Il Cinema Ritrovato

[tenia]

I'm surprised they're listing the Lumière set as DVD, because a BD release exists.
If anybody can tell them so it could be corrected, I havent found how to contact them myself.

THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH
(England, 1976) by Nicolas Roeg
Studiocanal (blu-ray + dvd)

[L.A.]

Does Trésors du cinéma Yiddish have English subs?

[The Fanciful Norwegian]

The Lobster website specifies both French and English "versions," which I can only assume means subtitles. And this article states in the opening paragraph that all the films have subtitles in both languages.

[dwk]

No A Brighter Summer Day? and StudioCanal's awful The Man Who Fell to Earth?

[tenia]

Yeah, there are some weird stuff there.
Why the Raro DVD of Le carosse d'or while the movie has been released on BD in France (I guess the DVD has English subs, the French BD doesn't) ? Why the random Becker movie from Gaumont ? No Pathé restoration, especially none of their Duvivier ? And what is special about this Amarcord release than the Criterion doesn't have ?
But hey, let's drop a non-optimum 4K resto from Studio Canal !

[andyli]

Amarcord is from a brand-new 4K restoration which easily beats Criterion's old master, though I agree it is unworthy given the absence of any extras and an English subtitle.

[MichaelB]

I assume Arrow's Dekalog was favoured over Criterion's because of the five rare TV movies that mostly aren't available anywhere else.

[otis]

Amarcord is from a brand-new 4K restoration which easily beats Criterion's old master, though I agree it is unworthy given the absence of any extras and an English subtitle.

Why exactly would the absence of English subtitles make this release unworthy of nomination for an award at an Italian film festival?

[andyli]

Maybe... the missed chance to attract a wider audience? Again this is just my opinion and does not necessarily conform to Ritrovato's standard. (After all, they did nominate it.)

I have never regarded this award as a Italian or domestic award. It is rather a global survey of worthy releases and is selected by a group of international experts like Jonathan Rosenbaum who consider titles published from all over the world. From past experience, the inclusion of English subtitles has been mentioned from time to time as the (added) value of a winner, such as the Portabella set, Epstein set, and Arté's Out 1 set.

Back to Amarcord, if a label, say Arrow Academy, had put out the 4K master with supplements and English subtitles, I don't see how the Italian release could have competed even though it is the 'native' release.

[otis]

I have never regarded this award as a Italian or domestic award. It is rather a global survey of worthy releases and is selected by a group of international experts like Jonathan Rosenbaum who consider titles published from all over the world.

Fair enough, but if the aim is to attract a global audience, why not Mandarin or Spanish subtitles? Not that I'm against English subtitles, but the suggestion that a foreign release is unworthy of international attention without them seems a bit extreme. (And I'm pretty sure that most of the British and American titles nominated don't include subtitles that would make them accessible to the many people in the world who don't understand English.)

[Costa]

And what is special about this Amarcord release than the Criterion doesn't have ?

It has the special "Ritrovata color"!

Does Trésors du cinéma Yiddish have English subs?

Each disc opens with a menu asking the viewer to select FRENCH or ENGLISH. Choose the second and you get English menus and English subs on all bonuses as well as the main features. The accompanying booklet (32 pages) is only in French.

2018 DVD Awards finalists

[L.A.]

RINO LUPO: MULHERES DA BEIRA / OS LOBOS (Portugal, 1922-1923) by Rino Lupo – Cinemateca Portuguesa – Museu do Cinema

This one interests me and at least the Portuguese Fnac offer it. I’m going to do a little more research and find out whether it has English subs and if there are other alternatives where to order the DVD.

[Paupau]

It's a Fnac exclusive. I can check the back cover in store during the week to verify the actual subs.

[whaleallright]

anyone know if that Sucksdorff set has English subs? or all of his short films?

[tenia]

2018 DVD Awards finalists

Some choices are a bit surprising. For instance, why select Potemkine's Eraserhead which is a lighter version of the Criterion release with no specific editorial input ? Why selecting Second Sight's Color of Pomegranates on DVD and not BD ? Studio Canal picks are also all DVD-only, while BD equivalents exists (and, in the case of The Graduate, would be the logical choice).

In any case though, that's a LOT of finalists, which I guess showcase how many tremendous releases are happening currently.

[RobertB]

I don't own the Sucksdorff box. But Studio S say nothing about any subtitles on the website, and nothing on the front or back of the box indicates that it has any subtitles. 4 feature films, 16 shorts + a 4*30 minutes TV-series.

BRANKO GAPO BOX SET (Republic of Macedonia, 1965-1992) – Kinoteka na Makedonija (Dvd)

I think I’m going to bother Kinoteka na Makedonija about this.

The boxset contais 6 discs, they have English subtitles, the price is 25 EUR + delivery, can be ordered directly from them and paid by bank transfer only.

Yes, they replied back and the films, the extras and the booklet are English-friendly. 25,00€ for the set and 10,00€ shipping costs to Finland. Doing a bank transfer to Macedonia is difficult. But won’t be giving up.
