Get Shorty

all of the above are the super deluxe etc, just re-releases basically, but never had any of them before, so these will do.

Some new releases from New Yorker

Mandabi
Xala
L'Argent

all of which are extremely high moments for my collection. Damn glad to have these out, especially the Sembene films, which although special feature impaired, have never been available in this country, at a reasonable price anyways. The L'Argent DVD is loaded though, complete with audio commentary, Bresson interviews, and more. This looks like the same DVD release that came out earlier in Europe, and hopefully Pickpocket and The Trial of Joan of Arc, which were also released at the same time, will come out here. But Bresson is special, so I'll just rejoice at this for now, at least until Balthazar comes out later this month.

I also bought L'Argent. Great job by Kent Jones with the commentary, but I also urge everyone to get their hands on his book he's written on the film. Quality wise, Artificial-Eye (U.K.) disc is said to be better, but no commentary!

Just got Au Hasard Balthazar in the mail. A little disappointed with the lack of special features, but the fact that the film is out is enough of a special event for me.

ABC Africa arrived today, my two Makhmalbaf films seem to have been delayed though. Doesn't really matter, got more than enough to keep me busy.

Maybe I should rename this topic, wpqx's DVD's.

Anyways Unfaithfully Yours and La Notti Blanche showed up today, one day early. Anyways look to get into those soon enough, I should be studying right now so maybe later tonight I'll get to viewing them.
