Glad I slept on MUBI's release, would be interesting to compare the releases though.
I am somewhat curious on whether or not will see anymore LVT releases from Imprint.

Super that this is being released again, but hilarious that an intentionally grungy verité style 16mm production is getting a 4K treatment (even if the remaster has improved things some). In any case I will be curious if there is any discernable benefit to the UHD. Further to his, my usual bugaboo of PAL sourced productions will come into play here, as Mubi went to the trouble of presenting this as a 25fps BD in the UK and a 24fps BD in the US.
An international sensation, a defining sex symbol, and one of the most photographed and scrutinised women on the planet. Brigitte Bardot transcended her acting career to become a cultural phenomenon of the 50s and 60s, and one of French cinema's most enduring icons.
This 4K UHD + Blu-ray hardbox celebrates her legacy and brings together four of her most essential performances:
Come Dance with Me (Voulez-vous danser avec moi?) (1959) - Blu-ray
A Very Private Affair (Vie privée) (1962) - 4K UHD + Blu-ray - Worldwide first on 4K UHD!
Contempt (Le mépris) (1963) - 4K UHD + Blu-ray
Viva Maria! (1965) - Blu-ray
This special collection also includes the 2025 feature documentary Bardot on Blu-ray for the first time worldwide, which takes an intimate look at her work and her legacy.
No new extras on the Godard but the rest have quite a few new additions. Vie privee is hilariously awful, Viva Maria not much better. Danser is not great but much better than those two. The Godard rules but you already know that. Haven’t seen the doc but it was an option on my international flight a few months back, so it’s at least of commercial release value and not a Kickstarter thing
The set also has this bonus feature on Vie privee but I can’t figure out what film this is
Thanks for mentioning the English version on TCM, now I remember. Don´t know, though, if the film was intentionally produced in an English version also, or if the English dub came later through MGM, they had international distribution rights according to Variety: https://archive.org/details/variety-196 ... 5/mode/1up
