Arrow Academy (off-shoot to Arrow Films)

[The Driver]

Just seen johndoyle123's post about Les Diaboliques

Only things I can find so far are:

The Bicycle Thieves (released 2011)


http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002XT3896/

and..

Andrzej Wajda's Ashes and Diamonds (March 2011) -damned if I can recall seeing this.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004CSKD2Q/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052080/

http://www.arrowfilms.co.uk/index.ph...07b1ae0aefd7f4 -don't see a separte section there yet.

I like Arrow especially what they do with some of their thoughtful artwork. Great back-catalogue too.

Bicycle Thieves was scheduled long ago, but never came out for whatever reason.
I'm sure it will eventually.

Wow - that's an unexpected title, but let's hope it's a good transfer.

Hmmm... a couple of people in this thread https://forum.blu-ray.com/united-kin...ml#post4035210 don't agree with you.

I have the Polish BD but haven't watched it with a critical eye yet - maybe I need to take another look at it.

Arrow Films has an amazing catalogue, of obscure/foreign flicks

[The Driver]

BTW, those wanting to support Arrow a bit might be interested in their £2.99 sale http://www.arrowfilms.co.uk/index.ph...category_id=19

All DVDs but certainly a few interesting titles.

Arrow Academy have now announced Rififi as their next release after The Bicycle Thieves and Les Diabolique. Loving the artwork on all of them, shame I just don't have the pennies to get them yet

[zombeaner]

FYI, in addition to The Bicycle Thieves, Les diaboliques, and Rififi; Arrow Academy also now have The Conformist and Ashes and Diamonds to the Blu-ray collection and Il Generale Della Rovere and The Garden of the Finzi-Continis on DVD only.

Shame Ashes And Diamonds has been delayed till September - hmv still have it listed as a release of March 21st and 'out of stock'. As for the The Conformist - thats awesome news, I'm fairly sure that it never had a uk dvd release?

From Arrow, there should be a press release about them tomorrow, although I'm told no further details or release dates will be available just yet.

And no, The Conformist hasn't been on UK DVD till now.

[adamhopelies]

Great news about The Conformist.

[kinoeye]

The Conformist? Blu Ray? Please! Region free?

[Bruce Morrison]

If I could have only one foreign language film on Blu-ray, I would probably choose The Conformist. Amazing film.

[zombeaner]

I've asked about region coding on the new titles, I'll let you know if I can get any confirmation.

[antmumford]

Can't wait to see the artwork and specs for these new releases. Still nothing up on their website yet
