Von Trier's MANDERLAY coming in December
According to Electric Parc's website, a 2-disc special edition of Lars von Trier's MANDERLAY is due out in Denmark in December. The DVD will be in 16:9, and contain a 5.1 DD soundtrack. Disc 1 will contain trailers as well as a commentary track by von Trier. Danish subtitles will be included for the main feature. Disc 2 will include the "making of" documentary "The Road to Manderlay." Also included will be a Cannes featurette, interviews, poster artwork, production design featurette, and a visual effects featurette. The running time for the bonus disc is 3 hours 20 minutes. English subtitles will be included for the Danish language bonus features.

I'll definitely be getting it. Lars von Trier never ceases to amaze me. Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark, and Dogville rank among my all time favorite films. This is definitely one of my most anticipated releases of the year.

Same here. I just picked up the Electric Parc "Hypnotic Edition" of the Europa trilogy, and it's fantastic. Likewise the Danish edition of "Dogville" (not sure if it's Electric Parc). In fact, all my von Trier discs except "Dancer in the Dark" are Danish (the Europa Trilogy, Riget I-II, Dogville, Breaking the Waves).
Has there ever been an acceptable version of "The Idiots"? You know, in the correct 1.33:1 aspect ratio and without big censorious blocks or huge sections cut right out of it? I recall reading here about a "Dogme 95 boxset" coming out, and while I like Vinterberg's flick very much, I'm really mostly interested in "The Idiots".

Electric Parc's website doesn't state if the Dogme films will be available individually or only as part of the box set. However, if their previous releases are any indication, I can only assume that the upcoming release will be the definitive version of The Idiots.
By the way, Electric Parc did produce the Danish 2-disc releases of Dogville and Breaking the Waves.

The Dogme set is something that I will own. Manderlay however as I stated above...not quite so sure. I thought that Dogville was excellent but will be honest with you-I certainly think that there is only so much that he could push the envelope with, so to speak. I am curious to see how much more he can strip traditional cinema from...without being uttely egocentric (I believe that he is one of the most original directors working nowadays, but he is walking the fine line that Godard did with his films back in the late 80s early 90s...as a result even his hardcore fans are having a hard time assessing some of his latest films). With Trier, I think there will be much more to be seen in the future esp. given the fact that he is so outspoken in terms of politics, social relationships, etc. As I said...owning the film will be decided after I see it....

i'd like to see it for myself
Maybe I'm being stupid, but I can't seem to find the information on the electricparc.com website. Would someone post a direct link, or describe how to get to it?
Any word yet on about how much this is going to cost (Kroners, Dollars, whatever)? I checked around on some .dk e-tailer sites and I couldn't find anything but a picture of the poster.
I know it is probably too soon to know anything, but this, like Dogville, is obviously going to be available on DVD well before a midwestern US theatrical release.
thanks.

At electricparc.com, click "DVD" on the side menu. Then click "In Production" at the bottom menu that appears. Manderlay is listed among all of the DVD's that are currently in production. Click on "Manderlay" and all of the specs will appear.

I hope it's better than the unwatchable Dogville!
A shout out though to the absolutely fantastic European boxset featuring Europa. I know the film is a masterpiece but I saw new depth with this flawless transfer.
Magnificent.

quick FYI. This doesn't seem to work on all DVD players (the workaround). I was able to make it work on mine, however my friends dvd player seemed to have an issue removing the sub's with English Audio playing. I have no idea why, but I thought I'd let people know before they get upset. I also tried it on a third player, and the sub removale also worked. It now seems removing the sub's is hit or miss. I appologize for any confusion. I should have tested it across multiple machines, not just my own.

Hit enter again to get back to the main menu and go into the chapter menu, which is second from the left. Pick chapter one (lol...obvious?) and the movie won't have subs. If you use the first option (leftmost) on the main menu at all, it will force the sub's. I played the entire intro part again where they're showing the movement on the map etc... and the subs were gone. I let it play for 2 minutes or so and it seemed fine. I skipped a chapter, same deal. I'm going to try to watch this film on the weekend now.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be interested to see what Washington looks like, I was just a little disappointed in this.
And having said all that, I'd probably still by this when it comes out, depending on bonus material.
