2007 is becoming a great year for Criterion releases and it's not even here yet. Sanjuro, Yojimbo, Mouchette, Bicycle Thieves, First Naruse, possible Berlin Alexanderplatz, possible Mizoguchi, possible Salo reissue.

This big question about this isn't whether it will come out, it's whether it will include Man Without a Map. This could be a problem.
What makes you say it could be a problem? are there no available source prints? I hope it has all four of them in it, it wouldn't be worth releasing without Man Without a Map would it? I've been dreaming of this boxset for a few years now...

Well, this for starters:
ptmd from Forthcoming thread wrote:According to Richie, plans are in the works for a Teshigahara/Abe box set that will include Woman in the Dunes, The Pitfall, and The Face of Another.
Second, no UK release. Third, the R2 Japan box set had this one without subtitles (which implies rights issues.) I hope it's included, the Japanese disc of this looks gorgeous... but you never know in the murky world of video rights.

This was recently released on DVD by Facets, wasn't it? Don't think it would be available to Criterion.

Yeah, you're right. Didn't know.

Speaking of Boxes, two things...
1. I heard that Linklater is releasing a third installment of the Before Sunrise series, so that box should be delayed until they can get the third movie to include in the trilogy...it does not make sense to release only the first two and then have to purchase a studio release without all the CC benefits...the folks at CC should not be so cruel!
2. Another Malle box would be great...but what would the theme be this time around? Documentries? Comedy? American Malle? Let the random speculation on this begin...

Possibly a Malle documentaries box. But I would think Phantom India would be a stand alone release. If anything related, Calcutta.

i forgot to mention that i had emailed criterion about breathless during summer and they confirmed it will be released in 2007
Dear Edgar,
We do in fact hold the rights to release Breathless. While the film is not on our current release schedule, we hope to have a finished product available some time next year.
I hope this helps, and please feel free to contact us with any future questions or concerns.
Best,
Matt Lipson
The Criterion Collection

Great news on Breathless!!!!
This is shaping up to be a great year for criterion.

I'll believe Breathless is coming when I see it...but why not do something different and include the Richard Gere re-make along with the original?...it gets boring just getting the usual masterpiece time and again...this is a chance for Criterion to show its true colors and justify their status as a top authority on film art...

Has anyone noticed that Criterion has been a bit more forthcoming recently? There's been confirmation about WR and BREATHLESS within the past week alone, and I'm sure there's been more that I just don't know about.

Imagine
Breathless and
Pierrot le fou in 2007.
I think this is going to be a great year for us Criterion fans. It is already looking good so far.

2 or 3 Things as well. Where was Pierrot confirmed for 07?

Dusan Makavejev's
WR: Mysteries of the Organism is playing in the current Janus retrospective tour. According to a post in the
forthcoming thread, a producer confirmed that Makavejev recorded a commentary track.

It wasn't, but I can't imagine them holding off on this anymore.

That's terrible logic.

Jonathan Turell's latest
blog post mentions an
Andrei Rublev rerelease as an aspiration, which is moderately encouraging. Perhaps Criterion might also be so good as to schedule
Ivan's Childhood for distribution in the not-too-distant future.
Well, you
do read this forum, don't you?

Plus a 100% solid confirmation of Salo.

At least 24 re-releases around 4 per year, according to the blog.

I would love for them to reissue Kwaidan, Walkabout, and Alphaville.

My vote for a reissure would go to "Nights of Cabiria".

Why? It's not that bad looking. It's progressive, too, isn't it?
