Francois Truffaut Collection

Includes the films

The Man Who Loved Women
The Wild Child
Mississipi Mermaid
The Story of Adele H
The Bride Wore Black

Hardly amazing news but for those interested...

Nice to see The Bride Wore Black back in the marketplace.

Does anyone know what's still precluding The Green Room from a home video release? MGM should still own it, but are there any rights hassles surrounding it? I saw Anne and Muriel/Two English Girls and thought it was remarkable, and now I'm much keener to see Truffaut's "darker" movies.

Criterion did release TWO ENGLISH GIRLS on to laserdisc years ago so i do hope that they can release a special dvd with extras on it. It's one of my favorite Truffaut films and since Criterion did release THE SOFT SKIN on laserdisc so why not a dvd release on that one too?

Of course, MK2 in France has already released stellar English-friendly DVDs of both films with excellent extras, all subtitled.

Here in the states we only have Fox Lorber releases that were made 7 years ago with trailers for his other movies. Another good reason to have an all code NTSC/PAL dvd player too see the dvd releases from other countries!.....

Wow! Since MGM makes one single R2 disc for all European countries, it's just a waiting game until that makes it over to the UK. Thanks!

I suspect all the MK2 Truffauts will appear from Criterion at some point (boxset for his final three?) - Wellspring has lost them and Janus now has them back in the fold.
