Grandes diretores e títulos obscuros fazem parte do cardápio mais recente da Criterion Collection (como sempre, aliás).
Já lançada anteriormente pela Versátil, a Trilogia do Silêncio de Ingmar Bergman ganha uma nova tiragem justo agora em agosto. O box reúne os três títulos lançados pela Criterion: Através de um Espelho, Luz de Inverno e O Silêncio.
Da trilogia dos diagramas do Abbas Kiarostami saiu Onde Fica a Casa do Meu Amigo? pela Lume e Através das Oliveiras, num box incrível do diretor Kiarostami, pela Obras-Primas.
Ritmo Louco saiu aqui nos primórdios da Obras-Primas do Cinema, quando ainda exibia o selo “Colecione Clássicos”. Bem que a OP poderia lançar esta nova versão, hein?
Guerra e Paz também foi lançada pela OP numa edição linda com três discos e duas horas de extras. Já Filhos da Guerra (tradução do corretor automático para Europa Europa) saiu aqui pela Continental então.. bom, não saiu, né?
Klute saiu pela Warner há um tempão, em uma época em que “menu interativo” era considerado extra. Enquanto isso 1984 foi lançado pela OP em ótima cópia e com bons extras.
Faça a Coisa Certa saiu com extras pela Universal, Um Anjo em Minha Mesa saiu peladim pela Lume Filmes, Sublime Obsessão saiu em edição especial com 2 DVDs pela Versátil (inclusive com esta mesma capa da Criterion) e O Sabor do Chá Verde Sobre o Arroz saiu no terceiro volume da coleção O CINEMA DE OZU.
Para terminar, dois dos três filmes do Fassbinder lançados no box The BRD Trilogy, O Desespero de Veronika Voss e Lola, já saíram há muito tempo pela Versátil. O Casamento de Maria Braun também já saiu no Brasil mas em versões, digamos, “suspeitas”.
Todos os outros filmes listados abaixo mas não citados acima só saíram no Brasil em 4K (kkkk).
