As much as that makes sense, reportedly the Made in USA print won't tour until the middle of next year, which means if they're paired we probably won't see them until next Fall or Winter. Certainly not the end of the world, but I'd prefer Criterion not sit on Two or Three for that long.domino harvey wrote:About a year and a half ago I think. We've been expecting that one forever! But now that Criterion likely has rights to Made in USA, they'll probably hold off on releasing it until they can do both back to back, as they're sister films.psufootball07 wrote:Didn't 2 or 3 I know about Her make its way around the country with a Janus logo a while back?

I think more to the point is that La Jetee is Marker's best known film by a margin of probably 10 to 1 (still waiting for the Hollywood remake of Sans soleil!), and it was the 'short' that would be the selling point for the majority of buyers. This is probably a unique situation: in every other bundling of features on a single spine number that I can think of (e.g. Thief & Lion, Late Spring & Tokyo-Ga - obviously doesn't apply to the remakes / adaptations sets) the 'bonus feature' is clearly way secondary in terms of importance / saleability.kaujot wrote:The reason for pairing "Sans Soleil" and "La Jetée" is that the latter is quite short and, in Criterion's eyes, didn't necessitate its own spine. Neither was it short enough to be considers a supplement of "Sans Soleil."

I've not got to the disc yet but would this also apply to Trouble In Paradise and The Merry Jail?zedz wrote:This is probably a unique situation: in every other bundling of features on a single spine number that I can think of (e.g. Thief & Lion, Late Spring & Tokyo-Ga - obviously doesn't apply to the remakes / adaptations sets) the 'bonus feature' is clearly way secondary in terms of importance / saleability.

That would be a resounding YES that echoes down the hallway for a full five minute decay!colinr0380 wrote:I've not got to the disc yet but would this also apply to Trouble In Paradise and The Merry Jail?zedz wrote:This is probably a unique situation: in every other bundling of features on a single spine number that I can think of (e.g. Thief & Lion, Late Spring & Tokyo-Ga - obviously doesn't apply to the remakes / adaptations sets) the 'bonus feature' is clearly way secondary in terms of importance / saleability.
Nooooooooooo way would CC ever put out that rather obscure Lube silent all on its own. It's for this very reason that Das fidele Gefängnis is a great and totally unexpected extra.
You must not blink or you might miss a significant chunk of CC's silent catalog!
Trouble In Paradise is truly the king of all Lubitsch DVDs, and one of CC's best ever to be sure. A film that bears endless rewatching with an equally compelling presentation.

Love Paris qui dort (and Entr'acte) a bit more than the features that they were paired with! Just remembered Tout Va Bien/Letter To Jane and Slacker/It's Impossible To Learn To Plow Without Reading Books - supporting features that would be impossible to market or see without being paired up with a more marketable asset (as much as the headline films are marketable in themselves) and which in a way I love more! Not to mention the Tarkovsky version of The Killers!
That is what I love about Criterion - come for the film, stay for the extras!
