Where's My Criterion?

[ftsoh]

Just a little update, I received "Veronique" today. Still no sign of Hands Over the City", "Sweetie", and "Fallen Idol". Will send them an email again next week.

[fdm]

I just talked to dvdplanet today about a mia refund. They answered immediately, I explained the situation, my refund is in progress (they lost the returned items).

Probably just better off talking to them. Saves that week+ email lag that seems to be in effect. Could have those replacements in hand by the time they get around to your email...

Still no Veronique.

Adding: Sure enough, later the very same day of the phone call got an answer to my email of 11/15, indicating that the refund is in progress. So current dvdplanet email turnaround is about 7 days.

Hi there,

still no anwser from Criterion about the missing booklet in Clean Shaven.
Although the "Clean Shaven" DVD was sealed, there is no booklet in the amaray case.

I emailed at [email protected]

no answer...

do you know some other email adresses from Criterion that I could contact about this problem ? Thanks...

[justeleblanc]

If you email [email protected], it gets into everyone's mailbox, as opposed to just angie's.

has anyone received a shipping notice for Mouchette yet? shaping up to be another stellar preorder delivery from DVDPlanet

[Gigi M.]

I was wondering the same thing. I found out the Jan 9 titles were moved to the 16.

[Rupert Pupkin]

I just got Mouchette yesterday; watched it today... Great movie, stunning transfer... will watch the extras tomorrow...

[domino harvey]

DVDPlanet claims the DVD is in stock and ships within 24 hours, which is great since I preordered like 624 hours ago

Haven`t received mine yet. It was shipped last week. Is it a 2 disc set? if so: how is the packaging??

transfer is stellar; soundtrack transfer is also excellent and you know how much in this movie the soundtrack is as import as the picture; it reminds me a lot of Tarkovski's work.

I didn't want to watch the extra just after the film (which I've already seen several years ago) :

really interesting (but I would have liked more extras) :

- a long and interesting sequence/documentary of Bresson on set during Mouchette shooting.
It's interesting to see how Brersson works with actors; btw the interview of the actor (oops, "model") who plays Marcel and who also played in Au Hasard Balthazard is kick-ass (so much that I still wondering if he was "acting" for the interview or if he really spoke his mind)
really fascinating to see Bresson looking at the camera; same way that you can see Tarkovski working (especially on the documentary for the set on The Sacrifice on the Arte release)- how Bresson can interfer in the chief-operator camera's work, altough he gives suggestion and show he is a bit upset by a choice, he respects the choice of his cameraman in the end

- another interview of Bresson (again, too interesting and then too short)

- the J.L Godard trailer (cut in 1967). It's more than a trailer. You read that Godard first denied that he cut this trailer (which is a bit stupid because you can't believe that this is not a Godard work, because it features his usual play-on-words that he used since A Woman is A Woman). Very interesting.

- The essay is too....scholastic...

and no, sorry, no 2 DVD set (just 1) and a classic amaray (the new one, translucid; which will not deteriorated a booklet when it is big (which is not the case here, it is just a 4 pages booklet)

Of course, this movie deserved a 2 DVD treatment. But Mouchette speaks for itself.
I think that Pickpocket was better in terms of extra (the Paul Shrader interview was a must-have for me, because this extra isn't in the MK2 release. Shrarder could have said a few words about Mouchette too, because we can see again and again -what I would call- l'art du geste - what we can see a lot in Taxi Driver (the close-up on Travis'hands over Betsy's desk office; the close-up on money-bills- circulation of money between from hands to hands; that's what we can see then again in Mouchette)

sorry for my bad English, it's early in the morning and I'm just French

[TheGodfather]

Thanks for your answer. I received the DVD on Monday myself and watch the film right away. Never saw it before but I thought it was excellent. The transfer was really great, the commentary track (which I listened for about a half of it ) is really good and interesting as well. Haven`t watched the documentary`s yet though.

Really well recommended again!

[GringoTex]

I got confirmation for Green for Danger, Paul Robeson and Thieves. Woman and 49 Parallel are due on the 20th.

I received a shipment notice today from DVDPlanet for Fires on the Plain and The Burmese Harp (street date for both: 03-13-07). I'm pleased, of course, but I wasn't expecting them this early. Has anyone else received shipping confirmation on these titles?

I received my shipping notice as well.

[What A Disgrace]

Yep, I got my notice too...but one for each disc. Fires shipped on Thursday, and Harp yesterday.

[bjeggert82]

I got my 49th Parallel on Tuesday, shipped 2 day delivery, but the cover art card looked waterdamaged or something--like someone dumped bleach on it.

I called DVDplanet and they said they'll send a replacement right away as long as I send the damaged copy back. So I get the email confirmation for the replacement copy, and they're sending it media mail. I should receive it in about two weeks, if then.

Thanks, DVDplanet!

[What A Disgrace]

Naked City just shipped to me from DVDPlanet.

[blindside8zao]

my woman ascends actually never showed up. I order a lot from Planet and have never had this problem. They very promptly shipped me a new one though.

I received a shipping notice on Tuesday. Hasn't arrived yet (today is Thurs.), but I'd be happy if it arrived before the street date.

[justeleblanc]

Somewhat unrelated, but this is the first time DVD Planet has sent me anything before the street date, I just got Muriel in the mail today.
