Costa-Gavras THE CONFESSION (it is up on Criterion's Hulu channel and earlier in the month, they posted a pic of Peter Cowie interviewing Costa-Gavras.)
Criterion added the following special features to SILENCE DE LA MER:
Code Name Melville (2008), a seventy-six-minute documentary on Melville's time in the French Resistance and his films about it
Melville Steps Out of the Shadows (2010), a forty-one-minute documentary about Le silence de la mer featuring interviews with actor Nicole Stéphane and filmmaker Volker Schlí¶ndorff, among others
Criterion has added their Demy titles to their Hulu channel including the following that were not in the box set: A SLIGHTLY PREGNANT MAN, PARKING, THE PIED PIPER, and Varda's JACQUOT DE NANTES. Hopefully they are planning a second Demy box set.
This could be a mistake, but Criterion's page for VAMPYR says the following
plus a book featuring Dreyer and Christen Jul's original screenplay and Sheridan Le Fanu 1872 story “Carmilla,†a source for the film (Blu-ray only)
Hopefully it isn't a mistake and a Blu will be announced tomorrow.
That VAMPYR listing I mentioned last night was a mistake, it has been corrected to say "a book featuring Dreyer and Christen Jul's original screenplay and Sheridan Le Fanu 1872 story “Carmilla,†a source for the film (first-edition DVD only)"
Thelma Schoonmaker allegedly said during an introduction to a screening of the restored THE TALES OF HOFFMANN that Criterion will be releasing it on Blu-ray in the US. Which, it true, is good news as Lionsgate, no doubt, would have shuffled it out as an Amazon exclusive MOD DVD-R.
Hmm. Scheduled to the halfway mark of 2015 and still no A Brighter Summer Day. I am going to assume yet another year of dark, summerless days.
At last year's Wexner talk, they mentioned that they had completed the special features for it two years ago, but the restoration still wasn't finished.
