Amazon.ca:Customer reviews: Essential Fellini [Blu-ray]

Reviewed in Canada on January 5, 2021

Pour le centième anniversaire de naissance du cinéaste chouchou de l'Italie, la Collection Criterion a mis sur le marché un coffret commémoratif d'une qualité exceptionnelle qui présente quinze de ses films les plus importants. Ce n'est pas une série de films à regarder en rafale, goulument, mais plutôt une grande leçon sur le cinéma italien en général. La documentation jointe à ce splendide coffret, dont le format rappelle bien les coffrets luxueux des disques en vinyle présentant des opéras et leur livret, permet de bénéficier des analyses rigoureuses et éclairantes des plus grands spécialistes du cinéma et présente également tous les détails sur la restauration numérique de chacun des films.

Mais ce n'est pas tout. Plusieurs films sont présentés avec une bande sonore de commentaires qui permet de faire un second visionnement et de mieux saisir le contenu de l'oeuvre. En plus, des entrevues avec des comédiens, des érudits du cinéma répertoire et des documentaires sur l'oeuvre du cinéaste, présentés sur les grands réseaux de télévision européens, nous permettent de bien comprendre le contexte culturel de chaque époque et d'aller à la rencontre des artisans et artisanes du septième art. Avant de prendre une décision d'achat, une visite sur le site de la collection Criterion est recommandée; cette maison d'édition mérite qu'on soutienne son travail de promotion du cinéma répertoire international. Une fois que vous aurez goûté à un film restauré par Criterion, en Bluray, vous aurez envie d'explorer cette collection, autant que vous aurez du plaisir à passer des heures et des heures dans l'oeuvre de Fellini.

Et pour quiconque souffrirait de la barrière des langues, la musicalité de la langue italienne est agréable, d'autant plus que le sous-titrage rédigé dans un anglais impeccable rend le visionnement très agréable. Pour les films que vous aimez le plus, vous finirez par désactiver les sous-titres pour vous plonger corps et âme dans ces films qui vous conduiront du néoréalisme noir et blanc aux plus fantastiques scènes et séquences de l'imaginaire d'un cinéaste qui était prêt à virer Cinecitta sans dessous-dessous pour réaliser des décors qui sont des oeuvres d'art en soi, et posant des défis incroyables aux costumiers, maquilleurs et éclairagiste. N'oublions pas la musique de Nino Rotta qui vous trottera dans la tête.

Bref, un judicieux investissement pour les amoureux et amoureuses du cinéma. Et si vous ne l'êtes pas, vous risquez de le devenir avec ce coffret. Un investissement, mais aussi une aubaine. Profitez-en, faites-vous plaisir.

Great Collection

Criterion have outdone themselves on this collection. It is a must have for any Fellini movie collector. Great documentation and supplemental video material included. This collection is the best presentation of these films that I have ever seen. The only negative issue that I could raise, from my perspective, is that the discs are housed in cardboard sleeves versus an Amaray case or similar plastic-cardboard case like the Criterion "Marseille Trilogy"; notwithstanding this issue, it is easy to rate this outstanding collection with FIVE stars. Highly recommended!

Excellent Fellini Set

Reviewed in Canada on December 2, 2020

Very high quality, beautifully packaged set, with many new 4K scans. Only one disc had slipped out of the sleeve, and it was not moving around in the package as the covers hold everything in place. All of the discs played without any issue whatsoever.

This is a great set, it has beautiful packaging and includes a lot of supplements. It’s a bit of a bummer that it doesn’t include Fellini’s entire filmography but you are still getting 15 essential movies from a master of cinema

Didn't look brand new

The outer container was split in two corners, the disks inside were all scattered around, at risk of serious scratching. The whole boxset looked second hand. The thin Yodel bag it was delivered in, all the way from USA, was torn and not fit to protect the content. Returned started the very same day package was delivered.

El mejor Box Set de todos los tiempos¡¡¡¡

Reviewed in Mexico on December 1, 2020

De los mas de mil titulos que tiene Criterion en su coleccion este box set de Fellini es sin duda el mejor producto que han editado hasta el momento. Las 14 mejores peliculas de Fellini en una misma caja mas dos libros de cientos de paginas y numerosas horas de documentales la convierten en el mejor blu ray del año, si es cierto que faltan Casanova y City of Woman, pero sin duda las peliculas incluidas son las mejores del director. Ademas el precio es excelente me costo cerca de tres mil pesos lo que significa que cada disco costo aproximadamente doscientos pesos, cuando en solitario ediciones Criterion de peliculas como 8 1/2 o Amacord cuestan novecientos pesos y eso sin tomar en cuenta que las versiones del set estan remasterizadas en 4K.
En fin podria pasarme horas alabando el producto pero el punto es este: si eres conefilo y amas a Fellini (o aunque nunca hayas visto sus peliculas) este es el regalo perfecto para esta navidad. Gracias Criterion.

Regione A

Reviewed in Italy on June 13, 2021

Nonostante questa splendida edizione venga venduta su amazon.it senza particolari avvertenze, i film contenuti nel cofanetto sono per la Regione A, vale a dire il codice regionale per l'America. Avrete quindi bisogno di un lettore blu ray americano o multi regione per poterli vedere.
