Just out of curiosity, I’m wondering if there are any Criterion fans outside of R1. If not, what are the distributors analogous to Criterion in various Regional Codes? If so, where do you get your DVD?

@RAY – Eureka!/Masters of Cinema, Artificial Eye, StudioCanal… For Masters of Cinema, you can get them cheaper from them. Sign up for their e-mail newsletter and every month they will send you an e-mail to their monthly deals. Artificial Eye, StudioCanal, etc. you can get them cheap on Amazon UK, FR, DE, etc.

very bravely! it makes me so sad that i’ve been forced to part company with MoC…at least now i can really commit myself to second run and those bfi’s i never managed to pick up. i’m not going blu-ray just for a few MoC releases…..

I’ve found Criterions for sale in the Virgin Megastores in Dubai.

Think they’re expensive in the US? Try 200 dirham (about 60 dollars) here.

I don’t know if they sell or not but I’m not gonna be buying them. I managed to get Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance here for 80 dirham (just over 20 bucks).

You can’t buy anything on regional websites without legitimate regional credit cards and you can’t get those credit cards without legitimate regional addresses…trust me. Fucking iTunes wont let me buy anything from the French store. : (
