Yes, I e-mailed Criterion to ask if they were going to continue the EAH series. Their answer was ambiguous at best, saying that we have no Essential Art House releases at this time. Not that they were stopping it all together, but just that they aren’t at this time. I have bought up all of these releases to date and find them truly a major part of my movie collection. The special editions are good, but for a guy on a budget these are more reasonable. The other reason why I e-mail them was because their page on EAH has other titles there with artwork. However, there is no box set indicated on the page. These movies are:
Fists in the Pocket
L’avventura
Il Posto
Spirit of the Beehive
Three Documentaries
The Virgin Spring
Since I told them this, they still haven’t fixed this on the their site. I don’t know if this is a glitch and they are not making them. Or these are potential films for a volume VI. If so, I am look very forward to it.
Wild Strawberries
La Strada
Le Samourai
The Passion of Joan of Arc
L’eclisse
L’Avventura
Mouchette
Ali: Fear Eats The Soul
Elevator to the Gallows
Floating Weeds
Good Morning
The River
Roberto Rossellini’s War Trilogy (Rome, Open City; Paisan; Germany, Year Zero)
M. Hulot’s Holiday
Jules and Jim
Cleo from 5 to 6
Vagabond
Pepe le Moko
Vampyr

All of the Cassavettes films
The Virgin Spring
Z
Film not on the collection yet:
