I have been a collector of Criterions since 1998 (though not a completist) and I have searched for a channel like yours for years and am thrilled to have found it. I really appreciate the fact that you have actually seen most if not all the films you talk about. Most collectors on youtube never watch the films (some never even open them) and end up giving reviews simply by reading the back of the Criterion case, then put them back on the shelf to collect dust. This is very frustrating as I am picky as to which I choose to buy, and I look for strong recommendations. Now, with your channel, I have finally found THE place to get the information I need on potential future purchases! This is now my favourite channel... thank you so much for your videos.
Dear K S, hello again!
Thank you so much for this very kind and considerate comment that you made. I am so thrilled, especially because you are obviously a Criterion collector and expert. It really means a lot.
I apologize for my lack of organization with my channel at the moment, because I have only just been active for the past couple months... I am only now beginning to find "my style" so to speak. I will try not to let you and other fellow Criterion fans down.
By the way, may I ask, what are some of your favorite films, Criterion or otherwise? I would love to know.
(Also, if you are on Facebook, please feel free to connect with me there as well.)
I should say to that I have seen most of the CC films, but I am far from being able to talk about all of them, but that is what is so great about Criterion... one can watch and then learn so much more.... Keep watching great cinema.
Best regards. --Daisuke
The Eclispe series is a really great way to get a lot of films for very cheap. But I cant help but feeling that many will get Blu-ray releases in the coming years. Film restoration technology has grown by leaps and bounds in the last 10 years that films thought to be un-salvageable then, could now be seen in a new light. Especially stuff from Bergman, Kurosawa, Ozu, Kobayashi, etc. Whether its by Criterion themselves, Eureka, BFI, Kino, Toho, etc... Only time will tell
Great video, thank you!
It may be blu ray, or, perhaps, they will all be made available on streaming services. I don't have FilmStruck, but I gather that many of the Eclipse films are already available there, and there are even more films made available as well....
Interesting, i've heard about good things about that site, but I am not much of a streamer. I prefer physical versions, but it is a cheap way to tray different films without dropping $30 or so on a disc.
Yes, you and I seem to be of the same mindset. I have always been a physical media guy myself. However, if streaming becomes more prevalent here in Japan (which it already is), then I might have to "take the plunge". However, FilmStruck is not officially available in Japan, and so I use that as my reason not to pursue getting any streaming service subscription.
But the FilmStruck streaming service appears to be extremely worth it, not least of which because of the great wealth of films that are available (much more so than the number of titles available on Criterion physical media, as well as a number of titles that are not available at all in physical medium form.)
I could just listen to the audio, and still enjoy your videos.
Thank you very much! You are very kind to say so. Take care and cheers!
I recently watched A Colt Is My Passport, and I am definitely going to pick up the Nikkatsu Noir set as soon as possible! Thank you for this video, and keep up the amazing work you do. It is a pleasure to hear you speak.
Hello and thank you so much for the comment! A Colt Is My Passport! Yes, if you can, and if you are into the Eclipse sets, the Nikkatsu Noir set is fantastic.
And thank you so much for such kind words. It is my pleasure to do this CZcams channel if it means being able to meet great film enthusiasts like yourself. Cheers my friend!
I wish they still did this series, it was great for lesser known films of great directors in particular.
Thank you so much and yes, I agree. I wish this series of releases could continue.
Good survey, I had thought there had been more.
KMO 325 thank you so very much! You are watching some of my older videos as well!! This makes me very happy.
I'm in love with your channel and your content! Really great stuff! I'd love to see you do some reviews of eclipse sets - especially the Japanese ones (I'm not sure whether to buy the Kobayashi, the Oshima, or the Nikkatsu Noir set!)
Thank you very much, Bruce Wayne. That is a fabulous idea. Let me figure out some review materials. Please forgive me if it takes me a while.
To answer your question now, though, just in case you are able to access the Barnes & Noble sale, those sets are really very different and each is really fascinating. I love all of them, but if I had to pick only one... I would give the slight edge to the Nikkatsu Noir set. But that is my opinion and I am sure others will disagree with me.
I desperately want the Shepitko set. I saw Wings was in Paul Schrader's criterion top 10, and I thought at first it was the 1927 film. When I read up on it on the website, I became fascinated and I'd love to see it
Eric Peeper yes. It is not the 1927 film, but it is a great film and such a fascinating Eclipse set. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it if you see those films.
Eric Peeper I should also ask, is the set something that you can get easily now? It is not a large set and so I should think that it relatively cheaper in price. What do you think?
Thanks for the fantastic video. I have never heard of most of these films even though I consider myself knowledgeable. I owned a video shop and now manage a cinema. I appreciate your videos they are great! You also influenced me to buy glasses that were black, thick rimmed and large 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words!! Wow.
And haha... these glasses, yes, there is a reason behind them. I am a fan of the films of George Romero. These glasses remind me of the type that he used to wear. So whenever I do these CZcams videos, I wear these glasses, as a kind of homage to a filmmaker whose films gave me much joy and excitement when I was growing up.
Thank you for making this awesome video! I hadn’t ever heard of the Eclipse series until very recently so this video was really helpful. I picked up the Postwar Kurosawa set and I plan to pick up Up All Night with Robert Downey Sr. (I really want to watch Putney Swope but the Blu-Ray is basically the same price as this whole collection.) Through your video, I was able to find others I’d like to pick up eventually as well.
Hello and wow, thank you for watching it! It has been some time since I made it. The Eclipse series is a great one, and I am so happy to hear that you are exploring those sets.
I love your glasses!
Oh gosh.. thank you so much! That is very kind of you to say! Best regards.
Thanks for this great video which I`ve just very belatedly come across. I agree that Eclipse was an excellent label which has sadly disappeared,probably for economic reasons. I have a few but want to buy more now. I note that many of the releases featured the the great Japanese directors especially Ozu from his silent films to the late color films.I wish the more neglected Naruse had more titles available although my favorite is the set by Shimizu,in particular Mr. Arigato ,a very early example of the road movie eighty years before Drive My Car!
Thank you so much for the kind words and wonderful comment about the Eclipse series. Yes me too. I wish that the series could continue. And those are really wonderful sets you mention. Yes, the Naruse set is a wonderful example as I too am an admirer of his works and I hope that as many people can see them as possible.
I put off watching Robert Downey Sr.'s films because I thought I wouldn't like them. I was wrong.
Thank you very much for this comment.
I just found you! 2022!
Greetings from Tokyo and thank you so much for this comment!!
I'd be really interested in hearing your thoughts on Aki Kaurismäki, because I'm Finnish and I always enjoy hearing people's opinions on Finnish films as there are not too many that have got international success. By the way it's pretty interesting how Japanese and Finnish people pronounce words really similarly like you pronounced Kaurismäki's name almost like a Finn and when you pronounce Japanese words, I would pronounce them fairly similarly if I were to say/read them.
Thank you so much! Can you make a video on your channel about how to pronounce Kaurismaki's name correctly? I want to learn from you! Thank you so much.
I adore Aki Kaurismaki's work, at least that which I have seen, which are those titles that are available through the Criterion Collection.
Are there any films in particular by Kaurismaki that you think are especially worth of praise?
If you want to know how to pronounce his name correctly you could watch this video, where he talks about Ozu czcams.com/video/7ZPpnd4hTVw/video.html. Maybe I'll do a video about him sometime. I have only seen 6 of his films: Shadows in Paradise, Ariel, The Match Factory Girl, Le Havre, The Other Side of Hope and I Hired a Contract Killer. My favorites so far have to be Shadows in Paradise, Ariel and The Other Side of Hope. Those 3 that I mentioned are the funniest, I really enjoy Kaurismäki's dry humor.
Yes! Thank you for this! This is a great documentary on OZU! Thank you!
And I would LOVE to hear your thoughts about Kaurismäki. It would be great to get your perspective on them. Shadows in Paradise! I love it! That film makes want to start smoking!! Haha!
This is a fantastic video! I was wondering what your thoughts were on the Pearls of the Czech New Wave set. I’m really interested in films from the Czech New Wave (Closely Watched Trains, Loves of a Blonde, etc.) and was wondering if you think the box set is worth it. Also, keep up the good work!
Thank you for your comment! Oh my, it is one of the best sets Criterion ever put out, not to mention the fact that it is perhaps in the top 3 best ever Eclipse sets. I admit to not being expert in Czech cinema, but I knew of Daisies. so I bought the set for Daisies. however, it became clear to me that the set is Daisies, and then the other films are just as compelling. So for me, it was a case of "Come for Daisies, and stay for the Joke and Capricious Summer, Etc." These are brilliant and deep. Pearls of the Deep, my goodness... and Report on the Party and Guests, so biting... and Return of the Prodigal Son, so full of impact, Capricious Summer being so delightful ,and the Joke--a masterpiece. And then there is Daisies... the great, funny, sly, sexy, satirical, and oh so bold and shocking, one of the great marvels.
So, in a nutshell, yes, I love the set. It is SOOOOOO worth it.
Thank you Nicholas. If you have a moment, I would love to hear what other film favorites or recommendations you have! Best regards.
Daisuke Beppu Great! I just started getting into the Eclipse series and I’m really enjoying the ones that I’ve bought so far. I always recommend Loves of a Blonde to people. A beautiful film! I’m also a fan of anything by Tarkovsky, Wajda, Kieslowski, and Fassbender.
Oh yes, Loves of a Blonde. What a masterpiece. By the way, do you have the Fassbinder Eclipse set as well? or the Arrow blu rays of the Fassbinder films? They are both great.
Daisuke Beppu I don’t own the Fassbinder Eclipse set, unfortunately. The only Eclipse sets I own are Agnès Varda in California and Up All Night with Robert Downey Sr. The only Fassbinder Criterion I own is Ali: Fear Eats the Soul, another one of my favorite films.
I'll admit I only have one Eclipse set (Postwar Kurosawa) but I'm interested in some of these sets. More specifically Sabu! and The Early Films of Kurosawa. But first I need to add some spines to my collection!
Oh, if you have the Postwar Kurosawa set, then I think the Early Films of Kurosawa set will be of interest to you I am sure! I recommend it very much.
@@DaisukeBeppu Hi Daisuke would you say getting the postwar or early kurosawa is better? If you see this before the sales ends? Thank you
@@adikravets3632 Personally, while I can recommend both... if I had to choose one... I think I would go for POSTWAR KUROSAWA. The inclusion of the film "I Live in Fear" alone is worth it.
@@DaisukeBeppu Thank you Daisuke for all the responses :) really appreciate them. I decided to give Eclipse Series:Larisa Shepitko I show your Eclipse Series video and you talked about it just a bit. Also The Spirit of the Beehive. I don't know if you made a detailed video about either which if you did I would watch, but if not no worries I will watch them and see how they are. Next time if I decide on getting an eclipse series postwar will be it. Thank you very much!
@@adikravets3632 Thank you. By the way, Shepitko's THE ASCENT which is in that Eclipse set has now been released by Criterion on a separate blu ray (in Jan. 2021). Also, yes, I have been meaning to talk about Erice's The Spirit of the Beehive. I have spoken a little about El Sur, though. Thank you as always my friend.
Hi, Daisuke, I imagine you've picked up a few more Eclipse series since this clip. Do you have a couple of stand outs or favorites you'd suggest viewers to check out. I'm trying to minimize my blind buys.
Perhaps for me the ones that spring to mind immediately are for example the Pearls of the Czech New Wave set and the When Horror Came to Shichiku set. Also the Larisa Shepitko set is brilliant.
I have some Criterions in my collection and I want to know which eclipse box set would you recommend?
Thank you for asking me, Alex. I am very honored.
I apologize for not making any recommendations in this video, and I will plan to make a separate video about the substantive comments I have about these wonderful sets.
But if I were to make some recommendations to you now, it really depends I think on what kinds of films that you like. So, before I recommend to you, may I ask what kinds of films you like, and what films of the Criterion Collection that you have right now?
Daisuke Beppu From the Criterion Collection, I’m into Samurai/Japanese , sci-fi, and horror films.
Thanks for that info. In that case, WHEN HORROR CAME TO SHOCHIKU. This is a great set and all the films are utter delights, with my affections especially for GOKE BODY SNATCHER FROM HELL and THE X FROM OUTER SPACE. Great sci-fi horror campy films.
Daisuke Beppu Thank you so much for the recommendation. I just recently found one of your videos in the recommendation section, loved so much that I’m subscribed to your channel. You are truly a Criterion god, keep up the great work 👏🏽🔥🤘🏽
You are quite welcome and thank you for the really kind comment! I am very moved, because my videos are really nothing special. I am just sitting in my room and showing the titles one at a time! But thank you so much for your great and inspiring comment!
By the way, if you get that set WHEN HORROR CAME TO SHOCHIKU, please let us know what you think of it! I for one would really love to know!
I have put in time markers in the description section, but just in case, WHEN HORROR CAME TO SHOCHIKU is discussed at the point 27:17.
Best regards.
Hello- I love your videos. I’m currently heavily into Yakuza, samurai, and Japanese crime and horror. I was wondering if you have a recommendation for 2 eclipse sets. Just films that are not to be missed. A starting point. Thanks in advance. I truly appreciate what you do here!
Hello and thank you! It is hard to pick only two, but if I had to... perhaps I could draw one's attention to the set When Horror Came to Shochiku, and Oshima's Outlaw Sixties.
Daisuke Beppu thanks so much! Those are two I was looking at starting with!
@@ragtimeryan1905 That is a really awesome coincidence!
Eclipse Series 20 is it in English
Are you multilingual? Your French pronounciation is perfect, at least to me. :)
You are very kind to say! I was fortunate enough to have studied a little bit of French in high school, but now I am afraid to say that I cannot speak the language.
