One of my favorite Polanski films! Picking this one up for sure.

and one that has eluded a decent release even on DVD in this country

Thought this would be about RAN.

Thought this would be about RAN.

Nope, this would be about a disturbing little arthouse horror classic from Roman Polanski (CHINATOWN, ROSEMARY'S BABY, TESS, THE PIANIST), that starred Catherine Deneuve in her first big role.

Count me in. I need some "brandy".

Lordy mercy. This one has been a long time coming, at least for the R1 vicinity.

For people easily frightened this one will probably be way too much. Will do for things glimpsed out of the corner of one's eye what Psycho did for showering in an empty dwelling.

Looks amazing--par for the course, for Criterion. If every studio treated their blu-ray releases like Criterion, many of these threads would dry up! :)

Long live Criterion!!

Those screen grabs look awesome, very film-like. Can't wait to add this classic to my collection!!!

Anyone get their copy yet?

Yeah, it's fantastic.

Wish Criterion's new cases were slimmer, but I'll take them every time over those huge, easily deformed digipak ones.
