Nobody asked you to Nos.That's your opinion and that's mine.
You wouldn't need to pay £40 for Suspiria on 4k.You can pick it up for far less.

I've to laugh-a lot of you wouldn't think twice for paying £40 for a Criterion arty-farty blu ray that isn't 4k and doesn't come with other goodies...

Just watched Frankenheimer's superb WWII thriller The Train starring Burt Lancaster.

I'd love to know what possessed Arrow to opt for the front cover artwork they did when the original poster art on the reverse is a million times better.

I know you can change them around, that's what i did, but come on no one in their right mind would think the new art a more likely selling point than the original.

Considering I spent twice the amount on Dawn of the Dead, £40 for Deep Red isn't (comparatively speaking) a lot of money.

However, it's not one of my all-time favourite films, so that is a major factor.

Additionally, because I'm considering buying two or four 4K Ultra HD releases in the HMV 2 for £30 offer, £40 does seem like a lot of money.

It's a strange one to justify and I would have probably already pre-ordered it if it was £30.

I suppose......I love Suspiria,but Deep Red along with Tenebrae and Four Flies are my favourite Argentos.
I prefer his gialli films to his supernatural stuff....

Want a laugh?
I watched Mother of Tears on Japanese bd last night,now whilst nowhere near in the same league as Suspiria or even Inferno,I did laugh at this......

the scene where Asia jumps in a taxi while all around her Rome is in riots......typical taxi driver.....**** it Im out working......

Now that's what we need- Mother of Tears. I love that film. It's a train wreck, but damn funny at the same time. You've not seen the full majesty of Argento until you've seen someone strangled with their own rubbery-looking intestines. Almost as funny as the ghostly apparition of Daria Nicolodi that pops up to explain the plot.

I could get on board with a 3 disc box set of that...

NEW TITLE: Rainer Werner Fassbinder Collection Volume 1 (Limited Edition Blu-ray)

Release Date: October 11

Arrow RRP: £50:00

"Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the enfant terrible of the New German Cinema, wrote, directed, produced and starred in over 40 films in his short but prolific life, before passing away of a drugs overdose in 1982 aged just 37. Rainer Werner Fassbinder vol. 1 brings together a collection of his finest works from the early years of his career in high definition digital restorations prepared by the Rainer Werner Fassbinder Foundation.

His debut feature Love is Colder Than Death (1969) is a playful but cynical crime picture, inspired by the nouvelle vague. Katzelmacher (1969) depicts the dynamics of a group of young layabout friends, which are radically altered by the arrival of an immigrant worker in their community. Beware of a Holy Whore (1971) pulls the curtain on the backstage dramas of the cast and crew of a film shoot as they wait in a Spanish seaside hotel for the arrival of funds to continue their production. The Merchant of Four Seasons (1971) portrays the downfall of a beleaguered fruit seller in 1950s Munich as he struggles to keep his family, body and soul together.

Originally written and produced as a stage play, The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972) focuses on the loves, losses and lamentations of the titular Petra, a successful fashion designer with two marriages behind her and an estranged daughter. The Ulli Lommel-directed Tenderness of the Wolves (1973) sees Fassbinder adopting the role of producer in a bleak tale based on the German serial killer Fritz Haarmann, memorably played by Fassbinder regular Kurt Raab, who also wrote the screenplay."
