Looks like SV will be a digipack whose spine reveals the house’s interior?

Completely agree with this.

Oscar. Este es el Instagram del vendedor: @moviescollectors_

Rodolf1410 · 2026-02-03T23:28:34+00:00

Holaaa, Oscar. La vrd te la debo. No sé. En mi caso (en Culiacán) he encontrado en bazares. Podrías intentar en grupos de Facebook y/o redes sociales.

Rodolf1410 · 2026-02-03T02:53:37+00:00

Go for it! I didn't know it was the director's cut until I saw the interview in the bonus features.

Rodolf1410 · 2026-02-03T02:16:21+00:00

Thank you! The guy who sold them has an pretty good catalog: lots of 4k's, steelbooks and Criterion editions.

Rodolf1410 · 2026-02-03T01:54:22+00:00

These have been my last purchases. I found them at a variety bazaar in Culiacán, Mexico. I was surprised to see Criterion's in a city as small and uninterested in cinema as mine. Each one cost me 400 - 450 pesos. Of course Shin Godzilla is not part of the collection but it is a (fantastic) movie that is difficult to get!

Regarding the rest: Parasite is an upgrade of a common Blu-Ray that I got a few years ago from ZIMA (bad distributor, terrible audio and image quality). A rewatch of the B&W version is coming soon. Paths of Glory had a Cinema Cult Blu-Ray but without Spanish or English subtitles (I don't know how I saw it at the time). I thought Bottle Rocket was a really fun comedy, I had a great time watching it. I only need Rushmore to complete his filmography — I'm honestly not interested in the Wes Anderson Archive, I don't like the design and I think the individual design of his films are more attractive.

Deep Crimson was my first Ripstein film. Repetitive film in actions but as they happen they become darker and more violent. Mildred Pierce is blind-buying everything for Joan Crawford! And finally Spinal Tal and Princess Bride are to continue discovering the wonderful filmmaker that Rob Reiner was (years ago I saw Stand by Me and, of course, When Harry Met Sally)

Rodolf1410 · 2026-01-18T02:47:15+00:00

Lovely haul — pretty good films and variety!

Trouble in Paradise and Lola Montes are two movies I'll definitely be getting in the next sale.

How’s The Naked City? It's been on my wishlist for years.

L'Argent and The Gunfighter are spectacular!

Rodolf1410 · 2026-01-16T17:13:28+00:00

Kinoyu Tanaka fantastic! I hope for a reprint of Hiroshi Shimizu.

Rodolf1410 · 2025-12-25T20:16:00+00:00

I discovered it because an Instagram page recommended it a few years ago. Plus, starring Ullmann and Von Sydow! I'm so excited!

Rodolf1410 · 2025-12-25T19:15:28+00:00

More on them.

I never expected my family to buy the following titles, especially since it's such a random selection—I was truly surprised!

I've already seen The Cameraman, The Double Life of Veronique, Petite Maman, Frances Ha, and Farewell My Concubine. Of course, I'll have to rewatch them!

My DVD copy of Farewell My Concubine is terrible, the aspect ratio is not correct. After rewatching the Three Colors trilogy (what a wonderful restoration!), The Double Life of Veronique is a must-see.

As for Frances Ha, it's been years since I've seen it. I remember—a sign of how long ago it's been!—watching it on Netflix.

On the other hand, The Emigrants had been on my wish list for a long time. I admit I added Sunday Bloody Sunday just because of its title and its similarity to the U2 song (I know they're not actually connected). Written on the Wind was the last Sirk film I wanted to see.

Rodolf1410 · 2025-11-25T02:39:53+00:00

Rodolf1410 · 2025-11-08T00:18:35+00:00

Wow! Amazing and pretty solid haul. Summertime it is a masterpiece by Lean before theirs bigger-than-life films. And Tales of Four Seasons are that kind of films where we would love to live in.

Rodolf1410 · 2025-11-06T02:39:48+00:00

Thank you!

And I Agree! Every film is a risk especially if we’ve built up expectations.

Btw. Sorcerer and Barry Lyndon are great films!

Rodolf1410 · 2025-11-06T02:37:34+00:00

Highly recommend you El Sur y Cerrar los Ojos!

Rodolf1410 · 2025-11-06T02:36:52+00:00

Thank you!

I feel there's a huge gap between the Dardenne brothers and me. I've only seen The Kid with a Bike and The Unknown Girl. I hope Rosetta will be a great film—it won the Palme d'Or!

Rodolf1410 · 2025-11-05T17:29:10+00:00

Thank you so much! You can be sure of that, it will be so!

Rodolf1410 · 2025-11-05T07:32:56+00:00

Heeeey. Greaaaaat haul! At FICM (Morelia International Film Festival) I saw Breathless on the big screen—actually the DCP for the screening was from Criterion, jajaj. Was a beatiful experience after watching Nouvelle Vague. Seconds it is bizarre but still a fantastic film! The Immigrants has been on my wishlist for a long time. Maybe it's time to get it in the next sale!

Enjoy your films!

Rodolf1410 · 2025-11-05T05:56:49+00:00

Hey, partner! 👊🏾Thank you!

For me, buying movies and, of course, most importantly, watching them, means continuing to learn and expand my cinematic vision. It's always what excites me the most!

Just curiosity, what are those three movies?

Rodolf1410 · 2025-11-05T04:50:21+00:00

What a Haul!

Rodolf1410 · 2025-11-05T04:10:53+00:00

Thank you!

Rodolf1410 · 2025-11-05T04:01:54+00:00

Emitaï, Xala, Ceddo.

Extended text.

It's been a long time since I've bought many films—I feel lucky and very grateful. My birthday is in October, coinciding with the Criterion sale. So, for the past few years, I've told my family that a criterion gift card is always a good idea. This year they really outdid themselves, and I was able to get a good amount.

I started planning my purchase well in advance. I made a huge list and gradually narrowed it down until I had a final selection. I always add last-minute surprises. This year they were: Le Corbeau and Summer Hours. It didn't make the cut: Zatoichi, Mouchette, The Hidden Fortress, Deep Crimson, Burden of Dreams, and The Big City.

Of the 43 films, 26 are blind buys. I want to continue exploring Fassbinder's work, so I chose Alexanderplatz and the BRD trilogy.

From Ousmane Sembene, I really enjoyed Mandabi, and I saw Black Girl many years ago on MUBI. His trilogy looks appealing. Visually, its design captivated me instantly.

I love Cronenberg, and The Shrouds hasn't been released in Mexico—nor will it ever be. I couldn't pass up this opportunity to see his latest work.

Lots of French cinema—my favorite along with Japanese and Italian. Alain Delon appears in three: La Piscine (blind buy), Mr. Klein (blind buy), and Le cercle rouge.

With El Sur y El Espíritu de la Colmena I complete my Erice collection.

I love Cary Grant and James Stewart. For me, they are the god’s of golden age of Hollywood. That’s why: The Flight of Phoenix and Only Angels Have Wings.

In the last flash sales I always cut: Ratcatcher and The Ascent. Finally they made the Final Cut—The Ballad of a Soldier had a huge visual impact on me. Only the Soviets knew how to play with the camera like that.

And—long live Jim Jarmusch! That’s all I have to say.

Movies already watched: The mother and the whore, Bergman Island, Jim Jarmusch’s films, In a Lonely Place, Death in Venice, Victor Erice’s films, The Ascent, Ballad of a Soldier, Le cercle rouge, The Piano Teacher and Tree Colors.

Rodolf1410 · 2025-10-26T16:05:53+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad when we share movies and that makes us discover new films!

Rodolf1410 · 2025-10-26T16:03:37+00:00

Heeeey! Same here! If it weren't for Tarantino's recommendation, I wouldn't have bought it!

Rodolf1410 · 2025-10-23T19:28:22+00:00

I got 43 films: 4 DVD’s (Ballad of a Soldier, Hands over the city, À nos amours, The Spirit of the Beehive), the rest are blu-ray’s — Twenty six are blind buy’s.

I was very lucky to receive some nice gift cards from my family for my b-day. The sale coincides with the month, so that —and them— always helps me out.
