Misschien een stomme vraag. Zijn er ook criterions die regiovrij zijn ?
Geen stomme vraag, en ja. Als je op criteriondvd.com kijkt, kan je per titel zien welke regio die heeft.
Oke Wiljan many thanks.
Damn, wat een verschil bij Antonio Gaudi! Ik hoop dat ze 'm snel versturen!
The Battle of Algiers is deze regio 0 ?

Before the Rain
The first film made in the newly independent Republic of Macedonia, Milcho Manchevski's Before the Rain crosscuts the stories of an orthodox Christian monk (Grégoire Colin), a British photo agent (Katrin Cartlidge), and a native Macedonian war photographer (Rade Šerbedžija) to paint a portrait of simmering, entrenched ethnic and religious hatred about to reach its boiling point. Made during the strife of the war-torn Balkan states in the nineties, this gripping triptych of love and violence is also a timeless evocation of the loss of pastoral innocence, and remains one of recent cinema's most poetic evocations of the futility of war.

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters
Paul Schrader's visually stunning, structurally audacious collagelike portrait of acclaimed Japanese author and playwright Yuko Mishima (played by Ken Ogata) investigates the inner turmoil and contradictions of a man who attempted an impossible harmony between self, art, and society. Taking place on Mishima's last day, when he famously committed public seppuku (ritual suicide), the film is punctuated by extended flashbacks to the writer's life as well as gloriously stylized evocations of his fictional works. With its rich cinematography by John Bailey, exquisite sets and costumes by Eiko Ishioka, and unforgettable, highly influential score by Philip Glass, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters is a sincere tribute to its subject, and a bold, investigative work of art in its own right.

Patriotism
Playwright and novelist Yukio Mishima predicted his own suicide with this ravishing short feature, his only foray into filmmaking (codirected with Domoto Masaki), yet made with the expressiveness and confidence of a true cinema artist. All prints of Patriotism (Yukoku), which depicts the seppuku (ritual suicide) of a naval officer, were destroyed after Mishima's death in 1970, though the negative was saved, and the film resurfaced thirty-five years later. New viewers will be stunned at the depth and clarity of Mishima's vision, as well as his graphic depictions of sex and death. The film is presented here with a choice of Japanese or English intertitles.

Classe tous risques
Though sentenced to death, in absentia, in France, former gangland chief Abel Davos (Lino Ventura) sneaks back to Paris with his children after hiding out in Milan for nearly a decade. Accompanied by appointed guardian Eric Stark (Jean-Paul Belmondo, in his first release after Breathless) and beset by backstabbing former friends, Abel begins a journey through the postwar Parisian underworld that's both throat grabbing and soul searching. A character study of a career criminal at the end of his rope, this rugged noir from Claude Sautet (Un coeur en hiver) is a thrilling highlight of sixties French cinema.

The Furies
Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston are at their fierce finest in master Hollywood craftsman Anthony Mann’s crackling western melodrama The Furies. In 1870s New Mexico Territory, megalomaniacal widowed ranch owner T. C. Jeffords (Huston, in his final role) butts heads with his daughter, Vance (Stanwyck), a firebrand with serious daddy issues, over her dowry, choice of husband, and, finally, ownership of the land itself. Both sophisticated in its view of frontier settlement and ablaze with searing domestic drama, The Furies is a hidden treasure of American filmmaking, boasting Oscar–nominated cinematography and vivid supporting turns from Judith Anderson, Wendell Corey, and Gilbert Roland.

Eindelijk weer eens mooie covers.
The Furies zou je al bijna kopen voor de cover alleen :D
Mishima komt er sowieso in, de andere weet ik nog niet zeker
Hadden ze 'Patriotism' niet beter als extra bij Mishima: Life in four Chapters kunnen doen? :?
Trouwens ook vreemd dat die film een SRP van $29,95 heeft, terwijl hij maar 30 min. duurt.
The Furies, Mishima en Classe tous risques komen er sowieso in! Dat gaat weer een mooie maand worden. :)
Uit de dvdbeaver newsbrief:
Citaat:
On Criterion’s unofficial slate are the quintessential Noir Cry Of The City (1948 ), Wes Anderson’s first effort, Bottle Rocket, Dillinger Is Dead (Marco Ferreri), Stephen Frears’ The Hit, Nicolas Roeg’s fun Insignificance, David Bowie in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, Louis Malle’s My Dinner With Andre, Antonioni’s La Notte, John Huston’s Wise Blood, Lars Von Trier’s Zentropa, and Sam Fuller’s much anticipated White Dog.
White Dog (y)
Wise Blood had ik vorig jaar nog gezien - vond het één van Hustons mindere films.
Ik kijk vooral uit naar la Notte en White Dog, maar aan de andere kant zijn er ook nog zoveel oudere releases die hoog op de verlanglijst staan. Natuurlijk is het wel erg mooi om straks de Antonioni-trilogie compleet op Criterion te hebben. Hopelijk maken ze er weer net zo'n fraaie release van als L'Avventura en L'Eclisse.
Mooie cover voor Mishima (y)
http://www.criterion.com/08news/308/...nimal_3-08.jpg
Kijk ook erg uit naar La Notte. even afwachten wat Criterion doet alvorens ik de MoC ga aanschaffen.
Even een beetje offtopic. Antonioni op Criterion en MoC vind gretig aftrek....terwijl zn debuutfilm een geweldige release heeft gekregen van NoShame. Dit bedrijf is failliet dus mocht er interresse voor zijn, zou ik niet te lang wachten. Vrij goedkoop bij Pacific voor een dubbeldisk. :bier:

zijn deze allemaal regio 0. Heb namelijk op de site van Criterion gekeken en zag dat deze allemaal regio 0 zijn, maar als ik op ebay en dergelijke ga kijken staat bij sommige regio 1. Wie kan mij uitsluitsel geven ? Alvast bedankt.
Wages of Fear (de re-release) is 100% zeker Regio 1. Om het zeker te weten zou ik als ik jou was gewoon op www.dvdbeaver.com kijken.
Criteriondvd.com geeft die ook aan als R1, volgens mij is die site altijd wel te vertrouwen, en anders inderdaad bij de beaver.
Let er idd even op dat er van sommige films re-releases zijn(zoals Amacord en Wages of Fear), dat je niet die oude versies krijgt. Of juist wel natuurlijk, maar dan voor een lager prijsje. Op criteriondvd.com kun je ook nog de oude versies zien staan.
