Criterion anuncia sus lanzamientos previstos para el próximo Julio:
The Killers
http://images3.static-bluray.com/mov...148_medium.jpg
Ernest Hemingway's simple but gripping short tale "The Killers" is a model of economical storytelling. Two directors adapted it into unforgettably virile features: Robert Siodmak, in a 1946 film that helped define the noir style and launch the acting careers of Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner; and Don Siegel, in a brutal 1964 version, starring Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, and John Cassavetes, that was intended for television but deemed too violent for home audiences and released theatrically instead. The first is poetic and shadowy, the second direct and harsh as daylight, but both get at the heart of Hemingway's existential classic.
The Killers (1946)
The first screen incarnation of Ernest Hemingway's short story "The Killers" came in 1946, when director Robert Siodmak unleashed The Killers, helping to define the film noir style and launching the careers of Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner.
The Killers (1964)
Ernest Hemingway's short story "The Killers" has fascinated readers and filmmakers for generations. In 1964, Don Siegel—initially slated to direct the 1946 version—took it on, creating the first-ever made-for-TV feature.
Special Features:
New high-definition digital restorations of both films, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks on the Blu-rays
Andrei Tarkovsky's short film adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's "The Killers," made when he was a student in 1956
Interview from 2002 with writer Stuart M. Kaminsky about both films
Piece from 2002 in which actor Stacy Keach reads Hemingway's short story
Screen Director's Playhouse radio adaptation from 1949 of the 1946 film, starring Burt Lancaster and Shelley Winters
Interview from 2002 with actor Clu Gulager
Audio excerpt from director Don Siegel's autobiography, A Siegel Film, read by actor and director Hampton Fancher

Hiroshima mon amour
http://images2.static-bluray.com/mov...958_medium.jpg
A cornerstone of the French New Wave, the first feature from Alain Resnais is one of the most influential films of all time. A French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) and a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada) engage in a brief, intense affair in postwar Hiroshima, their consuming mutual fascination impelling them to exorcise their own scarred memories of love and suffering. With an innovative flashback structure and an Academy Award–nominated screenplay by novelist Marguerite Duras, Hiroshima mon amour is a moody masterwork that delicately weaves past and present, personal pain and public anguish.
Special Features:
New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray
Audio commentary by film historian Peter Cowie
Interviews with director Alain Resnais from 1961 and 1980
Interviews with actor Emmanuelle Riva from 1959 and 2003

Here's Your Life
http://images4.static-bluray.com/mov...592_medium.jpg
This mesmerizing debut by the great Swedish director Jan Troell (The Emigrants, The New Land) is an epic bildungsroman and a multilayered representation of early twentieth-century Sweden. Based on a series of semi-autobiographical novels by Nobel Prize winner Eyvind Johnson, Here Is Your Life follows a working-class boy's development, from naive teenager to intellectually curious young adult, from logger to movie projectionist to politically engaged man of the people—all set against the backdrop of a slowly industrializing rural landscape. With its mix of modernist visual ingenuity and elegantly structured storytelling, this enchanting film—presented here in its original nearly three-hour cut—is a reminder that Troell is one of European cinema's greatest and most sensitive illuminators of the human condition.
Special Features:
New 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray
New introduction by filmmaker Mike Leigh
New conversation between director Jan Troell and film historian Peter Cowie
New interviews with actor Eddie Axberg and producer and screenwriter Bengt Forslund

The Black Stallion
http://images3.static-bluray.com/mov...593_medium.jpg
This remarkable adaptation of Walter Farley's classic children's novel by Carroll Ballard—in which an American boy is rescued after a shipwreck off the coast of North Africa by a seemingly untamable wild horse—is a cinematic tour de force. From the crystalline shores of a deserted island in the Arabian Sea to the green grass and dusty roads of 1930s suburban New York, Ballard and director of photography Caleb Deschanel create a film of consistent visual invention and purity, also featuring a winning supporting performance by Mickey Rooney as a retired jockey and a gorgeous score by Carmine Coppola.
Special Features:
New 4K digital transfer, supervised by director of photography Caleb Deschanel, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray
Five short films by Carroll Ballard, with introductions by the director: Pigs! (1965), The Perils of Priscilla (1969), Rodeo (1969), Seems Like Only Yesterday (1971), and Crystallization (1974)

My Beautiful Laundrette
http://images2.static-bluray.com/mov...373_medium.jpg
Stephen Frears was at the forefront of the British cinematic revival of the mid-1980s, and the delightfully transgressive My Beautiful Laundrette is his greatest triumph of the period. Working from a richly layered script by writer Hanif Kureishi, soon to be internationally renowned, Frears tells an uncommon love story that takes place between a young South London Pakistani man (Gordon Warnecke), who decides to open an upscale laundromat to make his family proud, and his childhood friend, a skinhead (Daniel Day-Lewis, in a breakthrough role), who volunteers to help make his dream a reality. This culture-clash comedy is also a subversive work of social realism, which dares to address racism, homophobia, and sociopolitical marginalization in Margaret Thatcher's England.
Special Features:
New, restored 2K digital transfer, supervised by director of photography Oliver Stapleton, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray
New conversation between director Stephen Frears and producer Colin MacCabe
New interviews with writer Hanif Kureishi, producers Tim Bevan and Sarah Radclyffe, and Stapleton

Moonrise Kingdom
http://images.static-bluray.com/movi...607_medium.jpg
An island off the New England coast, summer of 1965. Two twelve-year-olds, Sam and Suzy, fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As local authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing offshore . . . Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom stars Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as the young couple on the run, Bruce Willis as Island Police Captain Sharp, Edward Norton as Khaki Scout troop leader Scout Master Ward, and Bill Murray and Frances McDormand as Suzy's attorney parents, Walt and Laura Bishop. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Bob Balaban. The magical soundtrack features the music of Benjamin Britten.

No me parece descabellado contactar con Criterion para hacerlos saber que incluir en su subtitulado el español (ellos no conocen la diferencia entre castellano y español), sería muy adecuado. E incluso sopesar la inclusión de otras bandas de subtitulado. Su vocación es mundial. Editan títulos de todas partes. Creo que si se lo hiciéramos saber quizás se lo plantearía. Un mail no es digno de debate, pero muchos quizás sí. Yo ya se lo he enviado.
Saludos a tod@s
Ojalá, pero esta gente lleva ya muchos años en el negocio como no haberse dado cuenta de que la falta de otros subtitulados ( especialmente en castellano ) les hace vender muchísimo menos, y si no los incluyen es porque no quieren, ó bien no pueden hacerlo por temas de derechos.
Es una cuestión de mercado, incluso de marca. También van bloqueados los discos a zona A, y eso tampoco interesa cambiarlo (aunque a priori parezca una contradicción).
Criterion solo compra los derechos para la distribución y comercialización de sus DVDs y BDs en los Estados Unidos y Canadá. A diferencia de los estudios de Hollywood como Fox, Warner. LionsGate o Sony, Criterion NO es dueña de las películas que distribuye, sólo es un licenciatario. Ellos compran los derechos para ese mercado en particular, por contrato no pueden incluir subtítulos en otros idiomas porque los derechos lo tienen otras compañías en diversos países. Por ejemplo en mi país muchas de las ediciones de Criterion las edita Zima, empresa que paga por el derecho (licencia) a la inclusión de subtítulos en español (Y doblaje si quisieran), pero a su vez Zima NO puede por contrato incluir subtítulos en inglés. En España serán otros compañías las que tengan los derechos, en Brasil, Alemania, etc. otras.
Los estudios de Hollywood al ser dueños universales de sus películas pueden incluir los subtítulos y doblajes que quieran, pero en el caso de Criterion la cosa no es tan sencilla, primero tendrían que comprar las licencias para incluir subtítulos o doblajes en otros idiomas, luego abrir una empresa distribuidora en los países para los cuáles compraron los derechos, o aliarse con una distribuidora local (como lo suelen hacer en Canadá con Entertainment One) lo cual significa un doble gasto. En resumen, seguramente no les resulta atractiva ni redituable la inversión, sobretodo porque no venden cine comercial.
A mí lo que me jode es el bloqueo de región, cosa mala, aunque Pachucho ha dado razones bastante buenas.

THE COMPLETE LADY SNOWBLOOD
A young woman (Meiko Kaji), trained from childhood as an assassin and hell-bent on revenge for her father's murder and her mother's rape, hacks and slashes her way to gory satisfaction. Rampant with inventive violence and spectacularly choreographed swordplay, Toshiya Fujita's pair of influential cult classics Lady Snowblood and Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance, set in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Japan, respectively, are bloody, beautiful extravaganzas composed of one elegant widescreen composition after another. The first Lady Snowblood was a major inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill saga, and both of Fujita's films remain cornerstones of Asian action cinema.Lady SnowbloodGory revenge is raised to the level of visual poetry in Toshiya Fujita's stunning Lady Snowblood. A major inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill saga, this endlessly inventive film, set in late nineteenth-century Japan, charts the single-minded path of vengeance taken by a young woman (Meiko Kaji) whose parents were the unfortunate victims of a gang of brutal criminals. Fujita creates a wildly entertaining action film of remarkable craft, an effortless balancing act between beauty and violence.Lady Snowblood: Love Song of VengeanceMeiko Kaji returns in Toshiya Fujita's invigorating sequel to his own cult hit Lady Snowblood. Our furious heroine is captured by the authorities and sentenced to death for the various killings she has committed; however, she is offered a chance of escape—if she carries out dangerous orders for the government. More politically minded than the original, Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance is full of exciting plot turns and ingenious action sequences.

RISO AMARO
During planting season in Northern Italy's Po Valley, an earthy rice-field worker (the seductive Silvana Mangano) falls in with a small-time criminal (Vittorio Gassman) who is planning a daring heist of the crop, as well as his femme-fatale-ish girlfriend, played by the Hollywood star Doris Dowling. Both a socially conscious look at the hardships endured by underpaid field workers and a melodrama tinged with sex and violence, this early smash for producer extraordinaire Dino De Laurentiis and director Giuseppe De Santis is neorealism with a heaping dose of pulp.
Special Features:
- New high-definition digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray
- Giuseppe de Santis, a 2007 documentary by screenwriter Carlo Lizzani

THE AMERICAN FRIEND
Wim Wenders pays loving homage to rough-and-tumble Hollywood film noir with The American Friend, a loose adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel Ripley's Game. Dennis Hopper oozes quirky menace as an amoral American art dealer who entangles a terminally ill German everyman, played by Bruno Ganz, in a seedy criminal underworld as revenge for a personal slight—but when the two become embroiled in an ever-deepening murder plot, they form an unlikely bond. Filmed on location in Hamburg and Paris, with some scenes shot in grimy, late-seventies New York City, Wenders's international breakout is a stripped-down crime story that mixes West German and American film flavors, and it features cameos by filmmakers Jean Eustache, Samuel Fuller, and Nicholas Ray.
Special Features:
- New, restored 4K digital transfer, supervised by director Wim Wenders, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray
- Audio commentary from 2002 featuring Wenders and actor Dennis Hopper

GILDA
"Gilda, are you decent?" Rita Hayworth tosses her hair back and slyly responds, "Me?" in one of the great star entrances in movie history. Gilda, directed by Charles Vidor, features a sultry Hayworth in her most iconic role, as the much-lusted-after wife of a criminal kingpin (George Macready), as well as the former flame of his bitter henchman (Glenn Ford), and she drives them both mad with desire and jealousy. An ever-shifting battle of the sexes set on a Buenos Aires casino's glittering floor and in its shadowy back rooms, Gilda is among the most sensual of all Hollywood noirs.
Special Features:
- New 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray
- Audio commentary from 2010 by film critic Richard Schickel
- New interview with film noir historian Eddie Muller

INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS
The visionary chroniclers of eccentric Americana Joel and Ethan Coen present one of their greatest creations in Llewyn Davis, a singer barely eking out a living on the peripheries of the flourishing Greenwich Village folk scene of the early sixties. As embodied by Oscar Isaac, in a revelatory performance, Llewyn (loosely modeled on off-the-radar folk legend Dave Van Ronk) is extraordinarily talented but also irascible, rude, and self-defeating. Our man's circular odyssey through an unforgiving wintry cityscape, evocatively captured by cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel, is realized with poignant humor and the occasional surreal touch. Featuring a folk soundtrack curated by T Bone Burnett, Inside Llewyn Davis reminds us that in the Coens' world, history isn't necessarily written by the winners.
Special Features:
- New 4K digital transfer, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray
- New audio commentary featuring writers Robert Christgau, David Hajdu, and Sean Wilentz
- The First Hundred Feet, the Last Hundred Feet, a new conversation between filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and directors Joel and Ethan Coen about the evolution of their approach, from Blood Simple to Inside Llewyn Davis
- Inside "Inside Llewyn Davis," a forty-five-minute 2013 documentary
- Another Place, Another Time (2014), a 101-minute film documenting an Inside Llewyn Davis tribute concert, featuring Joan Baez, Mumford & Sons, Punch Brothers, Gillian Welch, Jack White, and others
- New piece on the history of "Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song)," featuring music producer T Bone Burnett and the Coens
- New piece about Dave Van Ronk and the Greenwich Village folk scene of the early sixties, featuring music writer and historian Elijah Wald
- Sunday, a short 1961 documentary by Dan Drasin about the riots that took place in Washington Square Park after folk musicians were prevented from gathering and playing there

Ver aquí a Gilda me ha descolocado. Totalmente.
Pues he de decir que a mi también me ha descolocado "Gilda". Un título emblemático de la Historia del Cine. Ciertamente, la edición europea no tiene una restauración tan buena como la de "La Dama de Shanghai" (aunque visto que también la vendió a TCM, no me debería sorprender tanto), pero esperaba que Sony tuvieran la "decencia" de vender este título bien restaurado. Desde luego, compraré la edición de Criterion, habida cuenta que ellos sí restauran a conciencia sus películas, pero da rabia no tener una edición mundial de un clásico atemporal. En fin, está claro que el Cine ha muerto. Sólo existe el Dinero. El Arte no debería estar tan manipulado y tan sometido al mercado.
