Jerzy was in the CC last week.

Definitely the best closet vid I've seen. Normally they're a bit embarrassing

The newest one is the best I’ve seen. Amir Naderi. So much passion.

I hope Amir Naderi's The Runner gets a BD release at some point whether it's Criterion or someone else. I've seen HD rips of both The Runner & Harmonica in recent months & they both looked great (especially compared to what i'd seen before).

Great news! Can't wait for that now, and to see EO too of course.

However, we've ended up with the first and last of the Andrzej Leszczyc trilogy and not the middle film, Walkover, nor Skolimowski's other Polish production from that period, Barrier.

Luckily I have Walkover as part of this set, but not Barrier:

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting that link. So much passion. It didn't hurt that he chose titles I live by either

Is that a Blu Ray set?

Interesting seeing the details of all three volumes. I have individual releases of the Kieślowski, Polanski, Has that feature across the volumes but there's so much more there. A great pity the runs were so very limited.

Just a couple of quick questions.

Did Nineteen Eighty Four ever come with a booklet?

And for the Americans, do any of you know of some place in the US where you can order back issues of Sight & Sound online (sadly, due to Brexit, it has become much easier for me to have things sent by the way of my US re-shipper instead of straight from the UK).

Yes. Mine did

[koberulz]

The copy of 1984 I received last week had a booklet.

[Rayjg]

Wasn't there issues with the booklet too?

Yes. But that was sorted ages ago and replacement booklets offered.

What issues?

The booklet was corrected straight away so there shouldn't be any faulty ones out there

Interesting. None of the shots of the backside of the cover I can find online mention anything about a booklet, and neither does the BFI shop (which is why I assumed it either never came with one, or the booklet was already OOP).
