The newest release in this collection is Benvenuta.

(Wrong topic, I know, but "Flemish cinema on DVD" doesn't exist and I didn't want to make one for this purpose)

Stumbled upon a chance to get this boxset at a good price - can anyone advise if these films are worth the while: Flemish Films Classic Collection 40DVD
