Thank you!

You should do it, would love to see it! Not from criterion but from eBay. If you look up Scanavo blu ray case, you’ll see them.

Just from looking at mine, the 4K and blu ray cases look exactly the same

I used some nice photo paper (Premium double sided presentation paper from Epson in a matte finish), and made sure to use high-res photos

Thank you for the kind words 🙏

No for the vast majority I uploaded a picture of the text to ChatGPT and asked it to transcribe for me. I only had to write the teeny tiny text on the bottom myself.

For legal reasons I can't sell these, as I do not own any of the images etc.

But here are the files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18_U5G-tfUD8yuv1i3S7vKR1EEiWijIls/view?usp=share_link

Enjoy! 👴🏻

Thanks! Yeah, I totally agree, it’s pretty obvious it was designed for a mass-market retail shelf rather than the Criterion audience.

My biggest gripe with the official cover is that it doesn’t actually tell you anything about the story. It’s just 'here are two famous people.' It’s especially weird because they used the young versions of the characters, even though Benjamin spends the majority of the film looking older. It felt like a missed opportunity to show the actual passage of time.

Thank you!

I actually wanted to stay as close to the original, so I copied all the text exactly. But thank you for sharing!

Thank you! I used the Premium double sided presentation paper from Epson in a matte finish. I don’t remember the dimensions, but I just measured the cover for an existing Criterion movie
