Somehow during that year or so in my childhood when I was obsessed with Hinton, I never saw this film, so I'm innerested.

Does Criterion have a trade-in policy for all of the movies I already own and that they keep reissuing?

I think they are...Wenders usually licenses his films to Criterion when the rights revert back to him. (Supposedly the long cut of Until The End of The World is coming once Warners license (which prevented that cut from being issued in the US) expires).

Criterion Forum?
Some definitely check out: Janus Films is fixing to tour the Marseille trilogy; Terry Zwigoff said Ghost World was coming; Jeanne Dielman got a resto recently, and Criterion hasn't done a bluray.

I thought the Jeanne Dielman resto was was for the OG criterion? did they rly do another one in the last couple of years???

Someone on another board suggested the cook was for Tampopo.

Is there a good restoration of Stalker that's been released before now? The only versions I've seen desperately needed work

I downloaded the filmstruck app to see what they have in their catalog (not subscribing right now)
AND STALKER IS THERE AS A CRITERION RELEASE
it doesn't let you preview, maybe I'll do the free trial now just to see how it looks
― mh 😏, Wednesday, 4 January 2017 19:02 (seven years ago) link
They just added Me And You And Everyone We Know on Filmstruck as well.

I can't find the info now, but Janus sponsored a 2 or 4K restoration that they toured around the time Akerman died. The original DVD (from 2009) was slightly controversial among fanboys because it was DVD-only when they were starting to do simultaneous Blu/Standard releases, and there were some reports that they used too much compression squeezing the main feature onto one disc, resulting in image issues on higher-end playback systems.

I know they hold their cards a little closer to the vest when it comes to new releases, but do they ever discuss longer-term projections wrt which titles they plan on releasing on Blu-ray? When I see, for example, the OOP Ugetsu DVD selling for hundreds of dollars, I'm torn on whether I should pounce on something like the increasingly-expensive Peeping Tom DVD or whether I should just chance it and wait for a possible future upgrade.
― The Flautist of Flatus (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 28 February 2017 15:11 (seven years ago) link
At this point, it's senseless to spend a lot on their early DVDs, some of which have picture quality that would make old school Koch Lorber blush. (I've had fingers crossed for a Taste of Cherry upgrade for a decade running.)
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Tuesday, 28 February 2017 15:15 (seven years ago) link
There's a more than acceptable Region 2 DVD of Taste of Cherry still in print - multi-region players are your friends:

Barry Jenkins's Criterion closet episode makes me laugh. He has the right approach: take as much as you can until it gets embarrassing, "out of respect for the form."

Yeah, 8-12 seems the most acceptable haul. I do like that Volker Schlondorff only took two movies: L'eclisse and All That Jazz.
