Polanski's "Repulsion" seems to have popped up recently. Amazon has it
here
Anyone know if this is really by Koch as other sites claim? And what the hell is
Studio: 'Program Power Ent'
from amazon's website?
DVDsoon lists a 26 Apr release by Koch. I wonder if this is even the same one...

I picked that copy of Repulsion up at Borders a week or so back when they had a special deal (buy three and the fourth is free), and it's quite awful. It's fullscreen and the image and sound are vhs quality. I don't know if it's a bootleg source or if it's just lazy public domain material, but I would skip it.

Repulsion was not produced by the Koch Lorber (art film) division of the Koch Distribution 'empire.' Most of the DVDs Koch distributes are bargain titles from less-than-stellar producers:

There is no mention of KochLorber anywhere, I am not sure what you are referring to. The "Repulsion" that was floating around previously was released by that "thing" linked to on the top of this thread, an apparent trashcan of the Koch conglomerate.
Can anyone of those who have seen this "new" dvd (this was supposed to come out yesterday) specify what company claims to have released this?

It's produced by Entertainment Products, Inc., and distributed by Koch Entertainment (but not Koch Lorber).kazantzakis wrote:Can anyone of those who have seen this "new" dvd (this was supposed to come out yesterday) specify what company claims to have released this?

Koch Lorber gives Gold treatment to classics
Koch Lorber Films will christen a new Gold Series line of DVDs with the May 10 release of Jacques Demy’s take on the dark Charles Perrault fairy tale Donkey Skin (Peau d’Âne).
The Gold Series designation will be reserved for “classic films by renowned directors that really became events” when they were released, said Koch Lorber general manager Dan Gurlitz. The high-end titles will receive state-of-the-art restoration and remastering, significant bonus features and, in most cases, a limited theatrical rerelease to generate consumer awareness.
Koch Lorber’s release of La Dolce Vita last year did not carry the Gold Series label but was essentially a test for the line, Gurlitz said.
The Gold Series titles will be priced higher than most Koch Lorber titles--at $34.98, Donkey Skin is about $5 higher than the norm. “There’s a big fan base and they’re not price-sensitive,” Gurlitz said. “They would rather pay a few dollars more and get the best that they can get. There’s an upside for Koch and for retailers because these titles don’t need to be discounted.”
Titles slated to get the Gold Series treatment include Lena Wertmüller’s Seven Beauties and Swept Away, Luis Buñuel’s Los Olvidados and Alain Corneau’s All the Mornings of the World (Tous les Matins du Monde) starring Gérard Depardieu.

the DVD is a great improvement over the previous edition in terms of transfer and features. as a film, it's good, but it's totally different from early Fellini. It's not as good as Amarcord, but it's better than Orchestra Rehearsal, if that helps. I rather enjoy it, though parts of it tend to drag.jorencain wrote:So, has anyone picked up "Intervista" and can comment on it? I'm curious anout the film itself, as I haven't seen much very late Fellini, but also about the disc. Is it worth getting? Thanks.
