Let's please contain this particular discussion to one thread.

They might just hold with tradition - Cocteau, Bergman, Imamura, etc - and put it in a box with normal cases. That's my educated guess, though.

Or they could package it in the tradition of Truffaut, Cassavettes, Rohmer, Fassbinder, Teshigahara, Varda, and Monterey Pop.

Yeah, I seriously doubt the Rossellini Trilogy will be a digipack, since they have revealed cover art and spine numbers for each individual film.

Discs in individual digipaks in box sets also have spine numbers and cover art. Check your

Hmmm, I didn't know that. I don't have any of those sets. The sets I have contain individual plastic cases (Dreyer, Cocteau, Eisenstein).

It should come with Yojimbo sandals.

Do the end labels make anything in particular? It looks like something was spilled on it in the production phase.

It looks like one of those shots from Rashomon where the camera looks up at the sky and catches the light coming in through the trees. Totally iconic Kurosawa image if you ask me.

I assumed it was a puddle with raindrops in it..

lets be honest its a black and white image of some blurry dots.
Not quite the most inspiring image to pick from AK's career of cinema.

this is what I thought it was as well.. not seeing the raindrops in water all.

Some type of tree/flower blossoms floating on water.

(Recalling some Japanese film where that's an important element, not sure which. Possibly a Kurosawa title.)

I immediately thought of Rashomon, too - it looks great. What would you prefer, a big shot of Mifune stroking his chin? :-k

Anytime I think of Rashomon, the shots of the light seeping through the trees comes to mind. I'm surprised not many recognized it. Some of the most beautiful and iconic imagery in the film.

On what set was the Kurosawa photo for the set taken at?

I'd guess its from Kagemusha.

I see a face in a field of flowers and I'm not joking.

After e-mailing Jon Mulvaney on Tuesday night about not receiving my plastic case for "The Third Man," yet, this was his reply...

Hi Chris,

Thanks for writing in!

The program has been so popular that we are currently out of the
plastic cases! We're expecting more to come in a the end of the week.
I have a record of all the payments so rest assured that as soon as we
receive more I'll be shipping one out to you!

Thanks for supporting Criterion and please accept my apologies for any
worries caused!

Best,

Jon

I see a man kicking a dog. Does that mean I'm a sociopath?

Has anyone received the replacement case for the Third Man Blu Ray? Has anyone even ordered it?

I sent them money, what I wanted (Third Man case), and my address via PayPal on Monday... nothing yet.

I put my order in last Friday.

I'm assuming the new packaging will be the newer style case with re-sized inserts and essay booklets. The booklets that came with the digipaks are larger than the newer BD cases so I hope (and know they most likely did) a re-sized booklet accompanies the case.

I wasn't 100% against the digipaks but the clear style cases are better in every conceivable way.

I didn't order one, but what Criterion had in stock already went out (some have received theirs), they're waiting for more to handle the rest.
