absolutely thrilled Radiance beat the US rightsholder to getting this one out. Tony Rayns and In Shanghai are terrific extras - wonder how long Rayns' piece will end up being, as have been enjoying his loaded contributions for Indicator recently. still wild his Radiance debut was for a French film, something unusual for him.

as for the film in question here, it's terrific, and I hope to write something a bit more substantial about it upon revisit...but I do wanna pass the word along to anyone who gets motion sickness, the shaky handheld look of this film is tough if you're not prepared like I was. hoping to see more Lou Ye and mainland Chinese cinema in general - there is more beyond Taiwan and Hong Kong*!

(*-though I'd love to see Radiance get in the game and put out better editions of Tsai/Hou/Yang/etc in the UK if MOC isn't gonna be doing them)

Glad I didn’t get Strand’s disc!

I did get the Strand disc, but I'll happily upgrade. This is still one of my favorite films, decades on. Far moreso for me than Vertigo, the obvious inspiration for a lot of the picture.

[What A Disgrace]

This has been delayed to the 29th of April. Consequently, the rest of my March order has shipped. I'm assuming that the disc will ship with the proper April pre-orders.

[ryannichols7]

I never circled back around but I didn't realize the Strand disc had even been out...shows how little fanfare it got in the US

it appears it's gonna ship with the April stuff. since I combined March and April orders that works for me
