might be worth collecting the whole series if they keep releasing these movies.

just wondering if these releases will have decent subs, king of pigs didnt have good subs after all

I'll probably ultimately be passing on this since I've already got the film as I don't like to double dip if I can't help it (not to mention fraud alerts that hit my card). Still a great looking release.

decided to do the same. i already own the criterion boxset. and there might be very well more of these movies released in the future. and i dont really like the look of this collection. i would rather prefer a cheaper amaray release....

i doubt the KOFA movies will be limited to these releases anyway.

I think I'm going to pre-order through YesAsia tho, as shipping fees on PA are wacky ($12 minimum).

i would very much prefer a collection of the top 10 movies similar to the korean chaplin collection....

The majority would disagree.


(top-notch packaging!)

ps. in the end I pre-ordered only Hanyo, coz judging from the 10' minutes I've seen at YT, The March of Fools looks like anything but a great film... maybe I'm gonna place an order later on.

hanyo is pretty good. i saw it on hulu for the first time and own the criterion WCP. i have the remake as well. both movies are very much different movies. but still good.

but yeah.. the time im gonna spend 30-40$ on a single movie is mostly over. alot of these asian movies show up as US release for 10$ later or get a "plain" rerelease for 19$ after a few months...

Since Plain are charging 27.50 would I be right in assuming that there won't be standard editions later on for these KOFA releases?
