My very nice DVD edition:


Now that's a bit of thoughtful distribution.

It's BFI, what did you expect? Same templates, typefaces and and poor colour choices every time, plus that horrible logo (lens flares in 2011? Seriously?)

2. A brand new score by Mordant Music;
3. Commentary by Robert Short (from the BFI DVD, but with better synchronisation).

Excellent. Was going to buy this anyway so this is icing on the cake.

Excellent news! How did it change though? Un chien andalou was originally to be SD-only, correct?

Does anyone know for sure if this one is gonna be Region Free?

That said, I don't have a physical copy of the disc or a non-Region B player to try it out with, so you might have to wait for a review from DVD Beaver or a similar site that actually checks out the region code.

Well, I guess I'll wait, but you give me hope. Thanks for the info!

not long now until this comes out.
thinking about pre-ordering it today.

Okay, got carried away when I saw some of the items in my amazon cart go down in price ad immedately checked out before remembering I still didn't know for sure if this was Region Free. Okay, if it isn't, it'll be waitingfor whenever I do purchase a Region Free player, but I certainly hope I can watch it ASAP.
