Breathless UHD
Drive My Car UHD
Nights of Cabiria unboxed
Shaft UHD
Winchester '73

Announcements delayed until Thursday. But looks like we're getting Tales of Hoffman. Hopefully 4K.

Darn--and I wore my Criterion shirt to work today for luck.

Monthly disappointment: no Pink Flamingos
Random Upgrade: The Testament of Dr. Mabuse
Random Breakaway: The Housemaid (from WCP #1)
Complete Longshot: Eclipse 47 will be the first Blu-Ray entry

(I also had Peeping Tom as this month's Canal return)

They also posted this today:



Blu-Ray on Thursday, please!

The 50th anniversary of Pink Flamingos is on Thursday.

So are those hints for a Man Bites Dog upgrade and To Catch a Thief... ?

Dog on toilet = Pink Flamingos?

Would the Bark Obama one be American Factory? I know it’s not about healthcare but Obama produced it and it’s been over two years since it was initially announced

Looks like June's gonna be a real... treat.

The above image was posted by Janus Films and seems to be an image that existed before the post (not made specifically by Janus). Man Bites Dog might be the only actuality unless they found the perfect Easter egg image that is also a 750 piece jigsaw puzzle.

Gotcha!! Thought for a second that we were getting hint drawings again

A newsletter clue of such profound and widespread popularity, you can buy it framed at Home Depot.

Where did they post this?

Yeah, my bad, folks. It was on Janus's twitter feed (though it was from today), not Criterion's.

Not sure if Criterion have made the time to un-cancel von Trier yet

Maybe it will be their riposte to the Commies invading Ukraine because of the neo-Nazis supposedly lurking there

The Ghost Goes West
The Hour of the Furnaces

Accattone

I'd be very surprised if Los Olvidados actually received a UHD release, but here's hoping. Also, I've noticed a few people predicting a Contempt UHD, but to the best of my knowledge it's never received a proper 4K restoration. I could be dead wrong though. I just can't recall a 4K master ever making the repertory rounds the way new restorations of those kinds of films generally do.

Aren't announcements on the 15th anymore?

Universal released Belfast (2021) on Blu early this month.

It feels like a cheat to guess this late, but...

Dogville
Drive My Car
Inland Empire
Pink Flamingos
The Tales of Hoffman
Winchester '73

But surely they wouldn't release such a solid list of titles all at once.

Not to mention so many English-language ones
