I thought that Face to Face was in criterion but I could be wrong.

[–] mulholland_empire 11 years ago

criterion tried to obtain the rights for face to face but paramount would not budge at the time because of rights issues. then when it virtually became the most sought after bergman film in, 2011 paramount finally cleared up the debacle and lent the rights to olive films who did a not so great job with the dvd.

I'd add `Hedda` 1974 with Glenda Jackson, which doesn't even have a Dvd yet, period. But l like your list. Also, Bergman`s The Emmigrants

[–] Tenebrae81 11 years ago

Great list. Mine is similar.

The Devils, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, and Suspiria NEED to get the royal treatment. It's long overdue.

id like a criterion bluray of polanski's pirates, that would be great.

in fact, an eclipse set of polanski's more abscure wrks like what? pirates, and bitter moon would be fantastic if they would do a bluray release. but dvd is fine by me.
