On the 4K Ultra HD front, Aug. 8 will be the street date for a new 4K film restoration of Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s 1990 film release of Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams.
This is a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack presentation, with the feature film on the 4K disc and the bonus features housed on the companion Blu-ray.
This collection of eight connecting vignettes features commentary by film scholar Stephen Prince, director Nobuhiko Obayashi’s feature-length documentary titled Making of Dreams: A Movie Conversation between Akira Kurosawa and Nobuhiko Ōbayashi, actor/filmmaker Catherine Cadou’s 2011 film, Kurosawa's Way and video sessions with production manager Teruyo Nogami and assistant director Takashi Koizumi.
Also on the release calendar in August from the Criterion Collection are both DVD and Blu-ray editions of director Wayne Wang’s 1985 film, Dim Sum: A Little Bit of Heart (Aug. 15), the four-disc/four-film Blu-ray collection titled Bo Widerberg’s New Swedish Cinema (Aug. 22) — which includes The Baby Carriage, Raven's End, Elvira Madigan and Adalen 31 — and the DVD and Blu-ray debut of writer/director Cauleen Smith’s 1998 indie film Drylongso (Aug. 29), which was resurrected and restored by Janus Films and released for the first time theatrically in March of this year.
