[Scottie]

I really like Christopher Nolan and I own all his films but this. I heard this was really good, so absolutely going to get this!

[Dave_6]

Hell yes!

[MifuneFan]

Those extras sound

[Scorpion Soldier]

So since this is a Criterion release, this is pretty much guaranteed region locked isn't it?

Yes.

[chad_1138]

That just made my day

By the way, if you have Netflix and want to see this before paying the Criterion price for a 70 minute film, you can stream it.

[TauHeel05]

Fn Word! This is fantastic news!

[Idiot E. Que]

Dayum, this is going to be a significant upgrade from the region 2 DVD I'll bet. Can't wait.

[Snicket]

Has anybody ever seen this? How was it?

[xheatowin]

I've never heard of this movie. Is this Nolan's first film?

Yes. This would be his first feature after a run with the short films: Tarantella, Larceny, and Doodlebug.

Great concept. My recommendation depends on how you are generally with directors' early indie work. How do you feel about, say, THX1138 and early Kubrick like Killer's Kiss?

[Morsoth]

I'll blind buy this one.

I still have to buy "Insomnia" and "The Machinist" and I'll have the whole collection!

It has an indie feel to it, but the film is unmistakably Nolan, it features non-chronological story telling and a theme of altered perceptions of reality. If you enjoyed Memento, I imagine you may like this as well.

Thanks for the replies. I generally like/love indie work of early directors (excluding THX1138). I'll have to check this out on Netflix.

The Machinist wasn't done by Christopher Nolan.

[deltasun]

Awesome news!

[starman15317]

Ever since I saw this one a couple of years ago, I thought that a Criterion release would make sense. I'm so happy that they're releasing it!

I was just about to say the same thing...
