NY Times: "Romantic Indeed: A Letter Details Mahler’s Love Life"

[Constantin]

Thanks so much James, for giving us some hope.

This film deserves a place in film history, as one of the most creative works to document the life of a great artist.  I hope Criterion will offer it soon as a DVD.

This is great news!  Thanks for the update, James!  We hopefully have something good to look forward to!

This is great news! I'm curious to know just how much they'll be able to improve the sound, if at all. Currently I'm using a library computer, so I can't sample the excerpts for sound. Russell did so much over-dubbing on to the Haitink/Concertgebouw recordings to begin with, so Critereon may not be able to do a whole lot, sound wise. The picture looks fine.

For what it may be worth, the complete Ken Russell "Mahler" film was until a few months ago available to watch on YouTube, although split into chunks of about 10 to 12 minutes I think.  I can't find it now - maybe it's been removed, although there still are some excerpts.
