Criterion #453

 


Look what came out yesterday. If you say you're over this movie, I'll never believe you again. Too bad they couldn't get WKW, Doyle, or Tony Leunge to provide commentary, though. I'm a Tony Rayns fan, but hearing a critic's take isn't quite the same, especially when so many of the cast and crew are still alive.

Disc Features
* New, restored high-definition digital transfer
* Remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack supervised by director Wong Kar-wai
* Audio commentary by noted Asian cinema critic Tony Rayns
* U.S. theatrical trailer
* Episode excerpt from the BBC Television series Moving Pictures, featuring Wong and cinematographer Christopher Doyle
* New and improved English subtitle translation
* PLUS: A booklet featuring a new essay by critic Amy Taubin

* This is out, too, with audio commentary by Wes Anderson and actor Owen Wilson!

I'm trying to hold off on diving into the whole Criterion thing until I can get a BD player. As much as I want to get "Chungking Express" now, I don't want to be buying it again on BD.

I definitely want to see this version, though.
