Please, do not hold back from reissuing all the previously released Buñuel titles on Blu-ray, Especially The Phantom of Liberty. I won't hold it against Criterion for following up Belle de jour with Tristana, however. I'll simply do a backflip and preorder it, as well. Keep them coming!

Saw this today actually. My first two reasons would be the same, my third would be the real life clashing with the fantasy. Lovely film, and I too would love to see more Buñuel bluray releases!
Tristana would be great. But how about some early bunuel my choices los olvidados, nazarin,the criminal life of archibaldo de la cruz. The last is my guilty pleasure in the bunuel oeuvre.
For anyone, who is not a Bunuel scholar already, check out the book: The Films of Luis Bunuel:Subjectivity and Desire, by Peter William Evans, Oxford Press. Hopefully, this in depth tome is not out of print.

It would be nice to see a better translation of Sami Swoi or Our Folks.
At times through out the film there are no subtitles at all.
Also there are miss spellings like hello being mistaken for the Hallo the German word for hello.
But no this is not a German film.
It's Polish and it's made in 1967.
Please Criterion restore this film as best as you can!
Also on the back of the version of my case that I have is totally written in Polish except for a little English that it mentions that it's a comedy.
Length 80mins.
Also here's the version of the film I have so you know which one to restore.

Thanks for listening I hope you do restore this one at it's best.

“"Benjamin Button" is one of the least gratuitous movies I've ever seen, it's so well-constructed. I felt as if the whole movie was 'ephemeral', not just the Cape Canaveral scene. ”
