I've been waiting for the Criterion Tati collection, but I changed my mind and ordered the UK set instead. The thing that decided it for me was the fact that the UK set includes more versions of a couple of films, in particular Jour de Fete, which on UK is in the original B&W, spot tinting version and color version. Criterion doesn't include the original B&W. There are also alternate versions of Mon Oncle and Hulot's Holiday on the UK that will not be on the Criterion set.
The Criterion set probably has better supplements, the UK set has mostly analysis by a French film scholar, but it's the films and the alternate versions I really care about. At Amazon UK the set was around $75 shipped, so that makes it $50 cheaper too.
Has anyone gotten this box yet who can comment on the supplements?
