MUBI Releases on Blu-ray and DVD - Page 23 - Blu-ray Forum

CelestialAgent · 08-01-2023, 03:36 PM

Holy Spider now down to £10.99 on HMV.

However looks like the US Blu-ray has more extras as in addition to the Abbasi/Amirpour Q&A it features:

Q&A with moderator Reza Safai at Laemmle Town Center
Q&A at IFC Center with Ali Abbasi
Interviews with Ali Abbasi, Jacob Jarek, Mehdi Bajestani, Sol Bondy and Zar Amir-Ebrahimi

I saw Close at a local cinema the other night, and as far as the Blu-ray goes, I think I'm going to skip it. It's very much a film of two halves, and while the first one was wonderful, the focus changes after a key event, and I found what followed to be far less interesting. I felt similarly about Oppenheimer, which I saw a couple of nights prior (although they're two very different films otherwise).

Really want a First Cow copy, but with a slip. And judging from all the images on Amazon.co.uk/Rarewaves/eBay...they no longer come with a slip.

T4ffer · 08-02-2023, 05:41 PM

AFAIK Mubi titles always come in a slip

Sifox211 · 08-02-2023, 10:08 PM

Not long after it came out I saw a copy of First Cow in HMV and it had no slip. I’d just bought the US release too - if the Mubi had had a slip I might have bought it!

I bought First Cow a couple of days ago from Amazon UK and it came with a slip, also in the newer scanavo case opposed to what the stock image showed.

Do we know if it ever came in that sort of case? Would have been around the time MUBI switched over to scanavos and UTSL changed over.

I'm honestly not sure. I know they've since gone back and changed the cases for the first few releases like Border, Under the Silver Lake and Suspiria, which I also ordered recently and all came with slips.

DAT_JB · 08-11-2023, 08:58 PM

I bought First Cow in November 2021 and it already came in a scanavo case then.

RossyG · 08-12-2023, 08:18 AM

Putting a slipcover with a front and back identical to the inner sleeve on a Scanavo case has got to be the pointless thing ever.

Sifox211 · 08-12-2023, 11:50 AM

I think what redeems them is the texture on the slipcover, which gives it a nice, quality feel. But otherwise I agree.

One Fine Morning is barebones, though hopefully it at least has better compression than the US Sony Pictures Classics release.

For a change I‘m very happy to provide you with very positive news.

The MUBI BD is a revelation compared to the SPC.

Fantastic encoding and all-around gorgeous to look at.

Thank you MUBI, this is a real treat of a physical media release. They‘ve really stepped up their game after having some disappointing early BD releases like Suspiria but now they‘ve become beautifully consistent. Aftersun also looks phenomenal. At this point I'm looking forward to all of their coming BDs and hope there’s more to come, maybe even some catalogue titles and more UHDs.

Who released this in the US & is it region free?

Utopia, so I would assume it would be Region A locked.

If it is Utopia then why isn't it on the Vinegar Syndrome site?

CelestialAgent · 08-24-2023, 11:20 PM

There are a few partner labels who will have the odd title that only gets a general retail release and no slipcover, has happened with Altered Innocence and Music Box for example, I have no idea why and it seems kind of arbitrary.

Even so it should still be on the Vinegar Syndrome site.

But now the decision is even more difficult - blind buy a UHD? I've liked the director's previous films, but that doesn't necessarily indicate that I'll like this. Maybe I'll rent it on Apple TV first.
