Great cover that's very tempting.

Best artwork for the movie imo. Hope they can get some of the Criterion extras, at least the two commentaries.

The listing doesn't mention any special features beyond the Mediabook. Hopefully they're still TBA and this isn't just barebones.

Capelight usually announce extras with the title when pre-orders launch. The Mediabook has an interview with Sean Baker in the booklet but otherwise it seems like it’s indeed a barebones release.

Bloody hell, I'm still holding out hope for a Special Features announcement, cause I feel like even if they couldn't get the Criterion stuff they'd at least include some trailers and fluff interviews. But if this is indeed all that's included, which is nothing, then Criterion is the way to go.

They could've at the very least gone with HDR10+, which is what iTunes has. As for audio, I'm not sure how "legit" that 7.1 mix is.

How come? Is Capelight known to have weirdness with audio or is it because it's different compared to Criterion's release?

Pretty much. I said this in the other thread already but the Criterion edition is approved by Sean Baker, so if the movie actually had a 7.1 mix it makes no sense for them to go with the 5.1 for the disc release.

That would be a better cover than the Criterion if not for all the busy logos smacked on top of it. Are these typically removable?

Yes, outside of the Palme d'Or one all are either part of the J-card or a sticker on the shrink wrap.

Tempted to double dip for the artwork + mediabook alone, though I am curious: how do Criterion and Capelight encoding usually compare? I know they're both hit or miss.

Also, does the Capelight straight up lack subtitles?

Edit: Emailed Capelight and subtitles will be included, just not posted on the site yet.

I think my big concern is that though the soundtrack is 'English' it will be the original which is actually a mix of English/Russian/Armenian (as stated)... however, this being a German release it'll probably have no English 'burn in subs' for the Russian and Armenian sections.

I emailed Capelight directly and they confirmed this will have English subtitles. In addition to that, they also confirmed it again in an Instagram reply.

And knowing Capelight (and Universal), I'd assume it's for all the English dialogue (or HOH) and not merely the non-English bits.

[MovieBuff647]

English subtitles officially confirmed!

New release date is May 22.

I wonder if that's more specials than the US release will have, hmm.

[BluBonnet]

Unlikely, but would be nice if that was the case

Most of the extras on the Criterion edition will likely be exclusive to their release. I'm sure Capelight can put together a solid selection of interviews and featurettes, but they won't be able to top the on-set making of documentary, commentaries, deleted scenes and audition footage.

I'd assume the Capelight extras were licensed from Criterion, no?

We don’t yet know what extras they’ll come up with but them getting exclusive stuff from Criterion doesn’t seem likely. They don’t usually license their extras even years after the release of their edition. As Hedrox said, a couple of EPKs is more realistic and maybe if they’re lucky a new Sean Baker interview to round it up.
