Glad it’s getting a Blu. Hasn’t opened near me yet, but when it does, I’m going to check it out.

ANOTHER NEON title that should have gone Criterion right off the bat. Three in a row now.

Flee is reportedly the first film ever to simultaneously qualify for the Animated Feature, Documentary Feature *and* (as Denmark's entry) International Feature Oscars, and could be nominated in all three. While Waltz with Bashir was thrown out of the Documentary Feature race before nominations, Flee has already made the 15-film shortlists for both Documentary Feature & International Feature so it has at least a one-third chance each at those two nominations. (There is no shortlist for Animated Feature, only the 26-film eligibility list.) That's why this new label needs to take extra care with this release, even assuming that's a valid excuse for not having a 4K.
