It says it comes out in April, they'd released it before but I think this one has new special features included check it out at criterionco.com

Yeah, this was one of their earliest DVD titles. Another company--the name of which escapes me--released their own version of it, but this is Criterion we're talking about.

truffaut was a god till 1964, but i'm pretty happy with my fox lorber edition that only cost me $15. unless it's another '8 1/2' or 'contempt', i don't think i'll be picking this one up.

 

now, if they released 'the 400 blows' with 'shoot the piano player' and 'jules & jim' in a 3-pack, i'd buy that INSTANTLY. i'd have to, cause once i pick it up to look at it, there's no way i'd ever let go of it again.

You telling me you don't admire "Stolen Kisses" or "Day for Night"?

i've never seen a bad truffaut film, but after 'jules & jim' he seemed to lose all his ambition. the difference between 'jules & jim' and his next movie, 'the soft skin', is just startling. the latter looks flat & conventional, & doesn't have that breath of life--compared to one of the most energetic movies ever made, it seems lifeless. the rest of his career was kind of like that: good stuff, but slight and insignificant. he still brought this warmth and charm to his movies, and he still made good movies, but nothing came close to his first 3 features. those first 3 knocked me on my ass and were made by a god. movies like 'day for night' are fun and really cute, but they just lack that substance & inimitable style.
