The old thread apparently disappeared in the crash

Thanks for the review! I've been intrigued about this film for a while and your highly positive opinion has upped my interest further. I'm glad that all is well in the video and audio department.

You are welcome. I think that if you have the Criterion DVD release, you will be enormously pleased with the new presentation.

great review pro-b, and what an amazing price from amazon--only 8 pounds.

wow!

There are two soundtracks both in English.

So wasn't this film released in both English and Italian? Meaning the actors mouths aren't sync'd properly with English because they aren't speaking English?

I've never seen the film, but always prefer the native language of the film over english voice over dubbing.

Thanks for the review, can replace my DVD at last

I love this film.

The picture from the Criterion DVD could be easily confused for vomit that had been spewed all over your TV.

I remember wondering if the disc I got was a bootleg of a bootleg that got aborted by it's bootlegger.

As always, thanks Pro-B.

Yeah I put my pre order in when it went down to this price last week. Great price! Great movie!

Saw this last night on DVD. It's absurd, even trashy, but strangely compelling. The soundtrack and Charlotte Rampling's performance are incredible. I do wish there had been some supplements on this BD, even just a short interview with Ms. Rampling would have been nice.

dallywhitty · 07-29-2012, 06:34 PM

Has anybody received their copy yet? HMV dispatched mine on Wednesday and I'm used to their pre-orders arriving two or three days before the release date, yet this one hasn't. (I don't mean to sound like some spoilt bastard who believes any film I pre-order should arrive early - it just struck me as odd.

My copy arrived from Amazon UK this morning, a quick look tells me the review is right. This movie looks great, but extras would have been very welcome.

dallywhitty · 07-30-2012, 08:06 PM

My copy arrived this morning. I decided I may as well post pictures of the artwork. I also took pictures of me pulling stupid faces with it (one of which has me unintentionally imitating Charlotte Rampling's facial expression), but they're too horrifying for online viewing.

On a slightly different note, this is also a fantastic film and release (see below), very much worth owning. The film was screened at the Cannes Film Festival.
