The June lineup of The Criterion Collection includes Mishima, Sorcerer, and Brazil in 4K.
I’ve yet to watch The Wages of Fear (life moves quickly, and there are books to read between those films), but just days after Criterion’s 4K edition arrived at my home, I learn that its lesser-known counterpart is up next. William Friedkin’s Sorcerer will be released on 4K this June, a month that will bring much-anticipated upgrades for two of its notable titles (and visually impressive packages): Paul Schrader’s Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters and Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, both of which should look and (in the case of Philip Glass’ score for the former) sound better than ever.
Sidney Lumet’s The Wiz and François Girard’s Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould will also be available in this format, with both accompanied by a Blu-ray of Charlotte Zwerin’s Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser. (Once again, it might be a good time to consider purchasing a soundbar.) Meanwhile, Mitchell Leisen’s Midnight (featuring Claudette Colbert and John Barrymore) receives the distinguished silver accolade of a Blu-ray release.
