Matte Finish
Metallic shine finish on Restaurant sign and puddles

Hard to take photos of the metallic finish to show the shine effect
It's not a spot gloss finish on Restaurant sign and puddles it's a metallic finish that shines when held at different angle

Shame it's a matte finish, but still looks great. Inside art should have been switched so the disc hub didn't block out her face.

hockeyshark91 · 05-23-2016, 07:44 PM

It's a very nice steel, indeed. If I hadn't come across a kimchi, I would most definitely have gotten this one.

jimmyv · 05-23-2016, 08:03 PM

Nice artwork but one gripe is that they really should have adjusted the inside image underneath the disc. Her face is totally covered by the disc holder. Shifting it downward would have been better or just using a different image entirely.

Front cover is the best part about this steelbook. Really attractive color palette and tone of the image.

Still though, I'll keep my glossy KimchiDVD steelbook with Lenticular magnet.

Can anyone confirm if this is region B locked?

It's a Zavvi steelbook of a catalogue title so you can guarantee that it will be the same disc as the existing amaray release, which is B-locked.

I'm SO up for Crouching Tiger... 15th anniversary this year so fingers crossed for a (better) steelbook!

Meanwhile I'm surprised Amélie hasn't sold out at Zavvi yet...brilliant film, gorgeous steelbook!

TheLivingEnd · 06-04-2016, 06:20 AM

I received my copy a couple of days ago and I couldn't be more pleased. It's an absolutely gorgeous steel, probably one of my favorites that I have, and I'm surprised this hasn't sold out yet. Man I'm glad I was able to pick this bad boy up.
