Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol.
Fox and His Friends and Black Girl are terrific. I'm not quite sold on His Girl Friday. It's fair, and a good deal better than any of the classic Hollywood releases they've done in the last couple of years. But surely this still has to be the best old Hollywood cover Criterion has produced?

I like them all, but I swear I recognize the fonts on Something Wild from another Criterion.

Maybe the Essential Arthouse series?I like them all, but I swear I recognize the fonts on Something Wild from another Criterion.

I love the cover for Black Girl. I was worried they'd go with an illustration.

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol.
No doubt, but given that those films are deservedly canonical, that many of us don't want or need two formats per title, and most importantly, that we want Criterion to thrive, why not? :-)domino harvey wrote:Man, those movies are just a license for printing money for Criterion

And yet they still won't take my money by issuing the Antoine Doinel boxset on Blu-Ray.

After looking at the cover over time and now the rest of the packaging, I've become a fan of the art work. I think it represents the film just fine.cdnchris wrote:Punch-Drunk Love

Re: Criterion & Eclipse Cover Art & Packaging Babble-on Vol.
I feel like more often than not when a cover is controversial upon initial reveal, this is what ends up happening when the entirety of the packaging is available.

Sometimes, the colors are better in real life. Other times, it's better when part of the whole design rather than the front cover on its own.

Perhaps, but the DVD digipak with all the Jeremy Blake art was still better.

thanks cdnchris...cdnchris wrote:Lone Wolf and Cub
the main cover reminds me the work of French cartoonist Philippe Druillet (who is much more associated to the SF world...)

Apparently the diagram is hidden in the spine of the release, in a "secret compartment".

Wow, I just checked and it is. Would never have spotted it otherwise, someone had to be tipped off about that, it is extremely well hidden
