I am a bit on the biase side when it come's to Jean Gabin. I do not know if Studio Canal will bother releasing it here in North America, I think it's been some months since one of their releases as been available here. If you can find the UK release at a good price maybe go that

amazon.com or amazon.ca? amazon.ca is so slow in posting the new releases sometimes

I have some DVD sets of Jean Gabin, I am not sure if they were available outside of Quebec since the entire boxes have only French writing on them? I also have the DVD of La Grande Illusion from Criterion. It's not my favorite movie from Gabin per say but the review of that UK release does seem very nice so I might just bite. The main trouble right now is that there are quite a few other things I would want before that one.

US site, Canadian site doesn't even have them yet, as usual. :rolleyes:

Why is June so hard to get Criterions?

I am so use to them showing up late I usually don't bother looking for them a month and half before release :)

Anyone have any luck replacing a defective disc thru Criterion? Unfortunately I ordered back in October and I just got around to watching it, so I can't return it to Amazon.

The disc (The Seventh Seal) just stops playing 1 hour and 20 minutes into the film, verified on 3 different players. The disc is in perfect condition.

There is a help section on Criterion which tells me to e-mail mulvaney@criterion.com if you have a defective disc, but I haven't gotten a response. So I just wanted to see what other people's experiences were before ordering a new copy.

The June titles are up for preorder on amazon.ca. As of now, several are $38 though. Hopefully they'll adjust this down to the usual $27.99.

I know...like the Artificial Eye Mizo blu boxset that I keep trying to convince myself to buy. AND the MoC Mizos as well...I knew buying a region free player was a mistake. :(

I'm sure they'll be up by June.

Hey Pat...I decided to jump on the UK Renoir and will likely cancel my Czech New Wave Eclipse set and wait for the sale in July. I usually jump on any films that are related to WWI/WWII and both La Grande Illusion and MoCs Lifeboat fit that bill. I'll take a pass on the Mizos for now and lick my wounds on these current purchases.

DAMN YOU ALL!!! ;) :)
