Re: The Official Masters of Cinema Blu-ray Thread
Awesome lineup, but I really wish MoC would go the Criterion route and announce the titles all together with extras on a specified date every so often. Tired of just getting hints little by little and then wondering about disc specs and extras. Good news is good news though.

Coeur Fidele has a very sparse piano score, so a small audio track is fine, it sounds wonderful. The image quality is absolutely astounding, too. You won't believe it unless you see it.
