Orson Welles MacBETH restored edition

Took a chance on this Korean edition and was pleasantly surprised. It's NTSC.

I'm not good with French, but it seems like there's a R2 French 3-disc edition for Macbeth. Amazon.fr: Macbeth - Édition Collector 3 DVD [inclus 1 livre de 80 pages]: Orson Welles,Jeanette Nolan,Dan O'Herlihy,Roddy McDowall,Edgar Barrier,Alan Napier: DVD

From what I can tell, it has...

- Both the 1948 theatrical cut and the restored Welles original cut
- Clip from Welles' 1936 all-black stage production "Voodoo Macbeth" (4 min)
- 1940 Mercury Theatre radio adaptation of Macbeth (I think it's this)
- Featurette on Welles and Shakespeare (13 min.)
- Featurette on the two versions (26 min.)
- Restoration featurette (13 min)
- Seems to have an 80 page booklet

Seems like a package Masters of Cinema should pick up.

Tell The Weinstein Company to release Richard Williams' animated masterpiece The Thief and the Cobbler on DVD in Panavision widescreen and uncut! See and hear what you're missing from their Bitsy Award winner of Worst Standard Edition DVD of 2006 on YouTube!

Its a shame this title is currently locked up in the deathgrip of Lionsgate. I'd love to see a Criterion of it.

Oh hell.
Here I go again.

On second thought, l'll ask around for someone who speaks French because my little pocket translator never addresses the phrasing.
