Happy Thanksgiving to the KL Team! I’ll be in the kitchen most of the day but plan on having some good old fashioned Americana on in the background all day including some fine KL releases.

Why am I not finding GLORIFYING THE AMERICAN GIRL on Kino's website? It's still on the schedule at the beginning of this thread for 12/3, and Amazon is showing the same date, so why isn't it up for pre-order at Kino's site? Did I miss an announcement of a delay?

It's a Kino Classics release. Not a KLSC release.

Whats the difference?

If you search for it on the www.klstudioclassics.com site, you won't find it. Searching for the title on www.kinolorber.com will turn up a positive result.

• Trailers

B&W 80 Minutes 1.66:1 Not Rated
From Claude Chabrol, the legendary director of Les Bonnes Femmes, Line of Demarcation, Les Biches, Le Boucher and L’Enfer, comes this suspenseful drama starring the great Stéphane Audran (The Twist, Babette’s Feast), Jacques Charrier (The Seven Deadly Sins, The Oldest Profession) and Walther Reyer (Tiger of Bengal, Journey to the Lost City). Albin Mercier (Charrier), a failed and disillusioned journalist, is sent to Germany to cover an event. There, he meets a successful writer (Reyer) who’s happily married to a Frenchwoman named Hélène (Audran). Bitterly jealous, yet besotted with the beautiful Hélène, he decides to ruin the couple’s lives. This cunning critique of the bourgeoisie was beautifully shot by the great Jean Rabier (Purple Noon, Elevator to the Gallows).

LINE OF DEMARCATION (1966) aka LA LIGNE DE DÉMARCATION
• Brand New 4K Restoration
• NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian Samm Deighan
• In French w/ Optional English Subtitles
• Dual-Layered BD50 Disc
• Trailers

From Claude Chabrol, the legendary director of Les Cousins, The Third Lover, The Unfaithful Wife, Betty and La Cérémonie, comes this WWII thriller set in a small town in the Jura Mountains split in two by a border between Nazi-occupied France and the Free Zone. In 1941, Pierre (Maurice Ronet, The Fire Within, Purple Noon, The Champagne Murders), a demobilized French military officer and the Count de Damville, returns to this border village to find it occupied by the Germans. His English-born schoolteacher wife (Jean Seberg, Breathless, Lilith, Paint Your Wagon) and the town’s citizens now belong to a Resistance group helping escaped prisoners reach the Free Zone. Co-starring Stéphane Audran (Les Biches, The Twist, Babette’s Feast) and Daniel Gélin (Napoleon, La Ronde, The Man Who Knew Too Much), and beautifully shot by the great Jean Rabier (The 400 Blows, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg).

MAX AND THE JUNKMEN (1971)
• NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian Samm Deighan
• In French w/ Optional English Subtitles
• Dual-Layered BD50 Disc
• Theatrical Trailer

Color 112 Minutes 1.66:1 Not Rated
From Claude Sautet, the legendary director of Classe Tous Risques, César and Rosalie, Un Coeur en Hiver and Nelly & Monsieur Arnaud, comes this sophisticated policier starring screen greats Romy Schneider (The Trial, What’s New Pussycat?) and Michel Piccoli (Contempt, Belle de Jour). Lone-wolf detective Max (Piccoli) is obsessed with bringing criminals to justice at any cost. He devises a plan to lure a scrap thief (Bernard Fresson, La Prisonnière, French Connection II) and his gang into committing a bank robbery—so that he can catch them red-handed. His plan is complicated when he tries to save a German-born prostitute (Schneider) from the top cop in the bank’s district (François Périer, Le Samouraï, The Nights of Cabiria). Striking cinematography by René Mathelin (The Man from Acapulco, The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe) and a rousing score by Philippe Sarde (The Tenant, La Grande Bouffe) highlight this deviously compelling psychological thriller.

Will be getting Line of Demarcation & And Hope to Die. To favourites from that era.

I believe Line of Demarcation may be a home video premiere in the U.S?

Is the December sale starting soon? Not that I need to spend any more money, but alas, I'm addicted.

Is the December sale starting soon? Not that I need to spend any more money, but alas, I'm addicted.

I thought the Kino Insider stated it will be on December 8th.

My wife is ready to divorce me over the Criterionsale (I missed the Arrow and Cohen sales over at B&N), Film Movement sale, both Warner Archive sales, and both Kino sales. And now another? Is there no end to this torture? I can't hide from her...

Actually, I can completely empathize with you, Jose. I can't tell you how many times I have heard the following sarcastic comment from my wife about my home media addiction: "We'll wind up in the poor house...but at least we'll have a fantastic home media collection!"

If you can build a home theater PC and make sure she’s not home when the disc packages arrive, you can just add movies to it at will without her finding out
