For many years i used to order UK discs from Amazon UK until they started charging a ton of money for shipping and now i shop at other websites like Ebay, Zavvi, Diabolik and other sites. Currently if i were to order this at Amazon UK it will be a total of $79.13.
On July 15th StudioCanal will release in the UK The Conversation 50th Anniversary Limited Collector's Edition. One of the best films from the 1970's and one of my favorites from the director.
BRAND NEW 4K RESTORATION OF THE FILM
DOLBY VISION/HDR PRESENTATION OF THE FILM
Q&A with Walter Murch...
Have the 4K box set and it looks very nice with the posters and the artcards. Did a a/b comparison to the Kino release and a big improvement with better grayscale and detail. Blacks are good too without the darker areas looking crushed. Very happy with the purchase and worth the extra money...
He made many great characters on SCTV like Guy Cabellero, Count Floyd, Floyd Robertson, Sammy Maudlin and in classic The Grapes of Mud as Henry Fonda. And i liked his performances in 1941 and Stripes. Rest in Peace.
I remember years ago a tv station was showing West Side Story and when it came to the scene where you saw the movie’s title it was “Vest Side Story” because the image was zoomed in? I thought that was very funny.
Great review and a excellent film and already have the Kino disc and it’s a nice improvement over the Imprint release with brighter colors and better detail.
I liked Mad Wednesday and did enjoy Harold Lloyd’s funny performance and hope Kino might get the rights to release it on disc. My only copy of the film I have is a disc recording from a TCM broadcast and the print shown was in bad condition.
Le Samourai is one of my favorites from Jean-Pierre Melville and wished he made more films but died at an early age of 55 in 1973. Will watch the TCM broadcast this weekend.
Have the Blu-ray and did an a/b comparison to the Imprint release and this new Kino disc has brighter colors and more picture info on the sides and a sharper image. Great film and will keep both of them on my shelf.
Even though the information is out of date I still enjoy watching Our Mr. Sun and it brings back memories of me watching it when I was a kid in grade school where they would show it many times.
I usually don't disparage other movie review web sites but the recent Blu-ray.com review of the film giving it two stars and calling it a "borderline surreal disaster" and a "cinematic catastrophes" is in my option completely wrong and do not agree. It's not a perfect film but have seen it many...
I started to watch the Oscars back in the late 1970’s and watched them every year until about five years ago when I stopped. Just don’t care for most of the films that come out.
Great film and one of the reasons I went into laserdiscs years ago was to buy the Criterion release which I still have. Bought the dvd and will get this new release soon.
