It’s only fitting that the kick-off to the summer movie season also means a major month for The Criterion Collection. They’ve unveiled their May line-up and it’s a stacked one, and we can partially thank Martin Scorsese. While none of his films will be coming to the collection, the second edition of his World Cinema Project will arrive, which includes works from the Philippines (Insiang), Thailand (Mysterious Object at Noon), Soviet Kazakhstan (Revenge), Brazil (Limite), Turkey (Law of the Border), and Taiwan (Taipei Story).
Along with those films from Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Edward Yang, and more, we’ll be getting Terry Zwigoff‘s Ghost World, Jacques Audiard‘s Palme d’Or-winning Dheepan, Yasujiro Ozu‘s Good Morning (which also includes I Was Born, But… and surviving excerpt from A Straightforward Boy), Orson Welles‘ Othello, and a Blu-ray upgrade for Chantal Akerman‘s masterpiece Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles.
