DVD REVIEW: "Time Out" with screen captures
Releasing by Seville Pictures next Tuesday the 24th, 2002:

Comments:
Seville Pictures are quickly making a name for themselves for not only the quality of their DVD production, but their choice of film to distribute. This is a magnificent offering from Laurent Cantet, one worthy of the fine DVD that Seville have produced.
Pros: The image quality is sharp and tight without excessive contrast or brightness. It is in an original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, anamorphic widescreen. Negligible Edge Enhancement exists, but you could only see it in detail with a magnifying glass against your television tube. The white subtitles are over two lines using the bottom border as the bridge. They are visible but small enough to remain discreet and not detract from the onscreen activities. There are 20 Chapters stops, audio options of French 5.1 Dolby Surround and French 2.0 Stereo. Being in bi-lingual Canada (Seville) the first DVD Menu option is a choice of French or English for your subsequent menu screens.
Cons: A commentary or short documentary would have been a benefit, but it is unknown that one exists or the principles were available for a commentary. I couldn't find the advertised 'theatrical trailer', but I have been know to miss things before. I gave it 4.5/5.
Cheers,

I don't quite understand the raves this film has received as I wasn't a big fan of it when I saw it theatrically. (It has an unbelievable metacritic rating).
That being said, I'm glad to hear of Seville's quality DVD. They are releasing "Late Marriage" next month, which was a wonderful film I'd love to own, and "Happy Accidents" which I'd like to see.

Phyre,
I want to watch it again. But I don't know if I'm even remotely typical.
Seville is putting out LATE MARRIAGE? Holy *****! Best movie of 2002. Is there some place you can see everything that Seville is putting out?

Here's where I saw the info on "Late Marriage":
http://www.digitallyobsessed.com/sho...e.php3?ID=3306
Seville's website is very uninformative and I couldn't find anything relating to DVD releases, but "digitally obsessed" has been putting out some info on upcoming Seville releases like "Jan Dara", "Luminous Motion" and "A Good Baby". You can look through the listing under "Press Releases".

Has anyone received this yet? I have not seen it but was thinking of picking it up. I like the premise of the movie, but it sounds like there are mixed opinions. I will probably do a blind purchase anyway.
