absolutely stacked package. MOC did this one right on the scholarly front. it doesn't feature any of the archival material from the CC edition though, so hang onto it for that. can't wait, glad this movie is finally coming to BD. as I said, it's probably the biggest non-MGM silent that hadn't come to BD yet

Also an opportunity to get rid of the bulky Criterion dvd packaging!
It's missing the superb Louise Brooks documentary and archival interview with her, so I'll be holding on to mine (albiet, funneled away with where I keep my bulky Straw Dogs DVD and other things I hold on to just for the extras).
A bit underwhelmed with the lack of extras personally for such a major film but will definitely be getting it anyway… unless CC announce before MoC release!

Curious as to which superior extras you'd expect from a CC release. A video with Pabst picking favourites like Lawrence of Arabia and Harold and Maude from the collection at Criterion headquarters?

The extras from Criterion's DVD sound excellent and thorough.
Yes sad to miss out on the Louise Brooks interview, documentary and any potential documentaries about Pabst in general. Or a more scholarly visual essay on the visuals by the likes of Bordwell or Martin.
But hey; don’t mean to look a gift horse in the mouth too much, I’m still preordering this!
Watson/Cairns' essays are usually academically grounded, so to speak, not just vague impressions strung together as you sometimes see. Martin's usually aren't long enough to make a coherent argument.
