Feel like an inbred redneck saying no to this title, it´s because of the movie itself...gotta have some feeling for it but this one, Amelie and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas just don`t get my holiday spirit up so I open up my wallet.
 
Brilliant film, brilliant soundtrack. I had already gotten the regular Korean release for this film months ago, and i'm certain it'll be the same disc but i will be buying this steelbook.

Gotta love speaking a multitude of languages, and not requiring English subtitles for the German dialogue. :D
 
this one, Amelie and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas just don`t get my holiday spirit up so I open up my wallet.

Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain is a pretty upbeat film, especially when you compare it to two Holocaust movies :p.

Once again, I'm on board with Kimchi on this one :). I was pretty unhappy with their choice of Monsters University as Exclusive #7 (paying an extra €15 for a blurry lenticular slip hiding the same average-looking steelbook as everywhere else in the world, no thank you) but Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain as Exclusive #8 and now The Pianist as Exclusive #9 are making me very excited indeed.

I remember crying a bit when we watched this film in class when I was 13 :(. Powerful stuff, haunting music, I can't wait to have this steelbook so I can watch it again. Gloss all around + embossed keyboard please !

And much like fellow Kimchi exclusives Le Grand Bleu, Léon and Amélie Poulain, it's also a French film behind the camera (and it's co-produced with the UK, Poland and Germany). Kimchi seem to have a thing for not going to the obvious US blockbuster and I like that.

Totally no interest in this whatsoever. Total plap as far as I'm concerned. Will defo be giving this a big time miss. Fair play to anyone who likes this but a big blankety blank cheque book and pen from me.
 
Very happy to see this title being released and I reckon the Steel artwork should work well too. I like what kimchi are doing and hope they continue with these 'different' releases.

Being a completist, I will pick up any title they release tbh. But it helps when they put in the effort like here. I'd much prefer they weren't releasing the same titles as other premium distributors / retailers / forums so that they further set themselves apart in this game.
 
awesome film, but not the kind you wanna watch over and over, the steelbook looks incredible too....but i'm happy we having more titles release in steelbook....
 
Another pass for me =(

What I thought was going to be a collection of titles that were either genre defining hits in really great steels (T2) or cancelled/rare steelbooks re-released in great packaging (Le Grande) is ending up being just well-regarded-to-new-kid-friendly-movies being released. Tangled, Monsters U., Amelie, and now The Pianist? Thank God for Infernal Affairs and Leon cuz otherwise I'd have to stop supporting the great effort the Kimchi company is putting out there with their releases entirely.

This is not a kid friendly movie in the same fields s the ones you listed. It's extremely violent and realistic portrayal of genocide and one mans struggle. It's really powerful but a hard watch and it made my class lose it in most scenes.
 
Awesome! I knew this was going to be released! :)

Please, include the re-mastered version and spanish subtitles!
 
Not a fan of the border. But the back looks great. I like the look of the previous Korean(?) release that had the back as the front.

I didn't care for the film when it came out but seeing how highly regarded it is now (8.5 on IMDb!) I want to give it another shot.
