Author Topic: Mon Oncle & M. Hulot's Holiday Back on DVD for 2004 Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-03-2003 08:53 AM                     At long last Criterion has succeeded in renewing it rights to Jacques Tati's classic films "Mon Oncle", "M.Hulot's Holiday" "Playtime" and "Jour de Fete". The original Criterion editions of "Mon Oncle" & "M. Hulot's Holiday" will be back in print starting January of 2004. The DVD's will be indentical to Criterion's original editions in every way. No word on the re-release date on the new "Playtime" and "Jour de Fete" DVDs.  |  IP: Logged Chris Markiewicz Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: Glenaviegh, County Tipperary, Ireland Registered: Aug 2002 posted 11-03-2003 01:53 PM                     That is great news! I have all the 2001 Criterion releases except for JOUR DE FETE. Any word on who has the DVD rights to TRAFFIC (1971)? The original French title is of course TRAFIC. It is or was available on VHS from Home Vision as part of "From the Tati Collection".  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 11-07-2003 06:34 PM                        Traffic was a Columbia release i Denmark, but an independant production, i'm afraid - maybe not easy to find today. Looking foreward to them all - if they come this way around, that is. I was trying last year to achive the distribution rights for the 70mm Play Time, but was outdone by some swedes, buying it for all Scandinavis, I was told, but none of the Tati films got here 35 or 70 mm - at all... I don't like the french ! p.  |  IP: Logged Gilbert Travin Expert Film Handler Posts: 101 From: Villeurbanne / France Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-12-2004 10:13 AM                        Hello Bill ; Useless to look for "zones 2" : A search on a french server has given the followings results : "Jour de fête" , "M. Hulot Holidays" and "Mon Oncle" has been withdrawn of the sale, they are non-currently available ... in France. Parade (1974) avaible zone 2 only, french speaking, and no subtitles Playtime avaible zone 2 only, french speaking, and no subtitles, 16/9, monophonic sound (where are the six track of 70 mm release ???) Trafic available zone 2 only, french speaking, and no subtitles Conclusion : these releases "zone 2" are not at all interesting for you I think it is urgent to wait better editions with subtitles  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-12-2004 01:06 PM                     The soon tobe re-released Criterion editions are zone 1 with subtitles. On Friday I got "M. Hulot's Holiday".  |  IP: Logged
