The Complete Metropolis Blu-ray officially announced and detailed
We got our first look at the UK Masters of Cinema Metropolis boxed set back in May and holy crap did it appear to be the best thing ever. I was really, really hoping that the North American version from Kino International would be an exact copy, complete with commentary track and comparable packaging. Sadly, it seems the Kino edition might be a bit more of a stripped down affair. …Continued…
UK Masters of Cinema Blu-ray edition of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis revealed
The full original cut of Fritz Lang’s silent masterpiece Metropolis was thought lost for the better part of the last century. When a nearly complete copy of the film was discovered in Argentina in 2008, restoration experts in Berlin were almost immediately put to work repairing and completing a version of the film that is as close to the original intent as modern audiences have ever witnessed. The restored original version of Metropolis was screened this past February, nearly 83 years since its initial premiere in 1927. It’s been a known fact for quite some time that the film would make its Blu-ray debut some time this fall but now we have the first glimpse of the drool-worthy UK Masters of Cinema release. …Continued…
Fritz Lang's M Blu-ray Detailed
It was almost exactly a month ago that we told you all about Masters of Cinema’s upcoming slate of Blu-ray releases, including Fritz Lang’s M. But at that time, we didn’t have any details to share. Well, here they are! And the disc looks amazing! The special features don’t duplicate Criterion’s DVD release at all (all new commentary tracks and documentaries!) so hold onto those editions if you’ve got them. Remember, however, that these MOC releases are UK only for the time being, so if you live on the same side of the Atlantic as me, you’ll have to import from Amazon.co.uk or the like, if you want them for yourself.

New Masters of Cinema Blu-ray Announcements: Lang’s M, Murnau's City Girl, Godard's Une Femme Mariée
It’s days like these that make me wish I was living back in the UK. The brilliant Masters of Cinema label have just announced their first three Blu-ray titles of 2010 – Fritz Lang’s M, F.W. Murnau’s City Girl and Jean-Luc Godard’s Une Femme Mariée. We’ve got package art for all three and details for two of the titles. Still waiting to find out what’s going to be on the M disc. If the incredible MOC edition of Murnau’s Sunrise is any indication, we’re in for a real treat with this next batch of releases. Guess I better put my ordering finger to work on Amazon.co.uk. I’ve got me some importing to do! …Continued…
Masters of Cinema announce F.W. Murnau's silent Sunrise for Blu-ray in the UK
Hey, you North American readers! Ever heard of the UK home video label Eureka? How about their Masters of Cinema series of DVDs and Blu-ray discs. Well, they’re kind of like the Criterion Collection for Region 2 (or Region B, if you’re talking Blu-ray) and they’re amazing. If you take a look at their list of titles, you’ll actually find that their catalogue is a good combination of Criterion and Kino titles, augmented with a selection of brilliant Asian cinema and European favourites. …Continued…
