In light of Kino's sorry-ass track record, I'd be very surprised if this release is nothing more than a re-issue of the Image discs in one two-disc package.If this is the case, that title would be pretty misleading. In book publishing, "collected" and "selected" mean quite different things. Fingers crossed that this is the former!

Hi Annie,
Reviews are up on all 3 Bakers at DVDTalk. I think maybe they got the wrong chap to look at them, though. I mean, I don't think the appeal of these films should be based on how naturalistic the acting the acting is, or how groundbreaking and inventive the plot elements are.
Do you know what I mean?
Anyway, the transfers seem decent enough...Hopefully, a technical review will be up at DVDBeaver soon.

There's a six disc Krystof Kieslowski box set coming out August 16th. I assume it will have The Scar, Camera Buff, Blind Chance, A Short Film About Killing, A Short Film About Love, and No End. At 70$ its a huge difference in price (about $180 retail), though I understand some of the transfers are problematic.

Looks pretty good, especially compared to the old Image/Interama LDs, but the sound has been atrociously fiddled with, with lots of added sound effects gunking and clanking up the sound mix....very distracting if you know what the original sounds like.therainsong wrote:Can anybody comment on the quality of Kino's edition Marcel Pagnol's Fanny Trilogy?

New Yorker no longer own the rights to Le Samourai. I emailed them last month and they I was informed that Criterion now owns the rights. I'm not holding my breath, though. It will probably happen next year. I already have the French R2 edition. I am actually more interested in L'Armee des Ombres right now, which Rialto owns and should be a Criterion in the coming months, as Mulvaney has stated that "more Melville" is planned.

I'm guessing he meant modern sonically, or recorded at the time of the LD sets, which they were, and then used once again as is for the DVD releases, and that is true. They are compilation style scores using "period" repertory rather than modern in idiom, except for the annoying Club Foot score for Sherlock Jr., which IS I suppose "modern", but in any case, is not by the team that did the other scores. AMC even replaced that score for an airing once, whereas the others were aired as is.

Thanks. That's what I meant and thought. A buddy of mine has two of the LD sets and they are joyous to behold and it appears that this is basically the same thing in DVD form. Gotta save up some pennies for this.unclehulot wrote:I'm guessing he meant modern sonically, or recorded at the time of the LD sets, which they were, and then used once again as is for the DVD releases, and that is true.
