This Frances HA slipbox is beautiful. I'm gonna have to bite.

Anybody know anything about the transfer for this release?

I was thinking about selling my Criterion version for this...

 

[dirtyoak]

I have the Criterion editon but haven't seen it yet. Won't double dip on this before I watch it. And I don't expect it to be a type of film I'll feel like double dipping on either.

It looks good but I don't like the pink on the spine. It stands out in a bad way to me.

Every time I see this slip box it makes me think of Sex & the City....

 

[thecardman23]

Couldn't resist. Slipbox is too beautiful - and the numbering makes it even nicer.

Placed my order along with Kimchi HER. Will post pics once I receive it.

@thecardman23 , is this film any good? I've seen the trailer and like the look of it, it's just there are mixed reviews on it.
I'd love to see the pictures when your copy arrives!

One of my favourite films of last year. I keep coming back to this thread to look at the picture. It looks like such a nice package, but I've been itching to get Criterion's release.

@William Have you seen any of Noah Baumbach's other films? If those did anything for you, then I'd recommend this for sure. Think lots of talking between people being funny, sad, and funny sad, great music and performances. It's much less melancholy that his previous stuff though, and the whole thing is pretty much a giant salute to Woody Allen/French New Wave.

 

[William]

@Futurhythm
No, I haven't seen any other Noah Baunbach films unfortunately. I'm also a bit hit&miss when it comes to Woody Allen, but quite like the French New Wave. Are there any other directors that are similar to Baumbach? Judging from the trailer alone (so if I am wrong, I do apologise) but it seems like a film that could be described as a 'happy Jim Jarmusch' film? Again I could be wrong...

Happy Jim Jarmusch is perfect! I think Baumbach even said Jarmusch was an influence on this picture. As for the Woody Allen bit, it's really more in terms of cinematography and tone. The movie looks a LOT like Manhattan and and is very similar in tone to his other 70s work like Annie Hall.

 

[William]

Apologies for the delay in response!
With those recommendations in similarities, I sure hope my funding will allow me to get it!
I'm so happy that my 'Happy Jim Jarmusch' saying was correct, I've only seen a few of his films (I've bought but yet to watch his latest, Only Lovers Left Alive) but that is the sort of reaction I got from the trailer.
With your predicament regarding whether to go for this release or the Criterion release, I would love to help you decide but I am not that familiar with what is so special about the Criterion release. I understand that they are part of a collection, but are they numbered, do they have world exclusive art, or do they have booklets (like this version)?

 

[William]

@Futurhythm and everyone else on this thread, I've just bought this from Novamedia!
I have to say, I would't have bought it if it weren't for this thread advertising it for me.

Criterion releases (99% of the time) have the best picture and audio quality. Add to that nice artwork and booklets. Also, their booklets are always very well written and almost worth it for the price alone.

 

[William]

Hmm....tough one.
I suppose if you have many other Criterion releases then maybe the criterion for this would be best. But if you maybe have only one or two, then maybe this version will be the one to get.
I suppose, I'm trying to say, let the deciding factor be how many other criterion releases you have.

Another way, that I personally find helpful, is to flip a coin. Now once you have seen which face it has landed on, you should judge by your initial reaction.
If you get what I mean...

I really enjoyed it. Woody Allen's earlier projects with female lead are a good comparison.

I received this one a month ago. Have been too busy to post pics - but will do so when I get home tonight.

 

[William]

@thecardman23
Thank you!
I can't wait to see the pictures! It is really hard to gain a clear picture as to what it looks like when all you have is the shop pages' picture. I'm especially intrigued as to how thick in width the spine is.
Thanks again!

 

[William]

Mine has just arrived, I'll post pictures tonight.
@Futurhythm , I don't know if you are still debating upon this or the Criterion release, so I hope the pictures will help!

 

[Man on 1Wire x 6 3]

I need to see this film. More and more tempted by this version...

 

[William]

Here are the photos. I do apologise that I chose my bed as the background, it is the only surface that is one colour!

 

[RepoMan90]

That slip really did turn out beautiful, thanks for the pics William, that's convinced me to bite!

 

[William]

I forgot to say, the slip although not em/de-bossed, it is super glossy!
@RepoMan90 , if you do get a copy, could you tell me what number you got. In the fifth image above, my copy has a sticker with GNM 0201 written on it. I presume that is the individual number, but if your copy has the same number, then I'm wrong.
Thanks!
