| very late posting but i wanted to share since i made my very public plea the other day. so late last night, after reading review after review after review, i decided i'd order Criterion's three-disc set of Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage. i did it. hopefully i'll get the wonderful set before the weekend (hopefully. but it would be close. i can't remember how long it took for my last dvd pacific order to get here). but another contender had also risen. and i read and i read. i knew i'd have to get the set because it was too important a release not to get it for myself. of course i'm talking about today's big new release -- Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers, another massive three-disc set from Criterion, but this one has more in-depth special features than the Bergman piece (granted, the Scenes special feature is the two-and-a-half hour theatrical cut of the series). plus, it has a 56-page booklet! that sold it to me. so that's it. i'm set now. (dvd pacific was easily getting addictive :) good night.
