36 Quai des Orfèvres (Department 36) (France - Gaumont) info

[kannisto]

I received this one today, it's an ealier film by Olivier Marchal who also directed MR 73 which I liked a lot. This is a good pair for MR 73, comes in a similar cardboard case and the disc specs are quite similar too. Thanks to Gaumont for another region free and English friendly release!

Picked this up today. I posted it in the Blu-ray bargains thread - if anyone has been holding off for a deal on French blu-rays, fnac.com is having a 4 blu-ray for €50 deal.

I picked up 36 Quai des Orfèvres and 7 other titles:

Steelbooks:
Les Aventures de Rabbi Jacob
Les Femmes de l'ombre (Female Agents, a WW2 drama)
Scoop (Woody Allen)
Terminator 2 (Studio Canal)

and others I've been wanting:
Bound
Ne le dis à personne (Tell No One)
La Môme

After VAT removal and expedited shipping, total was €111.80, just under €14 per title.

yeah I never got that this one, but I still want it.
those are some good titles and prices for French bds for sure.
shame I'm broke right now.
I figured I'd get "Female Agents" from the UK.
It's down to like 9 pounds now.

36 QDO is a sensational movie. Daniel Auteuil is simply extraordinary and the film has Depardieu's best performance in years.
I cant recommend it highly enough.
