DVDs are a whole different ballgame, you're right about that. I just think people are overly dramatic with regard to sleeves, just in that to my knowledge there hasn't been a ton of actual problems caused by them outside of aesthetics.

Criterion's page for the Three Fantastic Journeys set has removed the "limited edition" tag for the pop-up packaging (and added a short unboxing video)

Agreed. I especially like The Great Escape cover. It works though it shouldn't.

The Great Escape is the only one I don't find that good. Something doesn't work for me, I can't pinpoint it exactly.

The Husbands cover shouldn't work but I admire that choice of image and think it's perfect

I'll keep up the love. I want that Scorsese art as a poster.

Barring Dance Girl, Dance and Wildlife since I haven't seen em what a solid goddamn month for the 3 other new additions and one of my most wanted upgrades. In fact I was wishing pretty hard lately that the Rohmer set would get treated this year. And for cover art alone again, solid across the board. Couldn't be happier.

Very surprised the Zeman set is taller than the usual digipak pakaging by half an inch or so so it doesn’t cleanly line up - seems kind of strange!

I love the "Leave Her To Heaven" artwork; I'm glad they choose this lovely picture for the cover of the booklet; even the picture disk is so lovely :oops: by the way did Quentin Tarantino supervised the artwork for the inside keepcase ?
I'm looking forward to watch this Criterion. The T.Time transfer was already damned good.

I still own the DVD Criterion of "Quand Passent les Cigognes" and really love the original artwork of the DVD. Well, the new artwork is not bad at all; but I'm kind of disappointed by the inside cover under the keep case.
They could have used a better shot of the wedding-dream sequence.

This is the Roma French release :

It's interestingly both lazy AND different in some ways :
- they kept for god knows which reason the pointless-in-France Criterion template BUT changed it to fit a regular Amaray dimensions.
- they obviously translated the whole stuff in France, including the booklet, but are sending to the criterion.com website, a website whose store that doesn't even ship to France, and the booklet has been reduced to a 12-pages one (meaning it's not retaining many illustrations that didn't needed a translation).
- it states way more subtitles than the US disc, mimicking the subtitles a typical Warner release would get instead of porting as is the Criterion disc (which already had French subs). In any case, I suppose they added the same kind of subtitles on the extras, since the Criterion US/UK releases only had English subs on those.

Seems like they are adding 2 new extras for this release.

I figured they would have included the other Tokyo film, Sensation of the Century, which was made up of footage from this film and footage not used, but it appears they're just including 80-minutes of additional material (which I will assume is the additional footage that was in that film).

I like all of these, but I'm not *crazy* about Portrait of a Lady on Fire. I wish they'd used the US limited release poster instead.

Cameraman might be one of the best artwork in a while.

Missed opportunity to use the actual powerful portrait for the Sciamma
