Anora (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) (Capelight Shop Exclusive) [Germany]
- Thread starter astycorax
- Start date
X was just a shared print run they got from the Italians though, not made by Capelight themselves.
Apparently capelight's encode is slightly better than Criterion's (according to a first hand opinion from bd com), plus it has a 7.1 track (as opposed to a 5.1 track), although Criterion's track is louder. HOWEVER the English subs are for the entire track, not just the non-English parts, which is always very irritating.
I can load subs externally, so it's not the end of the world for me. Criterion's bonus disc also has more features, plus there's the nice digi slip, and the booklet. I feel like I'll end up mashing the two together and half hope a premium doesn't come along.

Wait, so if I want to watch the film in english I can't watch it properly because I have to turn on the subtitles for the entire film? I speak German but that would still be really annoying because I want to watch/read the original. In that case I'd actually really hope for an international premium to be releases at some point. Or did I get the subtitle thing wrong?
Correct. Complete English subs, rather than foreign parts only. I'm unsure about the German audio/subs option.
Stunning steelbook. Just wished I liked the movie more. The first hour was amazing then was all downhill for me.
The director's previous films were somewhat empty pretentious artsy stuff, but this is actually great, the second half, or even two thirds of it, is like that Steve Buscemi directed episode "Pine Barrens" from the third season of The Sopranos, where they're trying to kill a Russian mobster, in that the humor and lots of cursing is similar,only here there's no killing and more cursing, in three languages...
I was waiting for a Criterion sale, but bought both of these yesterday – mediabook B and steel, and they shipped them out already today.
Vice versa... but first third is also good, reminded me of my teenage years, not that I hired any pr... companions.

Which ones did you (actually) watch? I'd be heartbroken to hear that anybody would think that about Florida Project. Red Rocket I've rewatched twice already, it is just so funny and provocative and I've just bought this set of his prior movies and I can't wait......
Not sure I've ever seen someone describe Red Rocket, Tangerine or Florida Project as "empty pretentious artsy stuff". I like Anora, it's generally quite humorous and lighthearted, but I think Tangerine and The Florida Project in particular feel far more real and grounded than this ever will.
