 Peter Becker, in his blog "On Five" from The Criterion Collection Web site, explained, "We want [important, hard to find films] to be more readily available, and that’s why we’re creating Eclipse.Each month we’ll present a short series, usually three to five films, focusing on a particular director or theme.There will be no supplements and the master materials will be the best we can find, but they won’t be full Criterion restorations."
