Elio Petri's Il Maestro di Vigevano, 1963

since we had the "MV" clue. Petri and Visconti in one month?

Likely Petri's The Teacher from Vigevano, which would fit the MV clue in its original title Il maestro di Vigevano and dash my hopes for some Michael Verhoeven.

If they could repeat last year’s December with another long MIA later period work via Sandra, man…

Given Radiance’s willingness to completely rerelease preexisting OOP boutique label releases, I wonder if they’re planning to tackle the films in the Arrow Rivette set, which is similarly to Imamura going for absurd prices on the secondhand market

All our rereleases have included superior masters or bumped to 4K UHD. Those Rivette titles still have the existing masters so it would be slightly more challenging to do so.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for the insight!

Fran, since you're around, can you guys ask Studio Canal for the Bertrand Tavernier titles they didn't port over to the UK already, like A Sunday in the Country, Captain Conan and The Judge and the Assassin? Even if it takes till 2028 as your slate for next year is full.
