Criterion Antichrist $20.99 from amazon.ca?

[kinoeye]

The pre-order price for Antichrist on amazon.ca from the blu-ray.com link is $20.99

Is this a mistake? Can I jump on this for a highly discounted copy of the film? Is it getting a non-criterion BD release in Canada?

Any info. would be appreciated. I may go ahead and order.

The one listed at 20.99 IS NOT the Criterion release. Anything listed as 'Paradox' on amazon.ca must be dealt with carefully. They bring over many US blus (such as the actual Criterion disc currently listed at $29.05), but also handle E1 Entertainment, Seville Pictures & a few other small companies' releases. This particular cheaper version of Antichrist is being released by E1 Entertainment, and just may have different extras than the Criterion set.

The exact same thing occurred when Che was released last year. There's the Criterion import, as well as the Paradox/E1 2-disc release that had exclusive extras in a nice box set that looked nothing like the Criterion version of Che.

Thanks, I'll probably cancel my order. Sigh, one day maybe there will be a Criterion sale worth taking advantage of in or from Canada (I missed the last deepdiscount one).

Cheers!

There will be another Barnes and Nobel sale in November I believe, as well as Black Friday for Amazon.com.

I called up Barnes and Nobel and they said that, as long as you don't use "Expedient or Next Day" they will ship with USPS

Really? Fantastic! I was under the impression they wouldn't ship to Canada.
