Has anyone seen the Fox Lorber DVD of the movie 400 Blows?
How was it?

Criterion are going to be re-releasing this movie next year in a new special edition (more supplements, new restored anamorphic transfer), along with some more Truffauts. This is not a mere rumour.Where did you read this? I almost purchased the Criterion version, but didn't because I lost my bid on eBay. If it really is going to be re-released by Criterion, I would gladly wait. I just thought that their relationship with Fox Lorber/Winstar had deteriorated to a point where revisisting their OOP titles is out of the question.

However if you actually love The 400 Blows as opposed to Criterion, I would suggest getting the wonderful MK2 edition now, rather than waiting and waiting for the new Criterion (which in the end may end up porting the MK2 edition).

the French R2 DVD from MK2. It is a fine anamorphic transfer, does have English subtitles (ignore what Cinestore says) and has all kinds great extras from Truffaut's short Les Mistons to priceless audition footage of most of the kids cast in the film including Jean-Pierre Leaud.Thanks for this information, Ted. . I was completely unaware of this disk.
