should really post this in International

Thanks Lemdog! Stalker for £9 is a steal! The Laurel and Hardy boxed set is also priced well at £93. (Down from £200.)

This is a fantastic set... I've spent hours with it and have barely scratched the surface of content. Highly recommended.

There is a note on DVDCompare about a lip synch problem with this edition. Can someone who has the DVD comment on it?

The Beaver doesn't say anything about it.

I did a search to come up with the remaining Artificial Eye DVDs that are on sale... all of these are 50% off (or more) at Amazon UK:

L'Appartement
The Piano Teacher
Regeneration
L'Ennui
Russian Ark
Barbarian Invasions

I got this when amazon.uk had it for 50 pounds... Great bargain!

And to those buying outside the UK don't forget that the vat tax
is removed, pretty much making up for the shipping.

Wow! I thought I had done well when I got L&H for 63 pounds. 50 is an amazing deal. Great set, and worth every penny.

Picked up the Apu Trilogy and Stalker. Great deal.

Thanks for the heads-up. I had a window open with the £9.97 price and was able to check out with that price just now. Also bought:

Spooks: Season 2 [2002]
Werckmeister Harmonies / Damnation [2003]
City Of Men

So is this DVD version of The Apu Trilogy good? I know the R1 supposedly has an awful transfer and no extras.

According to DVDCompare, Harmonies is non-anamorphic and Damnation is full-screen. Can someone who has these DVDs confirm or refute this?

Not Artifical Eye titles but also on sale are the two films by Julio Medem: Lovers Of The Arctic Circle and Red Squirrel .

...both with terrible transfers!!

Ciao,
Pro-B

Good, yes. Great, no. Better than the R1, Hell yea.

I thought I had read somewhere that the R1 editions of the Apu Trilogy films are now out of print.

Just another second-hand report here, but DVDTimes gives the release a 9/10 for video and states that Harmonies is presented in 1.75:1 anamorphic. FYI, 1.33:1 is the OAR for Damnation.

It appears there were errors in the first Artificial Eye release of Werckmeister Harmonies so they re-issued it. Read about it on DVDBeaver here.

That's too bad. I was going to order it since I like The Simpsons.
