I’d love to buy it but I already have the dvd. This is why I stopped buying criterion dvds. I’ll only buy blu-rays now.
So, remember when Criterion initially started releasing the Blu-Ray titles and they said they’d give a deal to any customer upgrading from DVD to BLU-Ray?
Are they still rewarding that Deal?
Here’s Dave Kehr :
“let me recommend Criterion’s new Blu-ray of “M.” The contrast looks to have been boosted a little, but otherwise all the grain and detail is there, transferred primarily from the original camera negative (with some missing footage filled in from archive prints) and presented in the subtly narrower aspect ratio (1.19) of early sound. With images like the one above, did Fritz really leave anything for the film noir guys to invent? "
I want to buy it, even though I know that I didn’t love M when I saw it. I think it’s worth it just in getting the new English-language version that hasn’t been seen here before. Pretty damn cool.

Well I don’t have the DVD so I bought the Blu-ray. I never looked at anything better from a film of the era.

I have the 2004 Criterion DVD, but I’m curious to see M in hi-def. Is it worth the upgrade? (Perhaps I shall just ‘acquire’ it :P)
