All Quiet on the Western Front 4K UHD (Im Westen nichts Neues 4K) (2022)

[KubrickKurasawa]

Cool, a lot of people liked this one and I believe it's Oscar nominated 9X.

[Hedrox]

It's owned by Netflix pretty much everywhere outside Germany, so I'm a bit doubtful.

There’s a world I can imagine the budget crunch Netflix would look into seeing how some titles could be further monetized, but just think its a little odd this title would appear before Don’t Look Up or Glass Onion in terms of titles Criterion probably wouldn’t do.

That listing is for the version with English title and booklet. The German version has already been announced. You should check this thread https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=359102

The German release is a German release, though - if this is truly being put out by MPI it means it’s gone through Netflix which seems significant.

[Akijama]

Yeah, this is not an import. Obivously, MPI made a deal witn Netflix to release it in US.

There is also a listing for a separate Blu-ray edition:

MPI released a capelight 4K in US before, namely "The Lover" (1992). They seem to have a co-operation.

And let's not forget Mank!

It's entirely possible that its producers had a separate deal for U.S. physical media before Netflix bought the streaming rights. That's how CODA got a BD & 4K release in Italy; Eagle Pictures (which co-financed it) got the Italian physical media rights before Apple TV+ got the streaming rights. (Same for Japan on BD only.)

Hmmmmm cool if true

If this is real, then I’m in!

MPI has been releasing Capelight releases stateside (e.g. The Lover, Concubine, The Roundup) so it's real. I don't really know how they get around it rights-wise since German rights don't really carry over to the US.

[StLouisRibs]

Also Netflix co-financed the project, it wasn't an acquisition. While it's supposable to imagine the production company can carve out they retain video rights (like Wes Anderson's deals for all his films), it seems extremely strange to me that this would be the first Netflix title to come out this way and that other films and filmmakers like, as I said, Glass Onion wouldn't have contractually asked for the same if it's an option.

Ultimately it's a good thing as I do think Netflix will have to come around to monetizing its library eventually but just think this seems like a strange situation.

Very confused by this statement.

[DukeTogo84]

Excellent news. Day 1 for me. I do hope more Netflix films are coming, but this is one of their best films.

re. my well deserved Capelight shop rant: Ordered it for less money at buecher.de now...

That's a lot of dubs to include alongside a somewhat lengthy movie. Capelight have been pretty consistent with their encodes lately but I'm still a bit worried.
