Criterion has announced that it will relaunch the Eclipse Series as a Blu-ray in November. The first Eclipse Blu-ray title will be
Eclipse Series 47: Abbas Kiarostami - Early Shorts and Features (1973-1989).
The label is also preparing "Eclipse sets of the six extraordinary features directed by Kinuyo Tanaka, Japan's first successful woman director; and five searingly radical documentaries from the husband-and-wife team of Kazuo Hara and Sachiko Kobayashi."
Other upcoming releases include "upgrades of Carlos Saura's electrifying Flamenco Trilogy and Ernst Lubitsch's joyously risqué pre-Code musicals. Also in the pipeline are sets devoted to the early films of Ruben Östlund and the revolutionary cinema of Sara Gómez."
