Lá vai a lista de julho no último dia do mês! 😀
Seis produções com dois ícones do Cinema, Marlene Dietrich e Josef von Sternberg, todas feitas em Hollywood na década de 1930, são lançados em um box (aparentemente sem extras) pela Criterion. Os filmes são os seguintes (seguidos pelo ano e por qual distribuidora já saiu no Brasil):
– Marrocos (1930) – Classicline, Continental
– Desonrada (1931) – Nenhuma
– O Expresso de Shanghai (1932) – SilverScreen
– A Vênus Loura (1932) – Silverscreen
– A Imperatriz Vermelha (1934) – Classicline
– A Mulher Satânica (1935) – Silverscreen
Dragon Inn (1967) é o filme que o diretor King Hu fez depois do aclamado A Tocha de Zen (que saiu aqui pela Obras Primas em DVD). Dragon Inn segue inédito na terra da jaboticaba mas quem sabe a Obras Primas não se anima a lançar também?
Sorte no Amor (1988), do diretor especializado em filmes esportivos Ron Shelton (ele mesmo ex-jogador de beisebol ) e com Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon e Tim Robbins. Saiu por aqui pelaMGM/Fox com extras e pela Signature Pictures também com extras (no caso, a embalagem e o próprio filme).
Sexo, Mentiras e Videotape (1989), primeiro filme do Steven Soderbergh (que tinha tenros 26 anos na época), é um dos únicos filmes, desde que escrevo esta coluna há um ano, que já saiu não só em DVD como em Blu-Ray por aqui, pela Sony. Pelados, mas saíram. Se bem que, com este título até faz sentido eles terem saído pelados… Há-há.
Para terminar, o clássico Neste Mundo e no Outro (1946), de Michael Powell e Emeric Pressburger e com David Niven, já saiu por aqui em DVD pela Versátil, sem extras
