Criterion’s starts 2025 with 4K on the mind: today brings news that April will bring Sean Baker’s Anora and a Blu-ray of Prince of Broadway alongside releases for Some Like It Hot and two films by Claude Berri, Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring. The former is, of course, one of the most iconic films ever made, non-pareil among comedies of its era; the latter two are far less-known, and even among American Francophiles is Berri hardly mentioned. In their distinct ways does either mark an essential release.
For major catalog titles, Ugetsu, about as notable a Japanese film as any from its era, is upgraded to 4K alongside Chungking Express, albeit (as with In the Mood for Love) likely the 2020 “restoration” because sometimes there’s just no such thing as a free lunch.
