Decal Releasing (NEON / Bleeker Street) Discussion Thread

[StLouisRibs]

Just had a look - the video file for the film itself on Mass is 19.9 GB and Flee is 17.7 GB.

[StLouisRibs]

Little addendum for Mass which I skipped through because I was curious how it looked. I would actually say the film looks quite good, and based on my player's reading a fairly stable between 20-25mbps for the film's first half. However, when the aesthetic changes-

[Show spoiler]when the aspect ratio switches to 2.6:1 from 2:1, which is the entire last third of the film or so

-it is pretty much stuck between 10 and 15mbps (not necessarily surprising as there's a lot less information in the frame obviously) and looks a lot more flat. So I'd say it's a mixed bag but not a botch job and this was definitely not a title that was a sure thing for a Blu release altogether unlike say Pig or Titane so I'm not really wont to complain about it.

I would say Flee looks great, though. It also doesn't really rise much above 20mbps but considering the style of animation I'd say it's a extremely solid presentation and there wouldn't really be all that much to gain from having given it a dual layer disc with more room to spare (helps the movie is short, as well, I guess!).

Flee is getting a UK Blu from Curzon so that could be dual layer. Unfortunately UK rights for Mass are with Sky Cinema and though under Universal they haven’t done any BDs for about half a year - and the master on Sky/NOW has PAL speedup. I don’t know if it’s sold to other territories, but hopefully another country releases a Blu.

Crimes of the Future BD scheduled for August 9th. Still nothing for Celine Sciamma's Petite Maman. Perhaps it's too early to tell, but that could possibly signal a release coming from Criterion instead, like Portrait of a Lady on Fire. I thoroughly enjoyed Petite Maman by the way. If it's playing near you, I recommend checking it out.

[CelestialAgent]

At least Petite Maman has a UK Blu-ray for anyone who is Region B capable, though I do think it is worth the cinema experience.

I’m hoping Crimes of the Future gets a French Blu if no UK distributor acquires it soon after Cannes. Lionsgate and eOne handled Cronenberg’s last films, but film distribution has changed since then, so maybe Signature who handled Possessor?

Anyone else able to comment on the quality/encoding/file sizes of some of their other blu-rays unreviewed here? The Last Son, Together, I'm Your Man, Sundown, Kicking Blood?
Any comments, beyond the available review, on if The Cursed is a solid disc? Anything on Mass, beyond what's been mentioned? Any of these better than the discs of Pig and Spencer, and worth getting. Or would it be better to seek out an overseas disc?

Breaking (aka 892) getting a Blu-ray release from Decal (Bleeker Street) on October 25th. The movie releases in theaters on August 26th, and has been getting a positive reception. Comparisons have been made to films like Dog Day Afternoon, and John Q. This is also Michael K. Williams' final film.

Synopsis: When Marine Veteran Brian Brown-Easley is denied support from Veterans Affairs, financially desperate and running out of options, he takes a bank and several of its employees hostage, setting the stage for a tense confrontation with the police. Based on the true story.

It looks like Decal - NEON will be releasing Crimes of the Future on 4K on January 31st. Barring any releases bewtween now and then, this will be Decal's first 4K release.

i'm sure you know this by now, but Metropolitan not only gave Crimes of the Future a blu-ray in France, but also a 4K Ultra HD steelbook through FNAC.

I’m curious if the German Blu-ray will have any meaningful extras.

Maybe they could offer a NC-17 and R version on the same disc this time.

This is presumably going to be the Unrated/NC-17 version, correct?

Mafia Mamma dated for June 6th



Also, I noticed at MovieZyng that there were DVD listings for Enys Men and The Quiet Girl. I haven't seen Enys, but The Quiet Girl is a really excellent film, and I was hoping for a BD release. Perhaps Criterion could pick it up.

Odd that BOTH Mark Jenkin films are DVD ONLY considering BOTH are already on BD (Enys Men is out on BD, in the UK, a month tomorrow) in the UK from BFI. The Quiet Girl has also had a BD release in the UK.

I would have bought a blu ray for MONTANA STORY, but it was also dvd only.
