Kennt jemand hier die "Criterion Collection" ? Dachte ich mir....

Im Herbst (genaues Datum kommt noch) erscheint als Nummer 304 der Criterion Collection der Film:

"The man who fell to earth"

MIT AUDIOKOMMENTAR VON DAVID BOWIE !!!!!!!!!!

Talking 'bout his family and the heat back home...

Thirteen years after the release of the excellent and beautifully packaged The Man Who Fell To Earth laser disc (see below) the film is to get the same treatment as a double DVD via The Criterion Collection again. (See above)

Due in September, one of the more exciting features of this release is the inclusion of the audio commentary by Nicolas Roeg, David Bowie and Buck Henry.

Here's a bit from the Criterion site:

The Man Who Fell to Earth is a daring exploration of science fiction as an art form. The story of an alien on an elaborate rescue mission provides the launching pad for Nicolas Roeg’s visual tour de force, a formally adventurous examination of alienation in contemporary life. Rock legend David Bowie completely embodies the title role, while Candy Clark, Buck Henry, and Rip Torn turn in pitch-perfect supporting performances.

The film’s hallucinatory vision was obscured in the American theatrical release, which deleted nearly twenty minutes of crucial scenes and details. The Criterion Collection is proud to present Roeg’s full, uncut version, in this exclusive new director-approved high-definition widescreen transfer.

DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION DOUBLE-DISC SET FEATURES:
~ New, restored high-definition digital transfer, supervised and approved by director Nicolas Roeg
~ Exclusive audio commentary by Roeg and actors David Bowie and Buck Henry
~ Performance, a compilation of new video interviews with actors Candy Clark and Rip Torn
~ New video interview with screenwriter Paul Mayersberg
~ Audio interviews with costume designer May Routh and production designer Brian Eatwell
~ Multiple stills galleries, including Routh’s costume sketches; behind-the-scenes photos; and production and publicity stills, introduced by set photographer David James
~ Gallery of posters from Roeg’s films
~ Trailers and television spots
~ Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
~ Plus: an exclusive reprint of Walter Tevis’s original novel, courtesy of Vintage Books, and a booklet featuring a new essay on the film by critic Graham Fuller and an appreciation of Tevis by novelist Jack Matthews
~ More!

... und wie sieht es mit dem RegionalCode aus - kann man das Ding auch hier abspielen? :nixweiss:

Was wollen die denn für dieses Sahnestück dann haben? Wo liegt der durchschnittliche VK dieses Labels?

Und noch ne Frage für ganz doofe oder solche, die es immer wieder vergessen: Welchen Region-Code können wir auf "normalen" Playern abspielen. Kann mir immer nur merken, dass 0 codefree bedeutet.

I live outside of North America. Will Criterion DVDs play on my machine?

The vast majority of Criterion DVDs are released with North American rights only. While there are DVD players that have been altered to allow various region discs to play on them and while many of our releases do not carry region encoding, we can not ship to addresses outside North America, nor can we provide technical support to customers outside of this territory.

Hört sich ja man nicht gut an    aber haben will ich sie trotzdem
