And I noted, in talking about Ron Perlman, the author mentioned City of Lost Children, and I can’t help but wonder how that’s not part of the Criterion Collection - it seems such a perfect fit.

I also note a sort of surprising lack of Luc Besson. He seems a perfect fit too.

Sony and StudioCanal, respectively, kept the rights and made the 4k releases themselves.

Leon and Fifth Element you can understand but City of Lost Children seems the kind of title perfect for a boutique Blu-ray publisher.
