FINALLY! That's all I gotta say!! Makes sense that Germany releases it first
Pre-order notification set!

Been waiting for this - indeed, I last checked on Friday.

I'll wait a little longer for the almost inevitable MoC version, though.

Just remember, even though it's a silent film, any intertitles will be in German, probably without subs on this German release.

I wouldn't bet on that. Seems kind of silly to put out a subtitled promo

subtitled promo video

if the feature won't have them. Universum's M had subs.

I'm curious about the Nosferatu release scheduled for the same day...wondering what (if any) differences between this release and those by MoC/Kino.

Even if it doesn't have subs, I'll get it, it's a silent film, I'll make do, lol. Not worth waiting for a US release which may never happen. This is movie history and I'm very excited to add it to my collection.

saw the 4k restoration a few months ago on tv.
it looked fantastic

I've never seen this film. Will wait for the review before I purchase.

The Blu-ray.com entry now states: Subtitles

"German, German SDH


Note: No English subtitles"

Which is a real shame if it holds true.

It is. I can't remember with silent films that have inter-titles do they have different cards for different languages (when they're multiple-language releases) or just have subtitles underneath the original language?

Nice! I saw this for the first time 2 or 3 years ago. Wonderful and visually amazing film but the DVD PQ stunk. I definitely look forward to a top notch HD restoration

I contacted the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung and have received the following mail regarding the upcoming German BD:

(...) Von [Giuseppe] Becce gibt es keine durchkomponierte Musik. Wahrscheinlich gab es eine Kompilation. Aus dieser sind drei Stücke erhalten, deren Stil Grundlage für eine neue Musik der Musikhochschule in Freiburg war. Diese wird auf der BluRay sein. Als Bonusmaterial gibt es eine 50minütige Dokumentation zum Weimarer Kino, ein kleines Makingof zur Restaurierung und Arbeitsbeispiele sowie ein Booklet.

... which roughly translates into:

"There is no through-composed music from [Giuseppe] Becce. It was probably a compilation. From this three pieces are preserved whose style formed the basis for a new music of the Musikhochschule in Freiburg which will be on the Blu-ray. As special features/extras there is a 50-minute documentary on Weimar cinema, a small making-of on restoration and working examples as well as a booklet."

The documentary should be this one: http://www.arte.tv/guide/de/049243-0...r-ins-kino-kam
