Are they not selling the individual Tati films anymore? I'm trying to pickup playtime and mon oncle and they are over 100 on amazon uk. I'd rather not wait for the box.

The rights are with Studio Canal, so, no. It's less than two weeks away from the release of the box set, for £40 I think it was. Doubt you'll get a better price buying the individual ones from BFI now that they are OOP.

You'd be much better off buying the box-set. Annoyingly I saw Playtime/Jour De Fete/Mon Oncle for only around £5-8 for a while on Play.com but then suddenly they shot up in price and I can't get hold of them now unless I get the set. I did get Mr Hulot's Holiday though for a few quid (under a fiver)!

Okay thank you. I was unaware of Studio Canal getting the rights - their box set is UGLY lol. I hope it has all the features and nice transfers.

Classe Tous Risques Blu-ray REVIEW







Pro-B

[BAKA]

Someone has stolen your booklet pro-b!

I hope this is still cheap in HMV (£10.99 last I heard?). I'll pick up a copy this week if I can find it.

[ZeTi]

Great Review, thanks B. Hope we'll get more classic french crime on BD. Would love to see some Yves Boisset in High Def.

I'm really interested in the director now after reading up on him and Refn. Was just interested in some thoughts of the film as there's no review and I've never heard of it.
