Flash sale is live. I ordered Thief, The Tree of Life, and Ingmar Bergman's Cinema

The Jacques Demy set and Notorious here.

I still have so much left unwatched from previous sales, but I had a $10 gift code, so I ordered Watership Down.

Anyone on the fence about Ingmar Bergman’s Cinema and has $150 to burn should just go ahead. Easily the most fun I’ve had going through a filmmaker’s work. Also going to make my usual underrated gems recommendations: Pierre Etaix - if you love Tati, Etaix is just as brilliant Lonesome King of Jazz By Brakhage Bigger Than Life Kennedy Films of Drew and Associates Only have To Sleep with Anger and Notorious in my cart so far. On the fence for the Qatsi Trilogy and Demy.

I’ve bought Barry Lyndon for so many people. Maybe it’s time I got a copy for myself.

For that matter, Barry Lyndon, The Killing, Paths of Glory, Dr. Strangelove, Othello, The Magnificent Ambersons, Chimes at Midnight, The Immortal Story, and F for Fake are all among my all time favorite Blu-rays.

Bought the big Bergman box. Really thinking about getting Stagecoach but I'm waiting for the Criterion Channel to launch to watch that.

Ended up getting: 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days Beyond the Hills Blow Up The Graduate Graduation In the Heat of the Night Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy Also sad to see Criterion finally implemented CA sales tax. One of the reasons I would go nuts for Flash Sales was because they didn't charge CA sales tax (yet) but I guess all good things must come to an end.

The tax isn’t a big deal. It’s still as good as B&N. Cloks posted:Bought the big Bergman box. Really thinking about getting Stagecoach but I'm waiting for the Criterion Channel to launch to watch that. Stagecoach is worth it just for the extras. The Omnibus interview with John Ford is amazing and the piece on westerns is too. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Mar 5, 2019 |

Apparently I added the Before Trilogy right before they marked it as backordered, nice of them to honor the price despite the terms of the sale. Actually works in my favor too since it breaks up the cost between another paycheck. Ended up going with; The Stillman Collection Kicking and Screaming The Before Trilogy and Fantastic Planet Should be a fun nostalgia fest.

Got home today and my neighbours had my copy of Bergman’s Cinema!!!!! Aaahhhhhh!!!!! It’s loving huge!!!!! Also it just reminded me why do Criterion have their sleeves etc backwards always? Like if it was a book it would be right-to-left instead of left-to-right. It doesn’t really bother me but I do find it bizarre

Would it be a mistake to buy Seven Samurai, considering it's an HD scan from over a decade ago? I know Toho did a 4K restoration in 2016, so I would assume that would end up replacing the current blu-ray, but I haven't seen anything about it getting a release.

There is a rumor that Criterion might be doing a complete Kurosawa box set ala Bergman, so... maybe.

I'd bet money on a complete Kurosawa set a la Bergman for this November. They released the AK 100 DVD set (with 25 of his 30 feature films) in December 2009 - the eve of his 100th birthday. The B&N people I've spoken to always say Kurosawa sells out the fastest during the sales.

poo poo, I was gonna do a bunch of Kurosawa as a local theater did a Kurosawa/Mifune series that was great. Had to miss Hidden Fortress due to weather so that was on the list. But I also really want a BD of Stray Dog. I guess I can hold off if there’s gonna be a payoff like that. At some point I’ll grab House. If anyone wants a fever dream on celluloid, House is a great one.

I really liked House, I need to watch it again. I ended up with Asphalt Jungle and The Killers, I'm interested to see 3 takes on the same story. I was thinking of getting High and Low but it was sold out by the time I got home from work.

Ended up going with... My Man Godfrey The Awful Truth My Darling Clementine Notorious Babette's Feast The Fisher King To Sleep with Anger The Long Day Closes Might use the $50 gift certificate to get the David Lead/Noel Coward set, but I'm going to save it for the fall flash sale.

Are there plans to ever release a br of Ordet? I'm having trouble picking something to buy. Everything I want comes out later this year, and I don't want to use my gift code on just an upgrade, so I'm wanting to take a chance on a blind buy, but every one I settle on is oop like Ordet or Leon Morin.

There's a Region B BFI set with Day of Wrath, Ordet, and Gertrud (plus Master of the House and some short films by Dreyer). Janus re-released Day of Wrath a few years ago, but nothing else since then. The BFI set seems to have all the same extras plus others. It even has an option to watch Master of the House with Danish intertitles while Criterion's edition is English-only.

Man, I’m super bummed that they don’t ship internationally... £110 for the Bergman box would have been an insane steal.

Ive been enjoying my Bergman box way more than I thought I would. Went from a casual fan to considering him one of my favorite filmmakers. Just finished Shame/Passion of Anna a few days ago and still feel them working on my brain.

Three of the greatest films of all time and an underappreciated silent, all looking as crisp as they ever did.

Ornate carpets in film came up in another thread and it made me want to immediately go home and thrown on my copy of Fanny & Alexander. That has to be peak Bergman in terms of set design.
