I have seen the future of The Criterion Collection — and it is sticky.

Today I opened my new director-approved blu-ray of the Oscar-winning animated feature Flow, and I discovered a sheet of stickers celebrating the film’s colorful cast of critters.

All I can think about now is how much I want Criterion stickers to become the new normal. Re-release Kiarostami’s The Koker Trilogy with a sticker of that trudging donkey from Where is the Friend’s House? that I can stick on my laptop case alongside the donkey from Bresson’s Au Hasard Balthazar. I want the Agnes Varda box, but with stickers of Varda at different stages of her career. Give me Monsieur Hulot and a backdrop of Paris so I can move him around a Playtime stage. Imagine the possibilities for Obayashi’s House! Imagine Johannes from Dreyer’s Ordet reaching out to you from your stainless steel water bottle!

Then again, Blue may not be The Warmest Color for stickers . . . unless they’re stickers of Julie from Kieślowski’s Blue complete with her accessories: the blue chandelier, a blue lollipop, some scrolls of sheet music that she can throw in a garbage bin.
