La Dolce Vita

Stop me if you heard this before, but is there any word about when La Dolce Vita will come out on DVD?

Officially stopping you.

There's a R2 release you can get at Benson World. The transfer, however, is awful.

It's the only one available though, so... how much do you like the film?

A lot. I'm willing to settle for less at this time.

AFAIK no, there is even a R2 french edition. A very good edition, but with french subtitles only.


Fede

The Italian release from Medusa is the best available.

I've got this and it is indeed a great dvd...

As for the R1, if you recall the new spinoff company of Fox Lorber, Koch Lorber, was going to release a dvd of La Dolce Vita last month, but apparently Paramount said they have the rights to the film and they're preparing their own DVD release. So in the meantime the titles is stuck in legal limbo here in the States...

The Korean release looks to be an NTSC port of the Medusa edition. I should have it later this week and will compare the two.

I have the Korean version and it isn't anamorphic. Quite strange when it could've easily been it. The movie's also only 167 minutes long for some reason (or so my DVD player says). Don't know why it's that long, so asking me is useless. The DVD company, AltoDVD is usually good to their movies... Anyway, I've never seen the movie before so I can't compare it with anything. I'm looking in Truffaut Fan's direction for the explanation. The 2-disk set does have 2 cushy docs, though. Roughly 2 1/2 hours for both, plus a few other tiny things. The packaging is also fun but it's hard to get the DVD in or out of the plastic bag.

It must be a PAL-NTSC conversion. 174 minutes - 4% speedup= 167 minutes. Sounds like the took the Italian set and ported it, but they didn't. So I guess the Italian release is still king.
