Re: Cohen Film Collection
Is there anywhere that's selling The Damned at a decent discount? It doesn't seem to be listed at importcds, and everywhere else seems to be offering a discount of at most about 25-30%.

Re: Cohen Film Collection
It says this is "E1", which would make more sense, because I think this has been licensed from Gaumont (ie. Criterion must have passed?, and Olive must have passed??)rockysds wrote:Rene Clair's "La beauté du diable" on blu-ray October 29th.

E1 must be Cohen's distributor. Cohen have licensed some other titles from Gaumont - The Damned, The Bronte Sisters, Two Men in Manhattanpeerpee wrote:It says this is "E1", which would make more sense, because I think this has been licensed from Gaumont (ie.

Ah, it's just that all those other Blus at Amazon.com are listed as "Studio: Cohen Media Group", but this René Clair Blu is listed as "E1".Calvin wrote:E1 must be Cohen's distributor.

Whenever I find a site with a poor search function, it's usually easier to google "The Damned site:importcds.com".matrixschmatrix wrote:Cool, thanks. I forgot how poorly their search function works.

Re: Cohen Film Collection
Two Men in Manhattan will feature a "conversation between critics Jonathan Rosenbaum and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky." Not two people I'd expect to see talking about Melville, but it should be interesting nonetheless.

Re: Cohen Film Collection
Wow, their Nov slate really looks great!
On a separate note, can somebody ask them to change their cover art for Two Men in Manhattan? It seems that they are not reachable, but they need to know that some of their cover arts really suck, especially this one and the one for The Bronte Sisters!!!

I thought that Thief of Bagdad's cover looked abominable on the computer, but it actually doesn't look bad in person. I think the big C just doesn't work digitally.

Re: Cohen Film Collection
What also sucks - and they have to know this - is the inclusion of start-up trailers of movies absolutely unrelated to the main featurechatterjees wrote:Wow, their Nov slate really looks great!

Re: Cohen Film Collection
I wonder if the Intolerance Blu ray will actually contain the original score by Joseph Carl Briel. It is one of the earliest original film scores to have survived and to have since been reconstructed to play along with the most recent reconstructions of the film itself. Griffith played a major role in designing both the musical themes and the general placement and pacing of the score -- especially as it compares to parallel editing and the frame rate of each reel -- and it would be a shame if CMG went with a new score in place of the readily available (and historically significant) original.

I'm pretty sure that Intolerance will have the Carl Davis score and 'The Mother and the Law' and 'The Fall of Babylon' will have scores by the Mont Alto Orchestra.

Re: Cohen Film Collection
Okay. So now we have the Cohen web site showing a running time of 118 minutes; the New York Times referencing the Cohen restoration at Film Forum as running 167 minutes; and Amazon as showing the upcoming Blu-ray at 197 minutes (which would reflect an acceptable fps, that bete noire of silent film presentations).
What is the officially official running time? Perhaps Cohen could weigh in on this question.

Re: Cohen Film Collection
In all of this Intolerance excitement it seems everyone is overlooking one other interesting nugget. Fires Over England is also a Criterion title; one they've been running on Hulu since the beginning.
