Agree. Strand? Skeptical.

I was really hoping for Criterion to step in, as they did have the title mentioned on their site.

Why?

Their SDVD output should not be indicative of their (future) Blu-ray output.

Looks to be a superb documentary, but at MSRP of $34.99, that still will leave this at a +$24.99 mark, roughly.
At 90 mins., I hope it goes down quite a bit, say near $20 or so.

$18.99 at FamilyVideo.com!! Tell Amazon!

Looks like this title sold out really fast on amazon earlier in the week. Seems to be back in stock now. It isn't the cheapest price at all, but I really want to see it this weekend so I ordered it on my prime account.

anyone else already watch it? (If so does the release come with a slipcover?)

I watched this tonight. It's a great documentary about a superb cameraman - and let's not forget he directed some movies, too.

The doc looks great, and the clips range from crystal clear to adequate. The best clips seemed to me the ones from the Powell-Pressburger films, which perhaps shouldn't be a surprise. Some of the other ones, notably The Vikings and War and Peace, looked a bit hazy - those movies have yet to receive a HD transfer, to the best of my knowledge, so perhaps the filmmakers were limited in the clip availability?

Haven't seen the extras yet, but will do so soon.
