"The Palm Beach Story"(1942)directed & written by Preston Sturges(Jan. 20th)
"La Cienaga"(2001/Spain)directed by Lucrecia Martel(Jan. 27th)

I'm in for "The Palm Beach Story"...

 

Me, too. Bang-BAAANG!

 

None of these interest me, but I did just politely suggest Tender Mercies...

 

I would buy "Palm Beach Story"...would have liked to have seen a couple more interesting vintage America titles which could use the Criterion treatment (I would have loved "The Apartment" or "A Face in the Crowd")

 

Criterion has also confirmed that they are working on a later 2015 blu-ray release of another Preston Sturges film..."Sullivan's Travels"...

 

I was hoping for an upgrade of Ratcatcher.

 

I'd really love to see a Criterion of Antonioni's Blow-up, it would be a natural for them. But, IIRC, Warner owns that one and they don't like to license their stuff out. Of course, that prompts the question of why Warner hasn't done their own BR of that one.

 

Criterion just announced that they've entered into a licensing agreement with Warner...I can see "Blow-Up" coming out either as a Criterion Edition or Warner Archive blu-ray in 2015...

 

Any links?

 

Ha then they would have Blow UP and Blow Out...
