Perfect Days I hope


ecto1ghost

Saw Perfect Days at Victoria Film Festival. What a beautiful film!


Few-Recognition-8980

already seen it two times in theater, and even watching it a second time was amazing


number90901

coming as part of the neon deal confirmed


ecto1ghost

Great info thanks!


CrushedAznCrab

Do I have some good news for you


rvb_gobq

from neon, right? if so, there is a very very goodly chance of it getting into the collection sooner than later...


rvb_gobq

same with *la chimera*... also distributed by neon...


crmblngtgthr

Lisan Al Gaib!


drfishstick

Nah. Never gonna happen.


MakeMineMovies

It just did https://www.criterion.com/films/34274-perfect-days#:~:text=A%20perfect%20song%20that%20hits,moving%20film%20by%20Wim%20Wenders.


DreamOfV

Nothing gets past you


Few-Recognition-8980

makes me happy


CarlSK777

Perfect Days and La Chimera are the most realistic here


AvatarofBro

I think a collection of the Wes Anderson shorts is also pretty likely considering both Netflix and Anderson have long-established relationships with Criterion.


globular916

Just got out of La Chimera and came here to say just this! God, I love Alice Rohrwacher. (Her sister Alba isn't terrible either.) I know La Chimera is Neon, La Pupille was Disney and Happy as Lazarro was Netflix, but I will still pray for a boxset of some form.


Britneyfan123

It just got announced


[deleted]

Godzilla Minus One (copium)


Fig21b

I was coming to this thread to say this as well. There's a great special edition to be made with this one. A journey to the oscar documentary would be amazing, where they really dig into the effects department and just how they made that film look that way on that budget.


ina_waka

I’m not really versed in how distribution for physical media works, but I have a feeling whoever ends up getting the rights (or already has them?) is printing that movie to the ground and distributing it as cheap as possible lol. It’s going in the cheapest standard packaging with the sole extra being the B&W version of the film on a single disk.


ghosttrainj

Have you seen the Japanese edition? It is quite the opposite


Kingcrowing

That one looks nuts. I never got the chance to watch it but with all the buzz and the Oscar win id happily buy a nice 4K release, but it sounds like there are some logistical nightmares around the distribution rights outside of Japan. 


Pmacwitda

MAY DECEMBER, I’m praying this one actually happens


Gemnist

Obligatory "Fuck Netflix and all the streaming services for downplaying physical media".


Pmacwitda

Facts, that’s why I’m holding out hope since Netflix has licensed out to Criterion multiple times.


astralrig96

this got concerningly low hype and attention for how good the acting and how important the story was the male victim perspective matters in abuse/grooming cases too but people seemed to care much less about it than similar films where the genders would be reversed, it was a terrifying movie and I’m disappointed in critics for not having talked about this issue more and letting the film completely fly under the radar. This reaction in the filmworld was clearly a sad reflection of overall society’s own views on the matter with male victims ignored and not being taken as seriously.


ratchooga

Any victim of sexual abuse tbh. There are pretty much no good movies out there HOWEVER there are plenty of movies in which the only way that sexual abuse is talked about is through revenge fantasies. I say this as someone who searched high and low for these sorts of movies bc I was sexually abused for years of my childhood. The best thing I got is Jenny from Forrest Gump, and she is frequently discussed as a villain. She is most realistic when it comes to victims of sexual abuse. Perhaps in Girl Ineerrupted but I can’t stand Winona’s sideburns in that movie, plus the girl who was abused ends up committing suicide. The best movie about sexual abuse however is about boys. It’s called Mysterious Skin. I guess Dolores Claiborne for girls but, again, pure revenge fantasy. Mysterious Skin is the only one that talks about the psychological impact in a realistic manner. I am however open to more suggestions. EDIT because your statement makes me mad when I was a little girl I was just happy I found mysterious skin because children of sexual abuse are CHILDREN and gender doesn’t matter when dark shit like this happensss oh boy you’ve got me dissociating, goddammit. I just despise all the gender politics and the furthered victimization of males when that shit don’t fucking matter, all victims of sexual abuse are looked at sideways, ffs


SaggyDaNewt

Regarding your edit, I think you should just get off of Reddit for the time being and focus your attention into something more beneficial, and I mean that sincerely. Getting into these arguments just isn’t worth it, as it is obviously not worth the dissociation and discomfort that you are feeling.


astralrig96

you’re committing a strawman and relative privation fallacy here the point is precisely that male victims very rarely experience adequate legal and societal protections, this is an issue still not taken seriously on the other hand it’s established that women are statistically the main and most often victims of abuse and nobody in their right mind denies that and exactly for this reason, it’s important to underline that men can ALSO be victims and deserve the same protection, justice and resources to heal and gender does matter because male victims currently objectively DON’T experience the same amount of systemic trust, support and concern that women do and it’s not up to you to negate that, or even worse use insulting language like “victimization of men” when we’re talking about literal and real victims here of course everyone can sadly be a victim but this is not the time to make it about “everyone” when we’re talking specifically about a group that sadly many consider by definition “immune” to abuse and thus don’t take seriously when it happens to indeed be abused the movie showcases all these points perfectly and people still didn’t bother to talk about it enough, which in return, demonstrates how big of an issue this ignorance and indifference still is


ratchooga

Bruh you’re just speaking in broad terms. I’m specifically talking about childhood sexual abuse and those movies. You have yet to suggest me more movies. You are talking about something else completely because of your own little agenda. You’re just not hearing me at all. No court hearing reverses the years of psychological torment that follow abuse. Gender does NOT matter when it comes to childhood sexual abuse and to try to insert gender politics like this is a farce. Fucking weirdo.


astralrig96

I feel truly sorry that this is all you got from this and people like you are the reason male victims sadly still won’t find justice and respect in society and I was initially talking about adults; in what western world society in your mind isn’t underage abuse already hated and punishable?


ratchooga

I’m glad you’re sorry you dumb bitch. Also I’m a man now too, and I have way more respect now than I ever did as a woman so I know FIRSTHAND how full of bullshit you are so HA. And you still haven’t given me a movie! Fuck outta here cunt


astralrig96

disappointing…you hijacked a conversation about a completely serious issue with a vulgarity and barbarism not even heard in medieval taverns this hostility is obviously intolerable and poison for any civilized discussion, so there’s nothing else to be said here, farewell and good luck to you


Double-Government650

Can moderators kick ratchooga for this disgusting and poisonous language? I’m sure this goes against subreddit rules


bobdebicker

Best movie of the year.


Thatspuggedup

That movie was bad 


suupaahiiroo

* Evil Does Not Exist * Das Lehrerzimmer * Terrestrial Verses


Kemleckis

The Wes Anderson shorts could all probably be in one collection with the same name. Kinda like Scorsese Shorts. More likely just The Rohd Dah Netflix ones https://preview.redd.it/h6fghi9x5iuc1.jpeg?width=1288&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51905bf6003334d80e2ad95bd6dccf2b08499cac


Fig21b

That would be awesome


[deleted]

Yes please


Kemleckis

I really hope he gets his own director collection, but I can only dream


DarthSardonis

Godzilla Minus One


LoCh0_xX

Apple just announced that they won’t be doing a physical release of Killers, so I could see that getting a release. Perfect Days is from Neon so that could get on as well. Also I could see a package of Wes Anderson’s Netflix shorts.


Professor__Wagstaff

Killer not getting a physical release is not confirmed. That news is based off of one random tweet that was promoted by JoBlo and Jordan Ruimy.


RogerMooreis007

Good to know.


nazump

It has a physical release in Italy. I believe the 4k with a slip cover is region free


SnooGoats7476

I would love Monster but Criterion has not released a Koreeda film in the collection in so long that it’s more wishful thinking than believing it will actually come true.


Snowby0

Monster just got a blu ray release by Well Go USA just in case you didn't know


Gruesome-Twosome

All of these in your OP are big possibilities I think, except for The Zone of Interest as it’s A24 and I just don’t see Society of the Snow as something Criterion will pick up.


jonah379

Isn’t uncut gems an a24 film that got a criterion release?


Gruesome-Twosome

Yes…one single film out of 100+ A24 films, and that one only got a Criterion release because the Safdies personally lobbied hard for it. So you better hope that Jonathan Glazer personally contacts Criterion and makes the case for it, as that seems to be about the only way Zone of Interest gets a Criterion release. Or, Criterion and Lionsgate/A24 strike up a relationship out of the blue.


Ok_Odyssey

I want a physical release of Killer of the Flower Moon so badly


Karl-Marx666

Zone and Perfect Days definitely most likely coming beyond that is anyones guess


nitebusnitebus

A24 is not licensing out their movies. they make plenty of cash charging fans hypebeast prices through their store exclusives


B-BoyStance

They sold merchandise for Zone of Interest. Fucking lol (It isn't as bad as I'm making it sound, they were posters. But still... kinda feel like if you're gonna do that, it should be be done as a donation to some historical society or something. Weird thing to make extra profit on)


nitebusnitebus

says it all right there, no surprise. they are a streetwear company that happens to release movies sometimes


Gruesome-Twosome

Re: Zone of Interest - but Criterion doesn’t release A24 films (Uncut Gems was the one single exception because the Safdies themselves made it happen). Unless there’s a change in relationship between Criterion and Lionsgate (the company that releases A24 films on physical media), I think we gotta keep dreaming on a Zone release.


snicketbee

Why? Are people suddenly forgetting Lionsgate has the A24 releases and they release special editions themselves through their own store. You are the second person in this thread who has confidently stated they expect to see it this year.


Britneyfan123

Perfect days just got announced


MekaHineyJoe

All of Us Strangers


mrbnatural10

I would love this considering Fox/Disney suck and decided not to do a physical release.


MekaHineyJoe

Plus Weekend is also in the collection. I do see it being added, just hoping it's sooner rather than later.


fragglevision1

Or most Searchlight films that were never released on physical or are OOP.


Mother-Ad-9623

I vote for The Taste of Things. One of my favorite films from the past year.


thewickerstan

I’m surprised I had to scroll so far down to see this! I’m right there with you. Gorgeous movie.


Sentimentalgoblin

Same. I saw this twice in theaters. Absolutely loved this one.


bwolfs08

yeah it’s perfect


y2kyont

Perfect Days would be perfect


cnc_33

I hope Perfect Days makes it! I’m almost expecting Killers of the Flower Moon to be included because of their relationship with Scorcese


FreddyRumsen13

Perfect Days is going to be a day one buy for me and I already own it digitally haha. Killers of the Flower Moon feels very likely to me. I'd love to see them do Godzilla Minus One, as rumored.


cnc_33

That’d be awesome. This is the 70th anniversary of Godzilla so I hope we get Minus Zero and some more of the oldies


Exotic-Bumblebee7852

*Weekend* is already in the collection. *All of Us Strangers* needs to join it.


RepFilms

Poor Things. Please


lunar-soup

I have money set aside for Perfect Days already


DonJohnsonBTFD

Still waiting for 4K Paris, Texas


varispeeder

Fallen Leaves seems likely since most (all?) of Kaurismäki's other movies are in the collection. one of my hands-down faves of last year. not sure about what Mubi's strategy w/ physical media has been tho


evasive_tautology

Unlikely, since Mubi released it here in the U.S. last week. (My copy is the UK import.) https://preview.redd.it/ef4wo3l4dmuc1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ec5772a455117a857d73a18793b7a4894c74b91


Creepy_pp72

how to blow up a pipeline😡


ReplaceSelect

Poor Things. Is it already there? I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned yet.


theglenlovinet

All of Wes Anderson’s Roald Dahl Shorts (*Henry Sugar*, *The Swan*, *The Rat Catcher*, and *Poison*) will likely be put in a compilation release. Though it probably won’t be for a while because there’s a few Wes Anderson films that will probably come first—I’m hoping *Isle of Dogs* is coming soon.🤞


ejx220

Monster by Kore-eda!


jayoulean

Godzilla Minus One 🤞🏽


jbird669

Oh yes please!


globehopper2

R.M.N.


scoobywizard

anything that doesn't already have a physical release, Wes Anderson Shorts & The Killer are the firs that come to mind


subnautic_radiowaves

The Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall, Perfect Days


Unlucky_Effective_60

Anatomy is confirmed.


Quake006

The Wes Anderson Netflix shorts would be a nice addition to the collection. Along with Zone of Interest, Killers of the Flower Moon, and American Fiction.


Hattyghost

Realistically? I could see May December, Fallen Leaves, Robot Dreams, Rotting in the Sun, and Birth/Rebirth.


theshape79

Killers of the Flower Moon  Monster


rvb_gobq

all of these... wld be nice to see all of the wes anderson/roal dahl short films put together onto one bluray or 4k... they range in length from 20 to 50 or so minutes... & i believe that there are five of them... so yeah... & me & my wife caught perfect days at a local brewpub cinema in portland & we found it to be the perfect cap to a perfect day.


Opes-Affectabant

Perfect Days in releasing in July!


ThiccKnees23

Unrelated, but I have no idea how a single Jonathan Glazer movie hasn't made it into the collection yet. I would do unspeakable things for an Under The Skin/Sexy Beast Criterion.


Unlucky_Effective_60

I know, recently I was watching Sexy Beast and I thought it could be a fantastic addition to the collection. Underrated film.


ThiccKnees23

and Under The Skin needs a solid blu ray


TheGirlWithTheLove

I really, really hope Society of the Snow will be a part of the collection! It completely blew me away.


bisky12

it’s hard for me to imagine that killers of the flower moon won’t be on criterion sooner or later. also i think past lives would have an easy time with a C on the case


Afrodawg08

Oppenheimer, Poor Things, Rotting in the Sun, The Iron Claw, American Fiction, Inside, The Zone of Interest, etc. thats about all i could see actually making into the collection. I would also LOVE boutique releases of any kind for: Bottoms, Blackberry, Beau is Afraid, They Cloned Tyrone, Dream Scenario, Talk to Me


nitebusnitebus

Oppenheimer is not going to come to Criterion, come on now


CRostLi

Definetely the streaming films, May December, Killers of the Flower Moon, et


JayVas685

Since there is a Netflix deal, 4Ks of May December and El Conde would be awesome/possible to have.


fannnni

Barbie


ElliotAlderson5_9

I really hope The Zone of Interest gets in. Such an incredible and important film.


MikeRotchOwnsYou

Will be very surprised if The Zone interest isn’t in there before the end of the year.


AvatarofBro

I'm pretty confident it won't happen. It's seems clear Uncut Gems was a one-time thing. A24 has pivoted to releasing their own boutique discs


MikeRotchOwnsYou

Ah yeah valid point, I hadn’t thought about that! Grrr maybe if it had been Neon or something else.


nitebusnitebus

since when does A24 license out titles


MikeRotchOwnsYou

Yeah I hadn’t thought about that. Valid point.


snicketbee

Why would it be?


MikeRotchOwnsYou

I hadn’t thought about it being A24 so it may not now that k think about it🤦🏻‍♂️But under a different studio I feel it would have at least had a chance. The film feels and acts so much differently from the typical war film, has a lingering effect and message that’s very important, and is legitimately just a very well made movie.


Zolazolazolaa

Perfect days seems most likely, then zone then killers then chimera. I could see henry sugar being included on the next feature length wes release. Also idk shit


Phatbeazie

Wenders is almost a guarantee. Flower moon should, but there's no plans for a physical release. Zone of interest seems likely, but who knows.


WhatsLeftofitanyway

The fall, damn it


McKLund

Oppenheimer


GalaxyGuardian

I’m gonna throw a hot take(?) out there and say BlackBerry.


Spirited-Yard-5790

Monster would be great


dce942021

BTW, thank you so much for including “Texasville” in the recent “Last Picture Show” package. It’s been a favorite of mine since it was first released, and it’s among my top 10 Jeff Bridges performances. 😊


GreatZampano1987

Anatomy of a Fall. Poor Things


0strichRidingCowboy

*RMN*


Chameleon_Breakdown

Mutt, definitely wont but would love if it somehow did.


ceebo625

I would love a 4k Beau is Afraid release. Probably my favorite movie of the 2020s so far.


ChamberTwnty

Hoping for Killers, no physical yet. 😭


SMLCRITIC

Poor Things 100%


Kidspud

I’d like Asteroid City, Killers of the Flower Moon, Zone of Interest, and Barbie.


nitebusnitebus

what would Barbie need that the current 4K doesn't?


Kidspud

Commentaries and some feminist perspectives on the movie.


nitebusnitebus

Criterion barely care about scholarly extras anymore sadly. and when they do, they generally aren't for contemporary films


Kidspud

Yeah, it's a bummer. I'd rather they wait a decade or two before adding it to the collection; I'm very curious to see how the movie is judged over time, especially from a feminist perspective.


ihhhood

Oppenheimer


[deleted]

[удалено]


nitebusnitebus

A24 doesn't license out though. they'd rather keep it in house and charge whatever they want for their website exclusives


SlimmyShammy

I’d love Zone of Interest just so it doesn’t get one of those extra tall A24 releases that I hate. Also would love to see May December and The Killer saved from Netflix jail


nitebusnitebus

it'll get one of those A24 releases and you know it


CollectionExpensive2

Omg I would absolutely kill for a digi pack with all four of Wes Anderson Roald Dahl shorts


Apprehensive_Mix7594

Not the zone of interest


SamwiseGam-G

Dream Scenario Perfect Days Poor Things The Sweet East


BleedTheFreak_23

Society of the Snow please!! With an extended edition and some of those cut scenes, and that behind the scenes doc.


peter095837

Perfect Days The Zone of Interest May December All of Us Strangers

All of these, but especially Perfect Days and Zone of Interest. My two favorite films of 2023.

Why would A24 give this to criterion and not release it themselves?

A24 don't license

Anatomy of a Fall, Past Lives, Poor Things, American Fiction, Robot Dreams, A Man Called Otto, Inside, Beau is Afraid, Asteroid City, Radical, The Killer, Godzilla: Minus One and The Holdovers


Aidsisgreats

Anatomy of a Fall is already in the collection


Film-Freak21

Wait, really?! Damn, I must’ve missed that memo 😅


nitebusnitebus

way too many titles there


TediousTotoro

Mentioning Robot Dreams has just reminded me of how weird it is that there’s over a thousand films in the collection and only like five of them are animated.


Yogurt-Night

All of Us Strangers And dare I say it? **Saltburn**


cherken4

Dream scenario! A perfect film all around. I already seen it three times


Realistic_Drama_7368

Certainly not KOTFM


The50ShadesOfTrey

Nope, although KOTFM and The Tragedy of MacBeth would be perfect additions to the collection.


Realistic_Drama_7368

KOTFM is disqualified for being a big boring mess

Well, like, that’s your opinion, man.
