The Criterion Collection titles for August 2013 were announced a few days ago. This edition includes good news for those of you who are Satyajit Ray fans as well as a welcome return of the Eclipse line. Let’s get started:
The Earrings of Madame de... (1953) Max Ophuls - August 6
Blu-grade - Spine #445
Seconds (1966) John Frankenheimer - August 13
New to the collection - Spine #667
The Big City (1963) Satyajit Ray - August 20

New to the collection - Spine #670
Eclipse Series 39: Early Fassbinder (5 discs) - August 27
Five films from Rainer Werner Fassbinder:
Love is Colder Than Death (1969)
Katzelmacher (1969)
Gods of the Plague (1969)
The American Soldier (1970)
Beware of a Holy Whore (1971)
The only film I've seen from this batch is To Be or Not to Be, which appeared on February's list. I thought it was delightful, so I'm eager to pick up this one in August.
It's also nice to see the return of the Eclipse series, after a long absence. Let's hope this line will be around for many more years.
