How come blu-ray.com never reviews BFI Flipsides; it would be nice to see a reviews of Schalcken the Painter and You're human like the rest of them.

Judex · 12-10-2013, 02:35 PM

They've reviewed quite afew of them. Well I say "they" I mean Pro-B.
Don't forget he's the only one who reviews UK releases, on top of US and other region releases. So he can't cover everything sadly.

The site does need to recruit another reviewer though. To help cover UK releases.

So my copy of Battleship Potemkin arrived, as did Institute Benjamenta. With Potemkin, which is the faulty disc and which is the correct one? Mine says v2...I'm guessing that's the corrected disc?

MichaelB...any word yet, as to when BFI will be releasing the next Ozu and what film(s) it will contain?

nitin · 12-17-2013, 02:14 AM

Has anyone got Cria Cuervos and if so can they please comment on quality, particularly how it comapres to the Criterion DVD? Have surprisingly not been able to find much info or reviews about this disc.

I agree.

I received Late Spring today and some prick stuck a sticker on the cover and now there's a bloody mark on it.

****ing amateurs.

The case looks fine but the sticker left a round dent shape, I'm not sure if that will pass in due course or the pressure of the sticker has made it a permanent mark.

All copies of Late Spring have a sticker on them, promoting the fact that the release also includes a copy of The Only Son. Unusually said sticker is on the actual case, as opposed to the usual place of the cellophane.

Simply replace the case then.

I've had it for a while and finally got around to watching it last night. I was very impressed with the picture quality -
quite painterly as someone said in the booklet.
Kudos to Michael B too for the essay on Anna Torrent.
Fantastic film. Brilliant perfromances, esp the kids.
And Anna Torrent shows how versatile she is after Spirit of the Beehive.
Astounding for someone so young.
Haven't seen the Criterion DVD, btw, but it couldn't look this good.
Most of the BFI stuff looks great, just tough when a major remaster eg Tokyo Story comes along.

Nitin, I will post a review this weekend.

Pro-B

nitin · 12-20-2013, 01:35 AM

thanks pro-b and also thanks cool hand bluke.

This is an amazing film so if the blu is worth getting, I will definitely be getting it.

Yeah I normally find stickers put on the cellophane, I'll have to live with it unfortunately.

No, I'll rather ***** and moan until the animosity leaves my veins.

I'll be alright.

Pre-ordered for The Epic of Everest. I have a gut feeling that, like The Great White Silence, this is going to be something special!

Same here. Great White Silence was my favourite Blu-ray of 2011, I must have watched it a dozen times since. If The Epic of Everest is half as good, it should be something pretty special. Very much looking forward to it.
