Will this include the same titles that BFI released on Blu-ray and are they new transfers?

It'll be interesting to see if there are any different special features

Yes, I'm pretty happy with my BFI Tatis but would be tempted to double dip if there was some new and interesting stuff in this release.

Trafic, Parade, Playtime, Mon Oncle, Les Vacances De M. Hulot, Jour De Fete.

Traffic and Parade on Blu-ray? I'm definitely getting this then as I only have those ones on DVD. I'm not sure how much of a marked improvement those two will be though, but I'll wait and see

If the other four titles are using the same prints and extras as the BFI releases, then I hope those two titles are released separately, as £41 (at the moment) is a lot to spend on just two titles

I will be enormously surprised if StudioCanal do NOT use the new restos that were screened in France this summer:

That will be excellent news. I'm not too fussed if there are no different special features, but the new restorations are a must

Like I said, it wasn't just a simple screening at Cannes, but a celebration of Tati's work, it would be shocking if they used old transfers. The celebration received big coverage in the French media, and abroad. So, Jour... is probably a lock to be the new 2K resto.

The new resto for Parade, which you like, was just screened at Lumiere in Lyon as well.

I would expect the UK release to pretty much match Studio Canal's upcoming French set

[Blu Titan]

Not sure if this has been discussed, but all of the movies in the box set are getting individual releases on December 8 .

I'd never watched Jour de Fête all the way through before, I always struggled with the colour version on the BFI disc. I'm glad to say I watched the 1949 b&w version from StudioCanal last night, and loved it. Looks great, and it's a typical Tati film, good-natured and full of inventive sight/sound gags.

Im looking into Playtime, and dvdbeaver says the BFI release has a "feature commentary by Philip Kemp", and the Criterion has "selected scene commentary by Philip Kemp". Yet Dvdbeaver's review states that the BFI "includes the same Philip Kemp commentary as found on the Criterion".

Can anyone tell me if any of the releases contain a full length commentary or just selected scenes? And if so, is it is included on the StudioCanal boxset? Thanks

The BFI has the full Philip Kemp commentary
The Criterion (original) has 46 minutes of the Philip Kemp commentary
The Criterion (boxset) has 46 minutes of the Philip Kemp commentary
Studio Canal does not have the Kemp commentary

Thanks very much! I wonder why they didn't use the whole track. Got to decide whether the BFI is worth buying now. I suppose it would have a booklet which I do enjoy.

That's if you can find a copy...isn't it OOP?

[manicsounds]

Yes, the BFI ones are out of print.

Is anyone able to post some images of the physical boxset? I have seen photos of the French version which looks great but Im guessing the UK is not the same.

Not got pics (have the Criterion myself) but if I remember correctly it’s thin cardboard with the films in skinny blue amarays.

The Criterion pees all over the SC collection.

[Sifox211]

Actually they’re very similar (apart from the packaging). The SC is a lot cheaper.
