CRITERION's June Release Announcement





"Directors from the world over will make June a truly eclectic month at Criterion. Get on track with Jim Jarmusch’s and Carol Reed’s Mystery Train and Night Train to Munich, an ode to Memphis and a spy thriller, respectively. Along the way, check out the much-anticipated release of Antonioni’s Red Desert (right), Kiarostami’s amazing Iranian fiction-doc Close-up, and Everlasting Moments, the lyrical latest from Swedish master Jan Troell. All this and Visconti’s divine The Leopard on Blu-ray disc!"

Most exciting, to me, are both 'Mystery Train' & 'Night Train to Munich' though I'm very curious about 'Everlasting Moments,' it's high time 'Red Desert' finally got a domestic U.S. release and 'Close-up' was very powerful and provocative look into Iranian culture.
