Affliction (Paul Schrader, Nick Nolte, January 2024)

...and James Coburn, Sissy Spacek and Willem Dafoe. Quite a cast.

Hopefully it's a decent transfer.

Never enough Schrader.

Nice! Great movie! Thanks OP!

Shame this doesn’t include the interviews/BTS from the Artificial Eye DVD.

I've off-loading 200+ DVDs over the years but if there's extras I always keep the disc until I know for sure what the Blu-ray has.

I still have the AE DVD (5021866172309) and it's had nasty releases from Prisim, Boulevard and Fox even had a go. The Columbia release in France had the same interviews.

With Youtube it matters much less now as that's where I usually find the best stuff.

The best solution would be to get some extra 2 disc cases and combine them so no shelf space is wasted.

Now that is a title that I never expected to get a blu-ray release. Underrated film and one that I will be getting on release.

Didn’t realise this was coming out. What a release! Waited years for this. I’ll order now. Great great film.

One of Shrader's finest films and a best supporting actor award for James Coburn.
Just ordered this brilliant and disturbing film. Time to retire my dvd!

Mine arrived yesterday, will watch it tonight. I really have to start waiting for reviews before ordering! Guess I'll be buying the Shout release also.

It's a total bugger I got badly stung with the Joanna Hogg Collection

I guess it's suck it and see sometimes

The packaging was a bit shady about it. Blu-ray.com also listed it as 1080p (not anymore btw). And I don't remember it being mentioned on amazon.de. We could not have known.

But to be fair: I did not expect this anymore in 2024. And I haven't had this experience before with German releases.

Completely agree. Who would have thought Affliction would suddenly get multiple releases.

How does the German Disc look?

It looks much, much better than my previous dvd did. This isn't a movie that was meant to be visually exiting, the photography wasn't what I'd call the main priority. It's a great film and I'll be getting the Shout version also when it drops in price which won't take long, but I doubt it will be a big improvement in the overall look from this German edition.
