Blu-ray.com - Criterion Announces Kagemusha and Playtime for August

The Criterion Collection has officially announced two titles for release on Blu-ray on August 18: Akira Kurosawa's 'Kagemusha' and Jacques Tati's 'Playtime'. Both films will be presented in 1080p 1.85:1 video with stereo lossless audio (DTS-HD Master Audio for 'Kagemusha', uncompressed for 'Playtime') and optional English subtitles, and will include all the bonus features present in their respective DVD editions.

I wonder if Warner Brothers will follow suit and give us a BD of Dreams as well — not my favorite Kurosawa by a mile, but incredibly deserving of high-def presentation.

It's Official! "Playtime" will be the first Bluray disc I buy. Soooooo stoked

I picked up In the Realm of the Senses earlier this month, too - my first Criterion BD. There were other BD titles before that, of course, and that will certainly not be the last.
