I'd just like to point out to people who complain about criterion's pricing, that there are many releases like this now, priced at $29.99 and with no or very minimal extras.
thankyou.

Yeah, apparently the pig is supposed to represent the piggy bank we all are going to have to break if we want this. Nuh-uh.

due to recent sales, Criterions are very inexpensive, even with shipping to canada for a guy like me. Although I do think i have a valid complaint with the cost of criterions in canada. It's ridiculous. I paid 73.99 for The Battle of Algiers Set.

A commentary track and two featurettes don`t come close to being barebones if you ask me. How many Criterions have you bought for a $40 MSRP just for having a commentary?

Where is Marc Caro in all of this? No mention of him anywhere.

To add further fuel to the fire of weirdness with the early Miramax catalog, Lionsgate will be issuing a special edition DVD of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro's film, even though the Miramax edition appears to still be widely available. Details still to come.
Delicatessen
due 8-26-08
From the director of Amelie (Jean-Pierre Jeunet) comes a post-apocalyptic comedy that's both bitingly hilarious and absolutely one-of-a-kind. When meat becomes so rare that it is used as currency, residents living above a delicatessen must depend on a menacingly strange butcher (Jean-Claude Dreyfus) for their supply. But when a new tenant (Dominique Pinon) arrives and takes a job as the building's handyman, he unknowingly steps into the butcher's trap...to serve him as the next meal!

I just noticed that. Is this a Studio Canal title?

I'll pick this up. Delicatessen was the first non-R1 DVD I bought, and I'd rather have a decent R1 edition anyday, the UK disc is pretty mediocre.

From dvdactive-
Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced a special edition of Delicatessen which stars Dominique Pinon, Jean-Claude Dreyfus, and Ticky Holgado. The film will be available to own from the 26th August, and should retail at around $19.98. The film itself will be presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen, along with a French Dolby Stereo soundtrack. English subtitles will also be provided. Extras will include a commentary with director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, a “Fine Cooked Meats: The Making of Delicatessen” featurette, rehearsals and behind-the-scenes footage from the set, a photo gallery, and the trailers.
This sounds like all the same extras that the Miramax dvd has on it. And if thats still in print, why is Lionsgate even bothering with it?

That's a good question. I imagine the Miramax actually did go out of print very recently (or will by August) and online retailers just have lots of them in stock. Lionsgate just isn't giving any courtesy period before releasing their own version. If nothing else, the Lionsgate has an MSRP ten dollars less than than the Miramax, for what appears to be the same disc.

It seems to me that Lionsgate is just burning through all their previous earned goodwill with all these shitty recent releases.

I'm optimistic that once they get some of the less necessary/botched releases out of the way (releasing a carbon copy edition of Delicatessan simply because they acquired the rights, fucking up Diva's transfer/offering up mediocre extras, High Noon's transfer being the only real positive to LG's new release, their most recent Studio Canal collections being more lackluster than the previous ones/featuring overlapping titles, etc) that they'll start putting out killer stuff like the Renoir and Godard sets again. Once the most eagerly-awaited Republic titles start (with any luck) flowing, for instance, I think we'll be more willing to cut LG some slack.
And this "new" release of Delicatessan surely won't be all bad; I can see the Miramax edition hitting the remainder/discontinued bins for dirt cheap...

I'm surprised that they didn't slap it with the Meridian Collection label. Everyone I've talked to can't understand why High Noon wasn't released on Blu also. Why hold off on it if your going to put out a new 2 disc edition. I think I got my copy of the Miramax edition for $14.99 when it came out.

The
DVDTalkreview mentions that the only thing new is a 5.1 French audio mix. I supposed that the transfer still the same, right?

I have put my old R2 up on Marketplace for sale and ordered the Lionsgate edition after seeing on Beaver how they messed up the colours on the European releases - I've seen Delicatessen theatrically and the R1 is without question the more accurate presentation of the film.
