Tror Seven Samurai tager prisen som årets DVD udgivelse. Har lige læst DVDFiles anmeldelse
Uddrag:
Commence drooling, everybody.
Inarguably one of the tent poles of cinema achievement ever, Akira Kurosawa’s irreplaceable Seven Samurai gets a second release from Criterion on DVD, and it’s nothing short of a watershed. Just try not to turn into Gollum from Lord of the Rings while staring at this beautiful 3-disc edition (it is, indeed, precious).
And actually watching it? Oh, man. When this writer stayed up until four in the morning watching this new DVD last night, it felt like I was watching it for the first time, and I must have seen this thing ten times.
The Video: How Does The Disc Look?
I wish I could insert a picture of myself shedding tears of joy at this moment. It may not be reference-quality perfect, but I’ll be damned if this full-frame transfer isn’t marvelous.
Final Thoughts
From this writer’s perspective, this is easily the frontrunner for best DVD of 2006. This three-disc box set is a quintessential quality release. The video transfer is a solid step up from Criterion’s earlier releases, the inclusion of a Dolby Surround track is a unique addition, and there are so many valuable bonus features that it’ll be well worth spending the hours and hours and hours necessary to get through them all. You can’t miss. Highly recommended

Æv... jeg er flad... :-( Har været for meget på shopping her i Slovakiet så har absolut ingen penge tilbage denne måned (måske endda negativ balance?)... Suk... Æv... ;-)
The sole reason for this double-dip by Criterion is the anamorphic transfer for Brazil (its previous three-disc DVD release was not enhanced for widescreen TVs). Is it worth it? In a word – yes. This transfer’s glorious.
Final Thoughts
This Criterionphile took his old Brazil set to the used record store and has decided to completely re-up. I know it’s a sign of anal retentiveness, but I wanted one three-disc box set on the shelf, not a three-disc box set and a movie-only disc next to it. For those simply interested in going the route of a film-only appendix to the Brazil Criterion experience, this disc is beautiful. If you don’t have any copies of Brazil on DVD, go for the big box. If you’re just hungry for the new transfer, this thirty-dollar disc will treat you well. Recommended.

#76 - Takker for linket. Argh det er fristende, super film, som er alle pengene værd (også selvom man adderer de 6-700kr jeg betalte for den gamle criterion udgave).
"Og hvem vil ikke gerne guffe Klaus Kinski??" - evermind
- DISC ONE: Grey Gardens - New digital transfer - Audio commentary by filmmakers Albert Maysles, Ellen Hovde, Muffie Meyer, and Susan Froemke - Excerpts from a recorded interview with Little Edie Beale by Kathryn G. Graham for Interview magazine (1976) - Video interviews with fashion designers Todd Oldham and John Bartlett on the influence of Grey Gardens - Behind-the-scenes photographs - Trailers - Filmographies - English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired
- DISC TWO: The Beales of Grey Gardens - New digital transfer, approved by director Albert Maysles - New video introduction by Maysles - Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing - Plus: A new essay by cultural critic Michael Musto
$49.95
Disk 2 bliver også solgt for sig selv til dem, der allerede har den gamle udgave af Grey Gardens:
Spine #361 - The Beales of Grey Gardens
$19.95
Spine #360 - Symbiopsychotaxiplasm
- New high-definition digital transfer - William Greaves’s full-length 2005 sequel, Symbiopsychotaxiplasm Take 2 1/2 - New program about Greaves’s career, featuring Greaves, Louise Archambault, actress Ruby Dee, filmmaker St. Clair Bourne, and film scholar Scott MacDonald - New video interview with actor Steve Buscemi - Theatrical trailer - Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing - Plus: A booklet featuring a new essay by critic Amy Taubin and production notes by Greaves
Læg i øvrigt mærke til denne beskrivelse af transferet: "This new, high-definition digital transfer was created on a Spirit Datacine from a 35mm print. At the behest of director William Greaves, thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches were not removed using the MTI Digital restoration System."
$39.95
Jeg har længe haft planer om at købe Grey Gardens. Den er temmeligt underholdende. Jeg venter dog og ser, hvad Masters of Cinema får ud af deres udgave, der skulle komme i starten af næste år.
Symbiopsychotaxiplasm lyder til gengæld så vild, at jeg MÅ eje den.
Desværre åbenbart ingen genudgivelser af Yojimbo eller Sanjuro i år alligevel :-(
