Not the real Criterion Closet experience if you can't pick $300 worth of stuff for free and cram them in a branded Baggu.

Fingers crossed he was there for an interview on a forthcoming 4K and BD of The Mission.

The chance is very slim (OCN missing). The best they can do is probably to scan a release print.

That was the original announcement. The others were not restored in time to be screened along with the two Zhang films. In the case of The Mission, the restoration was stalled at the stage of material searching.

I do find it cool he grabbed that Early Kurosawa set, since Sanshiro Sugata inspired Throw Down

Chiu Fu-sheng has been going around misleading people that the restorations were finished and the festival didn't bother checking to see if the restorations were actually done? What a shitshow.

Oh god, I hadn't heard that. Thanks for clarifying.
