Once you sign up, they'll give you an actual UK address you'll use when you order things online. It will be shipped to that address. Once they receive the package,they'll contact you as far as as fees (shipping, etc.) before they ship it your US address.

Awesome, thanks!

I was able to order it shipped to the US from that first link in the thread. Now I suppose I'll cancel it and get the UK one.

Darth Marcus · 10-09-2020, 09:46 PM

The more and more these types of titles come to 4K, the more and more I'm tempted to sell off just about the entirety of my Criterion Collection. They don't want to hop on the 4K train? Well that's $ lost for them.

Oh my dear sweet Lord.... I'm just now seeing this thread. Off to order the UK edition, because this is one of my all-time favorite films.

EDIT: Maybe I'll wait a bit. It's out of stock on Amazon UK, and I want to read more about the picture quality.

Diabolik has it for US people if you don’t want to go the Amazon UK route.

It’s been sold out for awhile. Just like it’s sold out on Amazon UK.

It's not "sold out", it's in stock for delivery as fast as tomorrow.

If you key in a UK postcode, you'll see the product listing magically go from out of stock or "Temporarily out of stock" to available, just like that. Virtually all titles are in stock and available for delivery to the UK, but many are showing out of stock or "Temporarily out of stock" to the USA, and probably other countries.

In other words, Amazon.co.uk is pulling the same shit they've been pulling since August. I guess they got tired of people complaining about the red delivery restriction messages on the listings, so they set most of the restricted items to simply show as available from third parties or "Temporarily out of stock" even though they themselves have plenty.

I hope so, as long as a new restoration is used because the existing restoration is... shit, simply put.
So bad that the older DVD-era master Criterion smartly used for their Blu-ray is leagues better. I may have read that the "new" restoration was done at 4K, but even if only the scan was, a new restoration using it would be superb, as it's just the awful filtering that ruined it.

It won't be. If there is to be another Melville film on 4K UHD in the future, the next is likely to be Army of Shadows - the other Melville film that was released as part of the digibook 'Studio Canal Collection'.

Le Samourai isn't owned by Canal but by Pathe (or Rene Chateau).

PowellPressburger · 10-10-2020, 05:48 PM

The one 4K transfer I wish that could get a Studio Canal do over is THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH.

I remember buying the Studio Canal blu and couldn't believe how blown out and awful that transfer looked!

It needs a re-do with David M. and a 4K release for sure.

I just wish Studio Canal would also try a title like THE TALES OF HOFFMANN on 4K because that film pops on the 4K transfer they released on BLU several years ago. Just would love to see that and Last Year at Marienbad get 4Ks

Totally agree with The Man Who Fell to Earth!

I was never expecting this to get a 4K Blu-ray release in the UK. I thought it was only gonna get one in France and Germany.

cash_black · 10-18-2020, 10:06 PM

Any word on who is overseeing the transfer?

dwk · 10-18-2020, 10:13 PM

According to this Hiventy was responsible for this restoration, but who knows what they used for reference.

andreasy969 · 10-21-2020, 06:09 PM

The French release is listed with 3 discs/with a 3rd bonus disc now: https://www.amazon.fr/Le-Cercle-Roug.../dp/B08FP3SQPV

Same here: https://www.dvdfr.com/dvd/f300647-ce...t=autocomplete

I'm pretty sure that it didn't say so when I pre-ordered with amazon.fr.

It was available on Monday at any rate and wasn't anymore already yesterday (or even before that). Just FYI, because I noticed. I noticed the 3 only today.
