoine Doinel]

Are they really running out of color combinations for Eclipse? Wouldn't black and red have made more sense?

[Saturnome]

Black and hot pink looks like the 80s to me.

[knives]

I think the Black & Pink is more striking then using red would be. It makes the release appear more unique.

In the middle of Last days, and have to say that cover is not helping it. The pitch won't attract who the product would be enjoyed the most by. Something like the Rules of Attraction would have been better.

Edit: And I do know that Metropolitan was done in the same style.

[Doctor Sunshine]

Black and hot pink looks like the 80s to me.

Hot pink alone or red and black -- like my former killer backpack -- are 80s things, this scheme is noir meets cherry blossoms.

[Cosmic Bus]

Like Knife In the Water and Repulsion, Last Days would seem to be designed to go along with Metropolitan.

[mrschroeder1982]

Black and hot pink looks like the 80s to me.

That same thought occurred to me! I saw that cover and was immediately transported back to my third-grade year, when everyone was using the "neon"-colored crayons...

[CSM126]

Black and hot pink looks like the 80s to me.

Nearly had a Hart Attack when I saw it!



Speaking of 80's...

[TheGodfather]

Last Days of Disco cover looks good, Nikkatsu set sound interesting.

-edit- Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles is coming in august, according to the site =D>

[oldsheperd]

Does the Nikkatsu box come with a coupon for a free box of Good and Plentys?
Big ups on the Hart Foundation!

[cdnchris]

For those that care this is what I have for cover art. Though considering it's not on the site (as proved in the past) the final artwork will probably be very different.

[domino harvey]

I'd kind of like it if it had a white spaced line dividing the two pictures

[HerrSchreck]

Black and pink-- the color of the uniform trim of Heinz Guderian's Panzer divisions.

[TheGodfather]

No offense, but yes: I do hope it`ll be different

[cdnchris]

I agree with Domino on the divider but other than that I actually like the cover. But I lack imagination and in all honesty, considering the film, I can't imagine what else you could do with the cover. I'll be interested in seeing what the final one looks like.

[Bloody Benten]

The font looks temporary but once it changes cover will look fine

[Cinephrenic]

I hope that is not it, it's horrible.

[domino harvey]

You really don't see too many DVDs with Georgia font, maybe Criterion's making a new branding statement

[Antoine Doinel]

Repeating frames seems to be a new trend Criterion cover art.
