>"Contempt", "One Plus One", "Band of Outsiders", + early shorts (J L Godard) Also Weekend. Cause Contempt was fairly recently re-released with a new print, this is probably only a matter of time >"Dog Star Man" (Stan Brakhage) Any Brakhage would be useful on DVD >"The Mother & the Whore" (Jean Eustache) also recently re-released in a new print a few years back >"Solaris" & "Stalker" (Tarkovsky) These are planned for eventual release by Criterion >"Paris, Texas" (Wenders) also something like the long version of Until the End of the World >"Why Does Herr R. Runn Amok?", "Ali: Fear Eats the Soul", "In the Year of 13 >Moons" (Fassbinder) pretty much any Fassbinder would be nice to see on DVD >"Le Samourai", "Les Enfants Terribles", Bob le Flambeur" (Melville) Bob Le Flambeur is out now from Criterion; I'd guess they may do the others eventually, depending on who owns the rights >"Love Affair", "WR: Mysteries of the Organism", "Sweet Movie" (Makavejev) check Facets <http://www.facets.org/> who've recently released these and a couple of other Makvejev films on VHS. They also distribute a lot of things that aren't easily found elsewhere in the US (though they rarely discount anything off of list price). Other films that I'd like to see on DVD include: most of the 70s and 80s Robert Altman things nearly anything by Chantal Akerman: Jeanne Dielmann, The Eighties, Sud, (though I think one or two of her nearly commercial films have come out) Antonioni's Blowup, Red Desert, Notte, Eclipse Robert Ashley's stuff (Perfect Lives, Music with Roots in the Ether, Atalanta, etc) Bertolucci's 1900, Conformist Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark Bunuel's Viridiana, the Mexican films Any of Kiarostami's recent films (besides Taste of Cherry which is out) Makhmalbaf's Nun va Guldoon; Salaam Cinema; Actor Anything by Chris Marker Deepa Mehta's Earth Panahi's Mirror Polanski's Repulsion, Knife in the Water Anything by Satyajit Ray (again some of these were recently re-released with new prints) Mikel Rouse's stuff (Dennis Cleveland, Funding, etc) Tsai's River, There's only a couple of Agnes Varda films available now I'm sure I'm neglecting a lot of other things I'd want to see if they were out. -- Herb Levy P O Box 9369 Fort Worth, TX 76147 herb(a)eskimo.com

* "josephneff" <jneff(a)visuallink.com>: >...in the spirit of the current thread, what would folks >like to see make it to DVD? Here's some of mine.... >"Contempt", "One Plus One", "Band of Outsiders", + early shorts (J L Godard) Pretty sure both "Contempt" (Le Mepris) & "Band of Outsiders" have been out on DVD for a little while... R2 for sure, and def. R1 for "Band à part", unless I'm thinking of "Les Carabiniers", which I know I've seen. >"Solaris" & "Stalker" (Tarkovsky) Quite positive these two are out... Definitive versions though? Did someone mention Criterion? >"Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!" & "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" >(Russ Meyer) These _aren't_ on DVD yet? Damn! >"Le Samourai", "Les Enfants Terribles", Bob le Flambeur" (Melville) I know I've seen "Bob le Flambeur" at the local shop, and maybe "Le Samouraï" too, but the latter could have been the video. -Patrick NP: Brötzmann Tentet - Live Chicago '97

They also have a new box, Coat of Many Cupboards, which is mostly rarities, and AMG says the band may be working on their own "archival release." Also, if someone had wondered where the Brigitte Fontaine Sonic Youth material was, its SYR 6. > Kim Gordon, Ikue Mori, DJ Olive & Jim O'Rourke [kim gordon is the only > thing holding me back on this one] > By all means, let Kim Gordon hold you back on this one. I've found I enjoy both Kim and Thurston's lyrics less and less. I haven't even listened to NYC Ghosts & Flowers after hearing Thurston on the first track. _____________________________________________________________ May peace be the founding unity of all ideologies.

>I wholeheartedly back up the wish for Brakhage >stuff on DVD - has anyone on I've heard that Brakhage is working with Criterion on a two-CD set but have doubts about how true that might be. He has softened his stance on video over the years but this still seems like a leap. Many of his films will create severe problems for the compression technology which is based on repetition. Personally I think there's a nearly endless supply of far more important films but he is a marketable name.

Wrong Rouse URL [was Re: overdue DVD reissues]

My apologies... the URL for Rouse's label is www.mikelrouse.com - www.exitmusic.com is for some band called Exit. I'd just discovered that BEFORE posting, so it's just a moment of stupidity on my part.

Rouse sells a DVD of 'Funding' on his own Exitmusic label, available via www.exitmusic.com.
