Criterion hatches 12 picture deal with IFC Films
Still wondering how the hell Criterion Collection acquired the recently announced A Christmas Tale and Gomorrah, two IFC Films releases from the past year. Word is that these two acclaimed pictures are just a tease of a twelve picture deal the two companies have joined forces to unleash to the masses. So that leaves ten more films for film fanatics to ponder over what else may be hiding in the wings. Two obvious bids it seems would be Che, which has been discussed throughout the interweb as an upcoming release from Criterion, and Steve McQueen's Hunger a film chosen as part of the Criterion hosted cinema at All Tomorrow's Parties festivities next month in New York. Leaving eight more films from the repertoire of IFC Films to find a new home at Criterion. Will the remaining films come from earlier in the film companies existence with such releases as Y Tu Mamá También and Nobody Knows? Or has Criterion instead set their sights on more recent fare like Paranoid Park, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, or even the just released Godard love letter I'm Gonna Explode.
What IFC Films release(s) would you want to see Criterion Collection give their gracious stamp of approval?
