Could the feather have anything to do with Ford?
I assume Hotel is either the Akerman or perhaps Carne.

[Jeff]

I thought the giant baby = Solaris. Upgrade to blu, perhaps?

Are you sure you're not thinking of 2001?

I assume Hotel is either the Akerman or perhaps Carne.

I think Hôtel du Nord is actually a pretty reasonable guess, although there were no previous rumors.

A baby is born in Stagecoach.

[justeleblanc]

How is the Giant Baby anything but Colossal Youth?

[CSM126]

Feather = feather ritual from Darjeeling Limited?

[reno dakota]

Come on guys, the feather is obviously Forrest Gump.

[justeleblanc]

Dare I saw this single feather could mean "first down."

[Cosmo Vitelli]

I think the "Hotel sign" is for Vivre sa Vie. The Janus poster helps that cause.

[Tom Hagen]

Any guesses as to what the thing next to the road sign could be?

[ellipsis7]

Have to reoffer SUN SHINES BRIGHT, if Ford is in the frame, this rare OOP VHS no DVD title highlighted by Rosenbaum as scandalously unavailable, however feather might imply deluxe edition of WEE WILLIE WINKIE!... Neither actually seem impossible...

[MyNameCriterionForum]

Pitcher = Milk, not water? Tarkovsky's Sacrifice?

[Jeff]

I think the "Hotel sign" is for Vivre sa Vie. The Janus poster helps that cause.

Aha. That's gotta be it.

Yeah that's the only thing I can think of for a hotel sign. I was just looking at the poster (which is amazing) and it came to me. I see you listed almost everything on the picture. But I am still confused to the pitcher, feather, the thing on the ground beside the signs and the Idlewild sign.

Hey Guys,

Ryan from CriterionCast here.

I just uploaded the image to our Facebook page, and began tagging the films/images within.

Feel free to tag any of the films that I missed. Hopefully this will help determine all of the ones we can't figure out.

Thanks for checking it out!

I think the guy who guessed the vase from Summer Hours might be right - but it's really badly drawn!

[justeleblanc]

Sacrifice is still Kino, they are working on a Blu for 2010.
I also really like the weird shape next to the sign being the bowl from Summer Hours. Does anyone have a screen shot to confirm this?

And for what it's worth, Idlewild was the original name of JFK airport, and according to wikipedia Ang Lee's Wedding Banquet (which I haven't seen) takes place there. I'm guessing this is a stretch.

Feather?... or did someone mention Quills?

That be it!

[Cosmo Vitelli]

People are saying that the Baby could be "Colossal Youth" and by the title and the fact that the baby is huge in the pic, it's right.

[ellipsis7]

That object looks like one of those fixed binoculars/telescopes, put a coin in and you can see, top of the Empire State etc,. in Hitchcock somewhere I have lodged in my memory...

[Cosmo Vitelli]

So I guess we still need:

the feather
The Idlewild Home for Ladies sign
pitcher

Here is what we found out:

Vivre sa vie
M
Dillinger is Dead
Close-up
Colossal Youth
Red Desert
Brakhage
The Leopard
Yojimbo/Sanjuro
Days of Heaven
Lola Montes
Ride with the Devil
Revanche
The Red Shoes
War Trilogy
Paris, Texas
Che
Summer Hours

[justeleblanc]

It looks like the white feather does in fact refer to The Four Feathers.

Now, if only we can figure out that friggin pitcher/carafe/juice/milk/water/drink/jug?

[RyanGallagher]

Could the feather be Ivan's Childhood?

[Jeff]

So I guess we still need:

the feather
The Idlewild Home for Ladies sign
pitcher

We also still need weird sweater/hair/face guy from the motorcycle. He does not appear to be related to Ride with the Devil, M, or Close-Up.

haha, I thought it was Ang Lee. It could be since he is "riding with the Devil".

okay so if the feather is Four Feathers (which Four Feathers, the 1939 one or the Heath Ledger one?), we need the guy from the motorcycle, the Idlewild sign, and the pitcher.

Off-topic, I hope some of these pictures will come out in blu-ray that isn't in the color blue (Vivre sa vie being one that I want in blu.).
