We certainly can't blame them for losing the rights (if they couldn't match F-L's bids), but since F-L didn't release any of the Antoine Doinel DVDs until after the Criterion 400 Blows went OOP, I would think that they were all available to Criterion while they had 400 Blows. Please correct me...

I should probably let sleeping dogs lie, but I do have one important point to make about Criterion. quote: I'd like to point out about the MK2 400 Blows that only the feature and short film have subtitles, which leaves the majority of the supplements utterly inaccessible for many...

I’m with both Al and Rouslan on this argument. How is that possible? I am certainly very happy with Criterion – I counted last night that I have 33 of their DVDs and they are for the most part great. By the same token, I don’t think (unfortunately) that their name is an absolute guarantee of...
