Really good price. I bought the set at the current price without a 20% off sale because I thought they would sell out like the Buffy and Planet of the Apes set.
Save the Green Planet is another great deal after 20% off.

GODDAMIT!!! I don't have the money, but I ordered the La Dolce Vita CE and Teorema anyway. Time to tighten the belt...
Just kidding, I work in retail so with commissions, this time of year is the only time I really get to splurge. This is my really honest to goodness last order though...

301/302 (poor PAL port)
Cafe Au Lait (PAL port)
Dady Nostalgia (Pal port)
Divine Intervention(Pal port)
Do you remember Dolly Bell (analog sourcing)
Don Juan (plain terrible)

God is Great I am not (poor Tautou film)
In July (excellent film from Head-On's Fatih Akin, PAL-sourced)

Intimacy (great Chereau, average transfer)
Jesus of Montreal (improper framing)
Moloch (PAL affair)
On Guard (PAL affair)
The official story (great film, lackluster treatment, PAL sourced)
The Pornographer (cut, opt for the R2)
Safe Conduct (PAL affair, opt for the AE disc)
Save the Green Planet (overseas versions better R2/R3)
Slightly Pregnant Man (a Mastroianni duff)
Soundless (incorrect framing)
The Story of Marie and Julien (I would CERTAINLY opt for the AE)
Tenth Distric Court (screened during Cannes, loved it, but I dont think it is everyone's cup of tea)
Teorema (poor transfer)
The Tree of Wooden Clogs (opt of the Italian DVD)
Tous Le Matins du Monde (I dont like the transfer, "combing")
Recommended
Children of the Century (average transfer, the only English friendly version)
Count of Monte Cristo (very good treatment)
Changing Times
Giles Wife (phenomenal film, very mild "combing")
The Kingdom (I would still recommend the R2 collection)
Nathalie (worth picking up if you are not region-free, otherwise pick the French-english friendly disc with proper font subs)
The Lina Wertmuller collection (slightly above average but the films are great, not PAL ports)
Syrian Bride (outstanding film, a few minor issues with the DVD, recommended)
Umbrellas of Cherbourg (unlike what other review sites claim...I like the transfer)
Tiresia (cruel and beautiful, top notch)
Triple Agent (top-notch Rohmer, decent transfer)
Un Coeur En Hiver (The Koch DISC OF THE YEAR, splendid presentation)
La Dolce Vita ("banding" still present, package splendid, collector's set well worth the reduced price).
Ok, Ciao,

Is there a English friendly PAL release of Akin's 'In July'? I wasn't aware of one well over a year ago and ended up opting for the R1.

Where as the Region 1 (for once) has good picture AND a decent amout of translated supplemental material. If you enjoy the film, would recommmend this version without the hassle of importing.

To answer the Teorema question...I would wait a bit as there is a slight possibility that the recently announced 3DVD set of Pasolini films in England might have a surprise or two.
