I just purchased a UK promo DVD of The Go-Between that seems to have been given away with the Sunday Telegraph. It's a bare-bones disc, but with nice picture quality - it's 4:3 and I don't know if that's the intended AR, but the compositions looked fine to me. There are several copies floating around on eBay.

The Assassination Of Trotsky was released in the USA this month: Amazon listing
No reviews are available, though. Lance (Koch) seem to be a new company.

Given the date, it's almost certainly not the intended AR, but I had cause to examine a 35mm print not that long ago and can confirm that it's open-matte 4:3.vertovfan wrote:I just purchased a UK promo DVD of The Go-Between that seems to have been given away with the Sunday Telegraph.

I assume projectionists were supposed to crop it - presumably to 1.66:1 in British cinemas.

Optimum have updated their website and announce that Losey's The Go-Between will be released in late January (on R2). No word on supplements, if any.

Hideo Nakata's 83-minute documentary, Joseph Losey: The Man with Four Names would be perfect, but I doubt we'll ever see it.tryavna wrote:No word on supplements, if any.

Amazon now have THE GO-BETWEEN at 50% off [7.97]. Unfortunately it has been reported already as being 1.33:1. If anything it should be 1.66:1 - like ACCIDENT - but I can't find oar details.
The Julie Christie box is due out in March and DVD Times state that THE GO-BETWEEN is included with a 1.85:1 transfer. The only problem is that the same company is putting this out [Optimum] and they already have 1.85:1 listed on the current version. I'd be surprised if the box set version is any different. Who are these guys? Don't they know its the 20th century?

Is the Australian release of Figures in a Landscape anamorphic?

Do these have English subtitles? The R1 versions of the Losey/Bogarde films do not.DrBanan wrote:Optimum apparently released the seven-disc "Dirk Bogarde - The Screen Icons Collection" on July 23, which includes three by Losey: Accident, The Servant, and The Sleeping Tiger.
Reviews anyone/anywhere?

I now have checkdiscs of Second Sight's Don Giovanni, and it looks like a blinding transfer - anamorphic, framed correctly at 1.66:1 and seemingly blemish-free.
The biggest (and most pleasant) surprise is that the soundtracks have been pitch-corrected, so despite the PAL speedup the opera remains in D minor - more details here
