Posted in Coming Soon, DVD on December 18th, 2007 by William SperuzziNow that the holidays are here a lot of people are scrambling to get gifts for their family and friends. One gift always undeniably works for the cinephile – a DVD from the Criterion Collection. Looking over the site today I noticed that there is a four disc set of Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor in the works. Nice! As we all know a lot of films are still missing from the catalog. A couple came to mind for me:
- The Landlord – This 1970 Hal Ashby [not the Will Ferrell/Adam McKay wacky short] satirical gem taking place in pre-gentrified Park Slope, Brooklyn is no where to be found on DVD.
- Angelo My Love – A little seen but excellent film written and directed by Robert Duvall about the rituals of a gypsy community in New York City is also nowhere to be found.
Added:
- Last Year at Marienbad – Alan Resnais’ strange and mysterious classic. How can you go wrong with characters named A, X and M? [screening at the Film Forum in 2008]
Are there any films you would like to see Criterion do a hi-def transfer with all the extras? Which one’s do you think deserve the treatment?
