This is a gorgeous film. I have the French release, and it just leaps off the screen. This is tremendous news, a no-brainer day1 purchase for me.

Fantastic! I'm in for this one, as long as the "new Universal" is behind it...

Jakdonark · 06-17-2015, 03:37 AM

This is my favorite Coens hands down. I always loved Fargo, but from the first time I saw it Fargo dropped to number two. William Robert Thorton is at his best, nary a smile to be seen. And after listening to the commentary I can't watch the first piano scene without losing it from laughing.

Fargo really is a masterpiece, but there is just something about this film that pierces me and gets right to my core.

I sometimes wonder if the Coens travelled back in time to the 50s, made this film then, and brought it back with them.

I'm with ya on both accounts!

Finally! Incredibly beautiful, underrated film that like most Coen brothers films, gets better with each viewing.

Freeza · 06-17-2015, 06:16 PM

Not that I expected it, but I was hoping the color version of the film would be included. It was a nice addition to an older foreign release DVD and I would have liked to have it in HD.

I always wanted to see the color version myself. I imagine it to look a little like Oh Brother Where art Thou? Very muted tones. It would be great to have both.

Honestly, I doubt the "new Universal" needs to be behind this for it to turn out well. It's not much older than Intolerable Cruelty, and that one looked great to me.

BuckNaked2k · 06-18-2015, 02:22 AM

Fantastic. It was starting to look like Twilight Time was going to get every niche title on my wish list.

Back cover already posted on the previous page and it says "English SDH."

Now let's hope for a stateside release of Barton Fink. I have been waiting over five years for it to be released.

Definitely will be picking up this film as well.

Gentle Star · 09-03-2015, 08:36 AM

Beautiful noir masterpiece from the Coens.
Re. the colour version, Roger Deakins stated that it was made because of contractual obligations for the foreign DVD market, as someone in charge did not think a B/W version would sell well there. According to Deakins he muted the colours as much as he possibly could. The dvd was available in France for a while, still he and the Coens prefer it not be shown.

Nice Guy Eddie · 09-04-2015, 07:50 PM

Really looking forward to this release, I just hope it will actually be in stores.

morg999 · 09-06-2015, 05:29 AM

Looking forward to this..! Where's the review..? I'm surprised we haven't seen one with it being a Coen Bros release. If the B/W PQ is on par with Tetro that would be great..

Universal doesn't send screeners of catalog titles. Even for the Coens.
