Crap, right when I just got the DVDs!

Will they have English subtitles?

I'll be surprised if they don't considering the DVDs do but I haven't had it confirmed.

I've now had it confirmed by the Karel Zeman Museum

Hey, thanks for the links! Would you recommend this website?
Otherwise, has anyone already ordered from them?
Shipping costs are expensive (about 28$ for two Blu-Ray discs).
Are there any better options when it comes to shipping costs out there?

[Admira]

If the shipping is fixed, then you may order all Zeman films: http://www.bontonland.cz/karel-zeman/

Ask the MKZ as well:

Thanks, Admira!

On bontonland.cz, shipping is around $24 for the first item and then about $5 for each extra item.

It looks like there is a heavy use of DNR and digitization

See for example:

I tried to order the Karel Zeman collection from this site. For some reason, it kept doubling to Quantity 2 in the checkout even though I corrected it twice. Anyone else have this problem?

My wife has a Czech colleague currently at home for the festive season. I'm going to try and persiade her to call him on his mobile to physically get it from there!

That's great news, the screen captures show more details and less digital manipulation than expected.
Thanks for sharing!!

This was on sale on e-bay brand new 3 weeks ago. I made my wife buy it for me. Has arrived and what a collector's item!

[DukeOfPrunes]

Just received today my Karel Zeman Collection & Kuky se vraci!
Will review them on this website when I get a chance

Am I right in thinking that Protektor isn't on Blu-ray? I saw it recently on Netflix and wanted to pick it up alas, I can't find it

Are there any suggestions for Czech modern war films?

What films are worth buying for? Top 5? I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of seeing a Czech film before.

I like Vlacil's work, with Marketa Lazarova being at the top of the list. There is a Criterion edition packed with extras. I have the Czech release which looks fantastic. I am sure the Criterion uses the same restoration. The film is absolutely a must-see.
