Very cool. I've been waiting a long time to see a Robbe-Grillet film.
Hope Koch Lorber treats the transfer with respect and don't just convert/port a PAL transfer to NTSC without doing the necessary adjustments to insure the best transfer.

. . . there is some reason for hope - Koch Lorber's recent DVD of Claude Sautet's wonderful UN COEUR EN HIVER/A HEART IN WINTER (1992), with Daniel Auteuil and Emmanuelle Beart, was a restored 1.66:1 HD transfer, supervised by the picture's Director of Photography, and, we thought, turned out well - no assurance here, but a positive indication . . .

Koch's UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG disc is nice, a great improvement over the old Fox Lorber (not a difficult feat, but still...), and transfered at the correct speed.

rumor has it they're releasing Phillipe Grandrieux's SOMBRE and possibly LA NOUVELLE VIE - two of the best 'TRUE mod-horror' flicks of the last decade!!

I wonder if we'll see more Robbe-Grillet releases coming up. What's the rights situation like with his films?

It's a pity that there is no comparison with the Japanese Imagica disc.

The USA release is listed with an 85m running time, as is the UK Second Sight version. Is one or the other pure PAL or NTSC, and which is a standards conversion?
Marc Morris - July 21, 2009 09:29 AM (GMT)
THE US disc is a standards conversion that hasn't been speed corrected.
