Was there not supposed to be a Criterion special edition released?

Like a year or two ago? I could have sworn I read something about that.

I just came here to look for an update about the release to see if it's ever happening. I guess they cancelled it.

I don't think they cancelled the release, it will probably still be released a couple years from now. Just give it time, if Criterion says they'll release it, it'll most likely happen. There's LOTS of stuff they have to gather for the special edition and it just doesn't take 3 years to do it.

They probably canceled it when they got a good look at this cheesy porn flick. Why on Earth would a respectable label like Criterion release such crap and soil their good name? Actually this movie should be released by the porn label Vivid, and it should come with discount coupons for spaghetti and edible undies for the first 1,000 customers..

If Criterion releases this piece of garbage I will boycott them. But I can't imagine them touching this exploitation drivel.

The film has been in the Criterion Collection for a couple of years now: the OP's question refers to a proposed Special Edition.

Note the line:
"A full special edition treatment of this film will follow at a later date."

Well I think Criterion also released "Armegeddon" or some piece of Hollywood trash, so nobody is perfect. Every time I hear praise for this wretched movie i think of the story of the 'Emperor's new clothes.' A couple elitest snobs who were probably either horny men or people with some real pull in the industry, praised the film, so everyone else jumped on the bandwagon, afraid to disagree. Now sometimes i doubt my knowledge of film and art...but NOT in this case. Because this is, hands down, one of the biggest piles of excrement i have seen in years. I just can't get over the fact that THIS movie got more praise than Lukas Moodyson's "Show Me Love," which is such a wonderful film that also deals with a lesbian relationship involving 2 teen girls. Of course THAT film didn't have vaginas pushed into the camera, while girls ate each other out for 10 minutes at a time. It is so obvious why this crap got so much attention. People are so easily manipulated. I just wonder why a movie with such a cheap, ugly look, needed a Criterion release..did we really need to see ugly, pseudo-intellectual French girls gobbling greasy spaghetti (and pussy) in vivid hi-def?
