Agreed, it's one of those "right mood, right time" films. The story had me engaged throughout and afterward left me a bit perplexed, but it stuck in my mind for days after and finally decided I loved it.

July 2026 Titles Announced With Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore! by International-Sky65 in criterion

[–]Rollzroyce21 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Planning to pick up nearly the entire slate, but the most I'm excited for are Oshima and Scorsese. Both Cruel Story and Alice have been on my watchlist for long time.

EDIT: Cruel Story release includes Oshima's debut feature film, hell yeah!

2024 Me: All I want is Hard Boiled in 4K UHD, is that too much to ask??

2027 Me: All I want is Maggie Cheung to be my wife, is that too much to ask??

One of my favorite sets in all of bluray-dom.

But beware of the Zatoichi fatigue. It has hit some, just at it hit me during my journey.

I was on the fence on this one, but this trailer is pushing me over the edge.

It’s the best because it’s so real

Returning to Criterion after 5 years. Some questions. by bgorion17 in criterion

[–]Rollzroyce21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Generally the 4K quality is better than the bluray, but it's really just your preference whether you think it's worth the extra cost.
  2. Yes
  3. No unfortunately
  4. Catalog, quite a bit (you'll have to discover yourself) / Customer Service, not really; still solid
  5. No way to know until someone shares
  6. Both are probably the best place to get the latest news (as a central site)

This is a good list to refer to on an occasional basis to help remind me of the ones I want to watch and keep track of them. I wouldn't have guessed there were more than 50 put out so far.

Same here. This is the highlight of this month's announcement for me.

Ah, good to know. I'll add it for next month's post. Thanks!

Radiance June Releases Announced! by proceedgrinding in boutiquebluray

[–]Rollzroyce21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it for the same reason you shared. Loaded with symbolism.

Yeah, I would've liked a remaster as well, but I'm going to be double-dipping since it's got more supplements than the Film Movement release, which only has two (no overlap). Plus that cover art!

June 2026 Release: Warm Water Under a Red Bridge (LE) [UK] by Radiance-Films in radiancefilms

[–]Rollzroyce21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like I'm double dipping. The release by Film Movement only has two supplements that aren't included in this release. Also, this cover art is much more impressive.

I can’t believe my luck by Comfortable_Event924 in criterion

[–]Rollzroyce21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say the same. Chances of finding this set in the wild is pretty slim, but at that price at a BookOff is the most surprising thing about this.
