No cuffs on Swing Time? I'm in for that, plus War and Peace. Though, Hedwig looks interesting. Unmature posted:Are many of Bergman’s films that were left out if the box set essential? I figure if I make it through this thing (currently on Summer Interlude) I may as well keep going The consensus seems to indicate that Face to Face is the only significant work. The rest of the omitted theatrical features were apparently not quite admired by Bergman himself (I know he didn't like High Tension). Though, it seems like a lot of his television work is interesting, so maybe Criterion will do something like an Eclipse set of that stuff, especially since a lot of the 80s/90s stuff is SD anyways.

I might be missing some but here’s the omissions I listed from the Bergman set: It Rains On Our Love (1946) Music in Darkness (1948) Prison (1949) This Can’t Happen Here (1950) Face To Face (1976) The Blessed Ones (1986) In the Presence of a Clown (1997)

Any thoughts on Beyond the Hills or Au hasard Balthazar?

Au hasard Balthazar is great, but not the easiest introduction to Bresson, whose extremely ascetic style can seem very off-putting at first. I think A Man Escapes is a better starting point into his filmography, since the minimalism complements its story very well.

Hm, good point, but have you considered the possibility that it is actually you who sucks.  I totally get not liking him. It took me like three films before I warmed up to him and three more before I was ready to call him one of the greats.

Only Bresson I've seen is Pickpocket, but it's a great film. A Man Escaped and Balthazar have been on my watchlist for a while.

"French New Wave" covers a wide variety of styles. Truffaut, Godard, Resnais, Rohmer, Rivette, Demy, Varda... these directors are almost nothing like each other.

The only recommendation I can give is to watch L'Argent. If that doesn't affect you either, then I think Bresson is a lost cause for you.

Kino's insider guy confirmed they had hoped to have a Powell & Pressburger film, as well as a Powell film from the StudioCanal deal... but another label has them. Pretty much confirms Criterion got The Tales of Hoffmann and Peeping Tom back. (Kino is still releasing Gone to Earth/The Wild Heart on license from Disney, though) Plus, some of Kino's SC licenses are on Kanopy, so along with other confirmations, here's the former Criterions they got: Bob le flambeur The Milky Way Quai Des Orfevres Alphaville Le doulos Kind Hearts and Coronets Last Year at Marienbad Port of Shadows

Criterion Channel lineup news I was wondering if they would be licensing much from elsewhere to add to their own content, and it looks very promising. quote:The new service will host the Criterion Collection and Janus Films’ ever-growing library of more than 1,000 feature films, 350 shorts, and 3,500 supplementary features, including trailers, introductions, behind-the-scenes documentaries, interviews, video essays, commentary tracks, and rare archival footage. It will also feature a constantly refreshed selection of films from a wide array of studio and independent licensors including Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM), Lionsgate, IFC Films, Kino Lorber, Cohen Media, Milestone Film and Video, Oscilloscope, Cinema Guild, Strand Releasing, Shout Factory, Film Movement, and Grasshopper Films. Additional licensors will be added in the coming months. Super jazzed

Unmature posted:I'm kinda glad its not just all of it up all the time. I thought this was the case when I read that post this morning, but going back and reading again, they seem to have added this note: quote:Films in the permanent streaming library will be continuously available to all Criterion Channel subscribers at all times, regardless of whether they are being spotlighted in thematic programming. Films licensed specifically for featured thematic programming may be available for shorter periods, but all films will be available for a minimum of ninety days unless otherwise noted. Which is a relief.

Even if they didn't have any major studio support (as was the case with the Hulu version of The Criterion Channel), they still have a ton of content. Basically, imagine having every Eclipse DVD set available for streaming, with most in HD. Or being able to watch every Kurosawa, Tarkovsky, Truffaut, Chaplin, or Bergman film. But also a lot of lesser-known stuff. I never got around to watching all the obscure Japanese films. Or the World Cinema Project stuff.
