About a year ago, I surveyed what were then all seven English-friendly DVD releases of the films of Sergo Paradjanov for Sight & Sound - concluding that, in general, the Russian Cinema Council (Russia) and Films Sans Frontières (French) releases were superior to the Kino ones (US).

That opinion is almost certainly out of date, because Kino is just about to release a box set of all four of Paradjanov’s major features, all but one in superior versions. I haven’t seen it myself yet, but if this DVD Beaver review is a reliable guide, it looks as though the playing field now looks like this:

Shadows of our Forgotten Ancestors (Тіні забутих предків, 1964): the Kino (R0 NTSC) and Ruscico (R0 PAL) look to be a notch ahead of Films Sans Frontières (R0 PAL), and in any case have better extras.

The Colour of Pomegranates (Цвет граната, 1968): since Kino has simply reissued its old disc, the position remains that there is no entirely satisfactory version. The Japanese release (Columbia R2 NTSC) offers by far the best picture, but it has no English subtitles and is the shorter Soviet cut supervised by Sergei Yutkevich. Both the Films Sans Frontières (R0 PAL) and Kino (R0 NTSC) discs have flawed source materials, and the Kino is further degraded by excessive windowboxing and overlarge yellow serif subtitles that can’t be removed. On the other hand, it has the best extras, including an hour-long documentary and the short Hagop Hovnatanian (Акоп Овнатанян, 1966)

Legend of the Suram Fortress (ამბავი სურამის ციხისა, 1984): previously, both the Kino (R0 NTSC) and Ruscico (R0 PAL/NTSC) were flawed, in that the Kino had a poor source print and non-removable subtitles while the Ruscico only offered a soundtrack with an obtrusive Russian voiceover. Now that Kino’s new version is based on the superior Ruscico transfer with an additional soundtrack that reconstructs all but four minutes of the original Georgian (sadly, the original master was destroyed in a fire at the Georgian Archives), it must now be a clear first choice.

Ashik Kerib (აშიკი ქერიბი, 1988): The new Kino disc looks like the best bet for NTSC users, though the PAL version of the Ruscico disc from which it’s sourced would remain my first choice, as it’s closer to the original telecine.

Going from private e-mail, last week’s Kieślowski DVD survey seemed to have gone down pretty well - so here’s a similar overview of Jiří Menzel’s output. Unlike the situation with Kieślowski, if you aren’t familiar with the Czech DVD market you could be forgiven for thinking that there’s next to nothing available besides the inevitable Closely Observed/Watched Trains, but in fact most of his major films are out in English-subtitled editions that are at least watchable - even if some leave a bit to be desired on the transfer and presentation front.

So, without further ado:

1965 - The Death of Mr Baltasar (Smrt pana Baltazara, IMDB)

• Included in Facets’ Pearls of the Deep, Region 0 NTSC
• Included in Bontonfilm’s Perličky na dně, Region 0 PAL

  (The Facets DVD is an artefact-ridden disaster with poorly-synchronised and non-removable subtitles. Sadly, though superior in all other respects, the Bontonfilm edition only has Czech hard-of-hearing subtitles. DVD Freak compares the two.)

1966 - Closely Observed/Watched Trains (Ostře sledované vlaky, 89 mins, IMDB)

• Criterion, Region 0 NTSC (Reviews: Digitally Obsessed, DVD Movie Central, DVD Savant, DVD Talk
• Arrow, Region 0 PAL (Review: DVD Times)

1968 - Crime in the Music Hall (Zločin v šantánu, 83 mins, IMDB)

• Centrum českého videa, Region 0 PAL (Czech HOH subtitles only)

1969 - Larks on a String (Skřivánci na niti, 91 mins, IMDB)

1985 - My Sweet Little Village (Vesničko má středisková, 100 mins, IMDB)

• Centrum českého videa, Region 0 PAL (English subtitles)

1989 - The Last of the Good Old Days (Konec starých časů, 93 mins, IMDB)

• Centrum českého videa, Region 0 PAL (Czech HOH subtitles only)

2002 - One Moment (IMDB)

As ever, additions and corrections are most appreciated.

The very welcome arrival of PWA’s DVD survey of Krzysztof Kieślowski documentaries earlier today made me realise that of all Polish filmmakers, his output is probably the best represented on English-friendly DVD.
