And indeed the UK set, out on 18 April, comprises eight films (nine discs):GaryC wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 2:11 amOf course, by the time I get hold of this and even watch any of it, we might know if StudioCanal have any plans to release any of these in the UK. I somehow doubt they'll go for an eighteen-film or even eleven-film set, especially as by my reckoning six of the eighteen haven't had UK commercial releases before so will need to be BBFC-certified. (Que la fête commence and La guerre sans nom have had UK television screenings, though. As the latter is a documentary, it may be able to be BBFC-exempted depending on its content - I haven't seen the film.)
Que la fête commence
Une semaine de vacances
Coup de torchon
L.627
La guerre sans nom
Ça commence aujourd'hui
Laissez-passer
La princesse de Montpensier
If Amazon is to go by, this is slightly more expensive than the 11-film German set at the current sterling/euro exchange rate. There is also the issue of subtitles and whether you need them or not. Two of the films included don't apparently come with English subtitles on the French set - and the one English-language film (La mort en direct/Death Watch) is only on that set. Also, which extras are included, though those that are will be English-subbed if they're not English-language.
I now need to decide which of these to buy. I've been wanting Une semaine de vacances on Blu for years, likewise the not-included Sunday in the Country. Of the eight in the UK set there are two I've not seen and everything else I've seen before on DVD and/or in the cinema.
