Any word on Bresson titles?

PS: Does this French DVD of Un condamné Ã mort s'est échappé have English subtitles?

I understand it does not. Of the Bresson films released on DVD in France only the MK2 box (L'Argent, Pickpocket, Jeanne d'Arc) has English subtitles.

Artificial Eye Apu Trilogy is Â£9.97 from Amazon UK right now. Of course I ordered even if I can't help but think this means a better version is right around the corner.

Maybe, but these discs are not bad at all and at that price, snap it up!

Has there been any word on the Angelopoulos discs?

Bresson - L'Argent Â£8.97
Ozu - End of Summer Â£7.97
Rivette - Histoires de Marie et Julian Â£8.49

Tarkovski's, Stalker

Derek Jarman's, The Garden
Shinji Aoyama's, Eureka
Paul Schrader's, Affliction
Francois Truffaut's, The Last Metro

Every other interesting title seems to be full price. Greedy fuckers. :cry:

Are the subtitles on this DVD optional or non-removable? Could someone who has the DVD please confirm? Thanks.

Uhmmmm... [Strains memory] ... I think that they are removable. They are Americanized-English and some dialogue is missed out, though. I rented this disc this year. The transfer is excellent and the extras were of a high quality.

Can anyone unequivocally confirm whether or not the subtitles are removable?

These seem to be changing regularly. Marie et Julien is back to full price, but further goodies are available in the form of:

Dolls (Kitano)
Time Regained (Ruiz)
Merci pour le chocolat (Chabrol)
Platform (Jia)
The Tango Lesson (Potter)
any of Kieslowski's Three Colours and Short Film About Killing

All half-price or less (plus you lose the VAT if you're overseas, which added up to the same as postage for me).

Apu Trilogy is back up to full price. I'm glad I jumped on this right away and was able to get it at the sale (mis)price.

Re: Apu Trilogy - I suspect it may have been a misprice. I bought 3 copies, xmas gifts for dear friends, their going to think I'm extremely generous

Wow, that was close! Thanks, ben d, for bringing this to our attention.

Did Amazon honour the mis-price? Have they shipped the set? A real bargain!

Oedipax · **Joined:** Wed Nov 03, 2004 8:48 am **Posts:** 817

Mine hasn't shipped yet, but I haven't received any e-mail saying the deal was off. Fingers crossed!

ben d banana · **Posted:** Wed Oct 26, 2005 9:12 pm

My pleasure, I couldn't hog a deal like that all to myself. I've yet to see Amazon bail on a listed price (well, Amazon.ca can be a tad dodgy but they give into any complaints) so I suspect we shall all receive our 80% off.

My rather obvious Amazon tip is to keep anything you want in your shopping cart and just check it for the discounted price notice to pop up.

kazantzakis · **Posted:** Wed Oct 26, 2005 9:48 pm

Is there a reason to think this was indeed a misprice? They have dropped prices like this before to spike volume etc...

I received mine (X3), it being a misprice is just a hunch on my part, no real evidence!

Misprice or not, I still... missed it... $#!%

Anyway, how are the transfers on the Apu discs? And, is there any reason to believe that the films will be remastered anytime soon?

A newly restored print of Pather Panchali was screened in Cannes earlier this year. Also, the region 1 dvd's went out of print some time ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if a new (Criterion?) release is in the works.

On topic again, here's a note to European members (they don't seem to ship outside the EU) to check out blahdvd.com for more AE bargains. Amongst others they have Werckmeister Harmonies, Mirror and The Son for Â£7.99 shipped.
