Re: Studio Canal/Kinowelt/Optimum
I posted a link to the cover a few days back which seems to have disappeared into the ether. Anyway it is truly horrendous. Instead of Daybreak we have nuclear meltdown on Gabin We can only hope the contents bode better.Calvin wrote:Le Jour se Leve coming in September
Also hope that UK showing 87 mins instead of 93 is also an error.

Studiocanal's latest press release for The Driver says it will include the alternate opening as an extra, so aside from the lack of isolated score it looks like it will be a fine alternative to the Twilight Time disc, assuming they don't muck up the transfer.

Re: Studio Canal/Kinowelt/Optimum
As I pointed out when caps from the French set were posted, the blacks on the new transfer look incorrect, like the colour space is set wrong. SC did the same thing with Plein Soleil. Hopefully Criterion will correct it.
That said, I think I prefer the new colour timing.

Re: Studio Canal/Kinowelt/Optimum
Blu-ray.com reviews "Jour De Fete", which the black and white and partially tinted versions look great, but the full-color version looks like shit
The BFI full-color version is much much better and in full 1080p.

Is there an obvious reason the 1994 color version couldn't use the BFI's HD source?

Actually, more to the point, did the BFI include the 1994 version at all?

Re: Studio Canal/Kinowelt/Optimum
The 1994 version is the full color version (Thompson color), you can see screenshots on DVDBeaver.

Nah, I think I'll wait for it to be released on DVD-R by Lionsgate in region 1 as part of the second wave of Nouvelle Vague releases...

Re: Studio Canal/Kinowelt/Optimum
A Blu-ray boxset of five Claude Sautet films will be released in France on December 2nd. Too bad there won't be English subtitles. I wonder why such a boxset does not include Un Coeur en Hiver which, IMHO, is his best film. Maybe they save it for a stand-alone release or a second boxset? Now that high-definition masters will soon be available, I hope some company in either the UK or US will release Les Choses de la Vie and Nelly & Mr. Arnaud.

Re: Studio Canal/Kinowelt/Optimum
I still wonder why Sautet seems so neglected by cinephiles. To me, Vincent, Francois, Paul, et les autres is as good as anything by Rohmer or Pialat. Unlike Melville or even Pialat, he remains painted with the "commercial director" brush, even though the first of the former two was just as commercial in his own prime which was at around the same time as Sautet's. I also mention Pialat, because Loulou, We Won't Grow Old Together, and A Nos Amours were all "mainstream" releases in France. So I guess one wonders, where's the line between "commercial" and "non-commercial" from a French stand point?artfilmfan wrote:A Blu-ray boxset of five Claude Sautet films will be released in France on December 2nd.

Maybe Sautet doesn't "attack the bourgeoisie" enough, but then again, neither does Pialat nor Rohmer.

The Miyazaki Collection will now be released on December 8th. The bonus disc will have his retirement press conference (so it appears that Yuki's Sun is dropped from the Japanese release) and the set will also come with "with analysis, essays and commentary as well as contributions from Miyazaki himself."
