THE OFFICIAL CRITERION COLLECTION MYSPACE PAGE

Check out the new criterion.com! We hope you like it. We couldn’t have built it without our friends in Palo Alto, The Auteurs. You’ll find plenty of new things to do at the new criterion.com, and some old favorites making a comeback.

To help you find your way around, Jason Polan, our friend with the pen, made us this little orientation video:

Welcome to Criterion’s Online Cinematheque


We'd love to hear from you! However, we can't keep up with correspondence through MySpace. If you want to contact us, please email Jon Mulvaney at mulvaney@criterion.com and title suggestions to suggestions@criterion.com.



ABOUT CRITERION

The Criterion Collection, a continuing series of important classic and contemporary films, is dedicated to gathering the greatest films from around the world and publishing them in editions that offer the highest technical quality and award-winning, original supplements. Criterion began with a mission to pull the treasures of world cinema out of the film vaults and put them in the hands of collectors. All of the films published under the Criterion banner represent cinema at its finest. In our twenty-three years, we've seen a lot of things change, but one thing has remained constant: our commitment to publishing the defining moments of cinema in the world's best digital editions.

The foundation of the collection is the work of such masters of cinema as Renoir, Godard, Kurosawa, Cocteau, Fellini, Bergman, Tarkovsky, Hitchcock, Fuller, Lean, Kubrick, Lang, Sturges, Dreyer, Eisenstein, Ozu, Sirk, Bunuel, Powell and Pressburger. Each film is presented uncut, in its original aspect ratio, as its maker intended it to be seen. For every disc, we track down the best available film elements in the world, use state-of-the-art telecine equipment and a select few colorists capable of meeting our rigorous standards, and take time during the film-to-video digital transfer to create the most pristine possible image and sound. Whenever possible, we work with directors and cinematographers to assure that the look of our releases does justice to their intentions. Our supplements enable viewers to appreciate Criterion films in context, through audio commentaries by filmmakers and scholars, restored director's cuts, deleted scenes, documentaries, shooting scripts, early shorts, and storyboards. To date, more than 150 filmmakers have made our Director Approved library of laserdiscs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs the most significant archive of contemporary filmmaking available to the home viewer.

Hal Ashby's Oscar-nominated Woody Guthrie biopic "Bound For Glory" (1976). It's got everything Criterion goes for: classic film, great director and it's music on film about a legend on film.

I can't wait until the release of Oshima's 1976 masterpiece, "In The Realm of the Senses", in April.

Criterion has saved my life.

With the Paramount deal and other studios joining your bandwagon i.e. Sony, Warner, etc. A Criterion Blu-Ray of The Quiet Man would complete me. I know it needs a major overhaul, but I swear I will buy 10 copies and give them away. Are you listening Criterion, The Quiet Man.....PLEASE!!!!!

I can't wait until the new 2-disc re-issue of "The Seventh Seal" in June. You have made my dreams come true. If there's nothing else I can look forward, I'll always know that I can forward to Criterion.

Hello from Scotland.

Thank you for allowing us onto your page.
'Criterion' is undoubtedly the greatest DVD label of the age. Your restorations and supplementary materials are second to none. Thanks to yourselves I finally 'got' La Regle Du Jeu and 8 1/2, saw L'Aventurra in a new light, and discovered I Know Where I'm Going. But my two favourite Criterion discs must be your Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas double disc set which is just incredible; and your heartbreaking restoration of Les Enfants Du Paradis.

Utterly magnificent.
Take care,
~Lost Gloaming~

I want your Walkabout blu-ray and I want the sh*t NOW!!!!!!! And ChungKing Express.
And The Last Emperor (even though I just bought the 4DVD set).
I hate it.
I am so poor and you are NOT helping my situation.

It's still a mystery to me that we Europeans let YOU do the great work when it's about OUR movie treasures.
Still: I love you a little bit more for that each and every day!
