You might also try ebay and get the inexpensive Italian edition from Ermitage (not sure whether that one is in print right now). Very good image quality, French intertitles, optional Italian subs, same soundtrack but thankfully NO voice-over!

Try ebay.it

Thanks for the tip, guys!

Just a heads-up if someone is looking for the American release: David Kalat's All Day Entertainment currently has it for sale for a mere $5

A few suggestions for MoC for next year or 2012, all Japanese titles:

Kurosawa's Cure (Japan's scariest film after Audition)

two Kore-eda films: Afterlife (that is, if the previous UK distributor no longer has the rights) & Maboroshi no Hikari

Golden Slumber (2010)

and for Eureka's line:

Gallants (2010) on DVD + Blu-Ray

Any updates on Caligari, Nibelungenlied and Mizoguchi boxset?

yeah I`d like to have that option as well

Maybe I've missed something but it's already middle of December and still no news?

Nick mentioned in the February DVD thread that the as yet unannounced projects are taking them longer than anticipated (hence Eureka's decision to release a few titles on DVD to fill the gap) and I think MoC only make official announcements about a month or two prior to release now. Could be another four weeks before the March or April line-ups are revealed.

We'll be announcing two all new Blu-rays on Wednesday 15th December.

Woohoo! I hope one of them is Nibelungen

They might both be Nibelungen. (And I wouldn't complain.)

Hmm, the same day as Criterion announcements. I sense a possible overlap that could nevertheless be very exciting.

We haven't even started working on DIE NIBELUNGEN I'm afraid, but it's on the griddle for 2011.

looking forward to see what those announcements will be though

Just don't let it burn! In the meantime, I am going to make the completely unreasonable assumption that one of the titles is Epstein's Finis terrae. :-"

Just wondering if MoC could licence something from Gaumont. They have release quite a few great, but non English friendly, Blu-rays recently.

and hopefully more from Zhang Ke Jia, after the wonderfull release of The World [-o<

Hopefully region-free.

Ossos with a two hour conversation with Costa on the side maybe?

I'm slightly more interested right now in what Nick's going to announce today as it could be absolutely anything....

It's half 6 Nick, will you be appearing soon?

Was announcements still going to happen today?

29 minutes left. Maybe we'll still get an announcement.

Le Amiche on DVD and Blu is one (via Twitter).

Just saw the new restoration a few weeks ago. Absolutely beautiful.
