I found them on the CdC site (just go to www.cahiersducinema.com and click DVD up top, then "2 films de..."). But how do you go about ordering them? All I found is a PDF that looks like something you'd mail in.
Edit: Nevermind, Amazon.fr has 'em. Except they're out of the Passion/Nouvelle Vague set right now.
Is there a reference anywhere that has the English-sub status of the rest of the Cahiers discs? Some good stuff in there.

According to Cahiers' own site, no English subs on CARMEN/HELAS.....Keaton wrote:Great news! Does anybody know what about this release link ?

The Cahiers site lists subtitles for Passion, but not for Nouvelle Vague. So Nouvelle Vague does have them?Arn777 wrote:I bought the Passion/Nouvelle Vague dvds from Cahiers du Cinema last week.

For those in the Boston area, the Harvard Film Archives is screening Moments Choisis Des Histoire(s) Du Cinema in February.
Screening on February 20 (Monday) 7pm
Moments Choisis Des Histoire(s) Du Cinema
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard
France, 2004, b/w and color, 84 min.
French with English subtitles
This reedited version of Godard's five-hour epic film essay, Histoire(s) Du Cinema condenses the work into eight puzzling yet fascinating chapters. A stunning collage of music, poetry, and, of course, film, Moments Choisis demonstrates that Godard's critical faculty is on par with his creative ability. The film was featured in the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, which described the work as "a ruminative and exhilarating elegy to cinema and the twentieth century." A series of observations on Godard's "children of Marx and Coca-Cola" and their relationships, Masculine-Feminine is set in Paris and stars Jean-Pierre Leaud as a young journalist interviewing and romancing a beautiful singer (Chantal Goya). Godard enlivens the classic "battle of the sexes" plotline with inventive doses of parody, satire, politics, anarchy, and comedy while at the same time raising serious questions about why men and women act the way that they do.

I'm curious: which chunk was new? I haven't seen the full Histoire(s), but have seen Moment Choisis at Cinematheque Ontario (and seem to remember thinking that the print looked a little old too, btw) and was led to believe that everything in Moments Choisis was extracted from the 5-hour version. All the more reason that any company that releases the original Histoire(s) really should also include Moments Choisis.I was quite surprised to see that a large chunk was in fact new and did not appear in the original.

I just got an email from amazon.fr canceling my order for this, even though it's still listed as being released on Jan. 15. Apparently, amazon.fr doesn't believe Gaumont is going to release this any time soon.

I think more a production hiccup, it seems Gaumont puts stuff on schedule before realising that it needs much more work that they thought it would. I'd rather they spend time on producing something great with lots of features than rush something so important out. On the other hand the dvd market is much bigger than the VHS market and right owners seem to get greedier.
