Anyone know whether 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' comes in the plastic case from Amazon?

The copy Amazon shipped me 6/13 arrived in the classic-style cardboard case.

Mine did not come in a plastic case. Ordered 6/11.

However, Criterion is still shipping the replacement case for $5, if you are interested.

I hope they don't use that cover. It doesn't capture the reflective, naturalistic poetry of the film, and that's a terrible font.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of it either. I was expecting a beautiful moody shot from a distance... not a close up of someone's face. And I agree about the font. I hope they make changes - not that it would stop me from purchasing it.

I was actually hoping for the original poster art.

I wasn't expecting the original poster artwork - since this is Criterion. Have they used the original poster as their artwork often?

So I placed an order for Man Who Fell To Earth with DDD a few weeks back and it sat in Backorder since then. I started getting worried so I placed a second order with Amazon thinking I'd cancel one after the other shipped.

They both shipped today. An hour apart from each other.

Sigh.

Now I wait and see which version of the case I get. Hoping at least one of them is plastic.

If you get both and dont want one I would gladly buy 1 from you and pay you an extra $5 for priority shipping

Man Who Fell To Earth came today, via amazon, w/ the digipack cardboard. Did CC never just put them in cases themselves?

Where on their site do I find that?

Thanks.

*EDIT: I did some searching through the rest of this thread and got the info. Never mind and thanks!*

Long rumored, nice to see it confirmed. I never got the RHV edition, as it had no English subs. Too bad about Peter Brunette, he knew Italian cinema inside and out.

edit: looks like the cases come from Scanavo (model number CBR 101), but they're not listed on the Scanavo.com website, which makes me assume that they are custom made solely for Criterion. I'm tempted to contact Scanavo and see if they'd produce a "normal thickness" version... but I wouldn't be able to afford a large enough order to make it cost-effective. I can dream, though...

So... I contacted Scanavo. They have an office in my home town. They're giving me 50 of the clear criterion cases free of charge. :banana:

They also said, if I want more, I can order them for $0.48/each.

Anyone interested in a bulk purchase with me? I'm betting that, if I order enough, they'll ship them in batches wherever I want, since they have a warehouse in the US.

Awesome! I'd be in for 20.
