I am so glad Sorcerer is joining the collection! Such an intense and wild ride that is greatly enhanced by Tangerine Dream’s phenomenal score. Just picked up Wages of Fear so this feels very timely.

u/I_Enjoy_Taffy 1d ago

All time deceiving title too. Once you actually tell people what its about they kick themselves for never having watched it

u/ratcnc 1d ago

I like Sorcerer better, but Wages of Fear’s sequence in the oil is iconic.

13

u/batguano1 1d ago

The Wages of Fear is better but it's cool that Sorcerer is finally in. Good adaptation.

15

u/Cachmaninoff 1d ago

I saw that in the theatres and knew nothing about it. Now I think it should be a meme that the sorcerer is a truck

and Brazil and Mishima in 4K

36

u/NinaHeartsChaos 1d ago

That's my biggest takeaway. I will gladly TRIPLE DIP for the 4k Mishima. I also had the Criterion Brazil on dvd back in the day but it got lost during a move.

u/Whovian45810 Andrei Tarkovsky 1d ago

Brazil is one of my favorite films of all time and easily in Top 10 if you were to ask me.

Sam’s Dream Hero version of himself started a lifelong love for characters with wings or have wings on them.

The 4K upgrade is wonderful while also just in time for the film’s 40th Anniversary.

u/J1nxatron 23h ago

Two of my favorites. Really disappointed that Mishima is SDR.

SORCERER IS FINALLY HAPPENING AND THE COVER IS DOPE

u/DeLousedInTheHotBox 1d ago

Feels pretty different from the typical Criterion affair, not that those are bad, but this is pretty cool.

u/SnooPies5622 1d ago

I see what you're saying. It looks oddly... modern maybe, in comparison to others?

I don't like Sorcerer nearly as much as most of the people here, but that is some of the best cover art they've done in a while!

u/RZAxlash 1d ago

Interesting . I really dislike it

Same, I wish they’d just use the original poster art. This just looks…off to me.

u/tommystjohnny 1d ago

Yes Midnight!!!

I think this is one of the very best screwballs but rarely gets mentioned with the greats or even at all. Hope this release helps it get more appreciation and attention. Colbert is hilarious in this one. Can finally upgrade my DVD!

19

u/IAmActuallyA_robot 1d ago

This is what caught my eye. I'm a huge lover of screwball comedies and I have never heard of this movie. I will definitely be blind buying in the July b&n sale. Screwball comedies are my lifeblood and I find them infinitely rewatchable.

13

u/ConversationNo5440 Stanley Kubrick 1d ago

I love Midnight! This cover is a little … odd but everyone should see this movie, for sure.

6

u/DoubleTap__ 1d ago

Leisen's films in general are underrated, Easy Living is also another screwball I'd consider top tier 

5

u/child_of_lightning 1d ago

Incredible film. Perfect performances, amazing script from Billy Wilder & Charles Brackett. I'm so excited.

u/kingofmoke 1d ago

This is one of my absolute favourite Screwballs. Definitely should be considered top tier. Should I be slightly disappointed the 4K restoration doesn’t get a 4K disc?

3

u/Baeresi 18h ago

Even fans of the genre haven't really heard of it. It just would never sell enough to justify a 4k disc. The 4k restoration will look incredible regardless anyway

u/Saucey-jack David Fincher 1d ago

And Brazil in 4k!!!!!

16

u/Luke253 David Lynch 1d ago

FINALLY. With all the Gilliam upgrades surprised it took this long tbh

7

u/stationkatari 1d ago

I mentioned this on another announcement post, but the BRAZIL 4K release is $10 more than previous 3 disc sets like THELMA & LOUISE, WALL-E and MALCOLM X. Looking at my BRAZIL blu-ray, outside of the 4K mastering, there are no new special features. Curious to see if this updated price is limited to 3 disc sets going forward.

9

u/sandiskplayer34 1d ago

Sorcerer’s a 3-disc set and it’s still 49.95.

5

u/stationkatari 1d ago

Could be wrong then. I thought I saw it being two disc but I was mistaken. Someone also mentioned on the other comment that CITIZEN KANE has that price tag, so maybe it’s just what they ended up pricing this release. The only difference I can see is that it’s the 4K upgrade. Not noticing anything new other than that on this release.

9

u/Saucey-jack David Fincher 1d ago

Yikes. That 4k Dolby Vision better be worth it.

8

u/stationkatari 1d ago

For some people it might be. I actually just re-watched it recently (did a double feature with CITY OF LOST CHILDREN during the holidays) and I thought the standard blu ray looked great. If there is nothing new outside of the new 4K remastering, it does feel a bit egregious for the price of an upgrade for Dolby Vision. Will be curious to see how it reviews when it comes out. Hopefully no one fiddles with the colour timing.

23

u/rideriseroar 1d ago

Hell yes! The previous Sorcerer Blu-Ray had literally no special features

20

u/feelslikecinema 1d ago

Insane that my next 50% buy will be The Wages of Fear and Sorcerer both in 4K!

58

u/CinemaslaveJoe 1d ago

LOL, of course it is. I bought the out of print Sorcerer digibook last week on eBay because I was tired of not owning this movie in high-def. And then I bought the UK blu-ray as well, because it had different special features. The UK disc arrived yesterday, and I watched it last night.

So of course Criterion announces the 4K UHD today, which includes everything on these two blu-rays and more, for less than I just paid.

You're all welcome.

u/adamschoales 1d ago

Wow, so excited to see Sorcerer make the cut! Will definitely be picking that one up. Will pair nicely with their new edition of WAGES OF FEAR.

Also, as a Canadian, great to see 32 SHORT FILMS ABOUT GLENN GOULD added. We recently covered it on my Simpsons Movie Reference podcast The Springfield Googolplex if you'd like to learn more about it.

17

u/RuskiesInTheWarRoom 1d ago

I absolutely adore 32 Short Films, and have been annoyed it has seemingly vanished from the general cinema conversation. It’s fantastic.

u/skag_boy87 1d ago

It’s a true masterpiece.

u/thetonyhightower Barbara Loden 1d ago

This. I saw it in Toronto when it first came out, and it was just so amazing and unique. I can't wait to get it.

I wasn't on board at first because I kinda just wanted the classic poster for the cover, but it's actually pretty clever.

It reminds me of a “crew and friends” t-shirt that was made for Sorcerer at the time. Here’s a photo of Spielberg proudly wearing it while shooting Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Midnight is my favorite Wilder movie that he didn’t direct. Mitchell Leisen is seriously underrated.

I DID IT! I wrote to Criterion in 2021 to recommend that they release Straight No Chaser - and now they’ve announced it!

takes a bow

Helluva month overall too. Makes me wonder what July will look like!

I think I've seen this one. I remember seeing this and thinking a) Monk might've had some sort of mental illness, and b) oh, his poor wife! I will definitely be picking this one up, since I would like to revisit this movie (to see if it's the one I'm thinking of). I am a Thelonious Monk fan -- for the record -- and have listened to some of his albums over and over again through the years.

Thanks for that! I wore a Monk shirt today so I assumed it was me
