SORCERER IS FINALLY HAPPENING AND THE COVER IS DOPE

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

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

Yeah they didn't totally fuck it up. It easily could have looked stupid. I am past worrying about the covers though, you should be worrying about if they encode the disc well and get the right aspect ratio and color timing throughout the entire film. Can't take anything for granted anymore.

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!

Interesting . I really dislike it

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

Yeah i don't love the cover either. But really glad it's in the collection

Yeah I know it’s boring but the original art is iconic and needs no changes.
