Well Jay, thanks for the info. I finally saw Black Orpheus in its entirety for Free here. I have seen it briefly at the end when it came on TCM; when they used to show Foreign movies late at night years ago. I enjoyed it. I love Greek Myths, and Orpheus though being a sad story at endpoint, was something that fascinated me. There are so many versions of films dealing with Orphean legend, the Jean Cocteau ‘50 version, the aforementioned Marcel Camus’ ‘59 version, and the Carlos Diegues’ versions (Subway to the Stars and Orfeu). It was a bit slow in parts, but I got so carried away with the color Cinematography and the bossa nova/samba music is a ‘wow’. A real lively affair indeed. I can’t wait to own this by Criterion. They have great taste in movies in my opinion.
This is my first post here at the Auteurs, and I’m glad to be here.
I just put a little bits and pieces together with GOM and CorelDRAW/Photopaint and just blast away. It was once called The Haunting of Julia 30 years ago, so I dare not put that in the title. It’s a seldom seen pic from way back, never read the novel. I hope to make some more creations.
Just a thought, but this thread should be title Criterion “Fans” Fake Covers.
Here’s a rough draft I did in DRAW – Underground (1995) another Criterion hopeful. Nothing much here, I hope to get my graphic skills perfected soon. Is GIMP any good?
Here’s another cover I did with some of Fritz Lang’s silent movies (excluding Dr. Mabuse and Metropolis) consisting seven. This is just the main cover. Did the drawing of the face myself, crediting pic from Mythical Monkey Writes about the Movies et al…
Here’s one for Les Grandes Manoeuvres (The Grand Manuver) by René Clair (1955) with Gerard Phillipe, Michelle Morgan and a young Brigitte Bardot. I really do hope Criterion picks up this one.
Thanks Nishimura and A.P. Phoey for the compliments. Nishimura, you should be considered part of the Criterion team of cover designers — really impressive. I’ve been inspired by your concept. All great design concepts from many others.
Thanks guys for all the compliments. I had such an inspriation with the Goddard Covers that I just create whatever I can. I like still images, but I like to make a concept that fits the films. I’m a Goddard fan, so I just did the artwork. However my Weekend could be better, but I too like the Alphaville cover — I did the fading E=m2 franction myself.
I dig your artwork Rob; real nice cover designs by everyone. For me, this is yet another hopeful. Something I mixed up for H-G Cluzot’s La Verité – The Truth, and you know what they say about the fury of a woman’s scorned.

How sad that is. Such great talent; he’ll be sadly missed.
Rest in Peace.

Great covers you’re making Nishimura.
I have a reason for “Crash”. Daring to go beyond the limits.

Quote RNishimura…
“CSwords, that was awesome.
I wish everyone here posted full covers.
I would gladly re-wrap every DVD in my collection with them.”
Thanks Mr. Nishimura, I love your DVD covers. So professionally done In fact, these are all great ideas from like minds here in this thread.
Kinda makes ya wish Criterion would take up the challenge with the seldom seen titles.
As for re-wrapping, I’d be glad to send you some files, I love to see what you do with them. I got some cover ideas in my head… real soon.

Here’s some cover work done by me — being a Goddard-natic. I hope they do re-issue Alphaville, and possibly throw in Week-end.

Awesome cover you did on P.o.P, Nishimura-san.
One thing of note, the year made was 1974, well at least you made up for it on the back over, and the disc designs itself — stellar.
They’re all good.
