Re: Kino
As per the Blu-ray.com forums, according to Mr Lime the Lang collection will be 12 discs and contain
HARA KIRI (1919)
THE SPIDERS (1919/1920)
THE WANDERING SHADOW (1920)
FOUR AROUND THE WOMAN (1921)
DESTINY (1921)
DR. MABUSE THE GAMBLER (1922)
DIE NIBELUNGEN (1924)
METROPOLIS (1927)
SPIES (1928)
WOMAN IN THE MOON (1929)
He also seems to be pointedly ignoring questions about whether the three exclusives will ever get individual releases.

Ugh, I don't want to buy nine movies I have better editions of to get the three early ones on blu. Hopefully they'll just do a straight blu ray edition of the box set those three were originally in.

Re: Kino
Didn't they do a sounding out a couple of years back to evaluate potential interest in a MoC Lang blu box that didn't inspire them to continue with the project?swo17 wrote:If HD masters exist, I imagine it's only a matter of time before MoC puts out all the earlier films.

Will Kino release the new restos of Love and Anarchy and The Seduction of Mimi or is the 2012 box set everything that we will get when it comes to those two?

Re: Kino
Swept Away. I saw this again last night, watching the new blu (which looks terrific - really a different experience from the old LW Collection dvd). Anyway, as much as I was underwhelmed revisiting Seven Beauties a week prior, this really made me appreciate how strong a director Wertmüller could be. It's understandable that the film should have caused so much controversy upon release during the peak of the women's movement, but now with all that distance it's obvious that W was having fun satirizing every ideological position and perspective - opposing not only politics (communist vs. "Social Democrat", i.e capitalist liberal) and gender (chauvinist male vs. progressive female), but also class (rich vs. working class) and geographical background/ethnicity (northerner vs. southerner) - and exploring if it's possible to cast off one's social identity to find something deeper.
Gennarino's revenge and physical beating of Raffaella goes on a bit much, but it's obviously exaggerated because of the national comedic tradition the film is steeped in and, perhaps more significantly and more relevant to the film's themes, it shows how, sadly, it's Gennarino who in the end is truly the biggest prisoner of his mental constructs and who, tragically, loses out and ruins something special because of that. The film is really both funny and moving in the end, and with its slight L'Avventura associations (the yacht in the Mediterranean, the isolated island, the hut on the island) it's a visually gorgeous movie, which this blu really brings out.
