Fuckin' A. Best company in the world.

I have or will get 7 of the 8 Blu releases, and another 4-5 of the DVDs- release for release, I don't know that any label in the world can compare.

As long as you buy Coeur Fidele you're good

Haha, the only one I'm skipping is Harakiri, and that's only because of the overlap with Criterion. I melted a computer down getting Coeur Fidele to play and I still don't regret getting that sucker.

I'll buy all the dual-format releases in the near future except for the Antonioni's.

And then I'll get 'round to the Lang, Murnau and Imamura DVDs.

It was kind of a slow year for Blu-rays (11 releases last year vs 8 this year) but we now know the reason and it ended with a bang. Next year will be wonderful, I'm sure.

I was able to catch up with last year releases but I still need to get two Blu-rays from this year plus the upcoming four of course.

I got Profound Desires of the Gods! Now I just need to get a BluRay player, or make friends with someone who owns one...

Let's hope all that love lubricates some more Eptein coming down the pipe. Finis Terrae is not a cert for the Potemkine box for example.

Oh why not:

Best Releases:

A Man Vanishes
Coeur fidele
The Ballad of Narayama
Pigs and Battleships
Touch of Evil

Best Supplement:

Commentary/ies on Tiger and Tomb - made it worth buying these discs even though I already had the excellent Fantoma edition and don 't even like the films!

Best Cover:
La signora senza camelie

Best Release:
1) Coeur fidele
2) (tie) La signora senza camelie & Le amiche
4) Fritz Lang's Indian Epic
5) Schloss Vogelöd

Best Supplement: I really need to buy the Indian Epic and listen to the Kalat comms. They're always great.

Best Cover: La signora senza camelie... but any of the covers in the stylings of classic poster art are a winner.

Agreed I had them on a French box-set and had also been largely indifferent to them: I've still to watch the second film, but I'll be watching it with commentary on, also!
