Excellent as usual DonaldB :)
The Saddest Music in the World
That's on TV tomorrow night in the UK on BBC 4. Strange film. The MGM USA release (not Canadian) is the way to go for those wanting the extras.
For fans of the beautiful film Bright Future, there are a couple more of Kiyoshi...

Week of 6/5
Daddy Nostalgia (Bertrand Tavernier, 1990) Koch Lorber
Strange they didn't call it Daddy Nostalgie or These Foolish Things.
Good news, but here's hoping the subtitles are handled well and that we get the same excellent transfer that's already available in France.
DonaldB -Excellent as usual :)

I'm REALLY looking forward to that. Strange that I can only find it listed in one store and they say it's already released.
If anyone gets more info please post :)
I loved Bird People in China too.

Fear X (Nicolas Winding Refn, USA/Denmark). [UK Region 2]. Matrix Distribution.
That is in fact a Region 0 UK release. I hope this will be standard from this new distributor. The image is an excellent 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer. DD2.0 only. Great film.
Those Warner/StudioCanal boxsets have had more release dates than the people at Guantanamo Bay. Godard's Weekend was originally in that boxset.

Fans of Patrice Chereau will be disappointed to hear the USA release of Son Frere is very poor
That's a pity Strand are so lazy (nothing new).
The French DTS looks the best so far although there's no English subtitles. The UK disc (14 June) is being listed as "Widescreen anamorphic DD5.1")...
