Facet Studio Sale at DDD (Upto 52% off) Expires 05/01/07
|
$38 for the Decalogue set. Nice! Any idea if DVDPlanet will be matching the sale?
|
Some really great stuff in there.
Does anyone know how the transfers for these facets releases of Kozintsev's Hamlet and King Lear compare to the Ruscico versions? If you haven't seen anything by Grigori Kozintsev, I encourage you to give either of these films a spin. I consider his Hamlet to be, perhaps, the best cinematic adaptation of the play. He does things with light and shadow that leave you in awe. Awe, I say! ...anyway, looks like I'll be getting: The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob and Skeleton of Mrs. Morales. |
How is Experiments in Terror and 4 Films by Otar Iosseliani?
|
Wow, what a fantastic catalogue Facets has. There are so many films I would love to own...but unfortunately most of their transfers are of poor quality, so even at 52% off, it's not worth it. Read the reviews.

Great price on The Decalogue... I paid twice that for my copy a few years ago. Should be a mandatory purchase for all fans of cinema at that price point IMHO...

As far as "Satantango" ..... can't imagine not seeing it in a movie theater, but I'll probably pick up the R2 version. |
These sales are killing me lately. I told myself yesterday I would stop and now there's a Facets sale. Unfair.
EDIT: Yeah, nevermind. The Decalogue image quality is poor and most of the rest aren't all that great of a bargain. |
I'm staying away, but Sins of the Fleshapoids is essential, great disc too, with commentaries and two more (short) films by Mike Kuchar.
|
For any fans of sci-fi (especially obscure, post-apocalyptic sci-fi), End of August at the Hotel Ozone is worth checking out.

The quality is better than "poor" but it is not "excellent". IIRC, been awhile since I watched it, the burned in English subs bothered more than the quality of the presentation. I would rate it as "good" and take into consideration that it's a 20 year old Polish television show we're talking about here. I'm not sure that Facets had the revenue at the time to pay for a complete digital restortation. Or maybe they did. Dunno. I'm just glad to have a copy. |
