I would definitely stick with it, if I were you. I had ordered Werckmeister Harmonies and The Apu Trilogy, at their extra low prices, way back when the sale began, and finally got them early in December. You'll get them, eventually.
I wish the Jean Vigo Collection had gone on sale. If I had to wait a whole half of a year for that to ship, I would still be a happy man.

My End of Summer was just cancelled as well, so I've sent an extremely obnoxious rant to Customer Services. I'll report back if I hear anything.
EDIT: That was quick! Amazon insists that the disc is no longer available and any new orders made for it would not be able to be filled (and they say they'll be updating their website accordingly soon). They have issued a gift certificate for my inconvenience, however, so if you're in the same boat, it's worth making a fuss.

Here's a surprise. I just got a reply from Amazon, and they tell me that my End of Summer is in fact on the way, and is currently in their rather Barbarellaesque-sounding "Fulfilment Centre". Less specific on Dolls, but it's going to come eventually, they say.
...and a few hours later, The End of Summer is in the mail, they say. I'm not gloating here, just mentioning this in case any other EoS purchasers might want to take up the issue, and hopefully get the product that Amazon UK seem to be otherwise backing away from.

After 5 emails, they finally got the situation straightened out. I had ordered both "Regeneration" and "End of Summer" at the discount price and their count-offer was to have one at discount. They finally agreed to both at discount. The question now being, hoe long will I actually have to wait for delivery; I order originally in November and early December.

The color balancing is off -- significantly. this should be a very warm looking film -- emphasizing rich golds. browns, reds and green. This version has a sort of icy blue cast overall. Very disappointing.Matango wrote:Just got my End of Summer in the mail. Plays ok, but that's some sloppy package production...poor quality cover shot and a disc label so blurry it makes me dizzy. If I didn't know better I'd think it was a pirate. Come to think of it, I don't know better...But surely not from Amazon, right?
IVAN'S CHILDHOOD & MIRROR plus much more going for 65% or more off at Amazon now. Also Tartan Bergman's icluding PERSONA & KNOW ALL THESE WOMEN. I held off of MIRROR expecting this to happen [having got STALKER cheap last year] but I ordered it today after a routine search & subsequent shock.
The only obvious question about MIRROR is: Is this old stock [with one audio Russian track] or new [with the restored original audio]? I emailed Amazon and await a reply.

From the Tarkovsky thread:
porquenegar wrote:I picked up Stalker during the recent sale and it included the mono soundtrack even though it wasn't listed on the descriptions blurb. Apparently the initial Artificial Eye discs of didn't include the mono track but do now. I can't tell you for sure but chances are good that you will get the updated disc.King of Kong wrote:I may have already asked this question, but I'm thinking of picking up the Artificial Eye edition of Mirror. Could amazon.co.uk be trusted to send me the newer version with the mono soundtrack?

It looks as if the Greek New Star label will beat AE to the punch, given that they propose to issue all 12 of Angelopoulos's films, in transfers supervised by the director, by the end of March. The first three releases (Travelling Players, Ulysses' Gaze and Weeping Meadow) can be picked up on eBay for about $35, including postage.Daze wrote:I'm dying to see the early Angelopoulos films.

Not to derail this thread from AE, but is there any online retailer that would ship these discs to the US? The ebay seller is charging $46 a piece, plus $5 shipping. At $50 a pop, I think I'd rather wait out the AE releases.spencerw wrote:It looks as if the Greek New Star label will beat AE to the punch, given that they propose to issue all 12 of Angelopoulos's films, in transfers supervised by the director, by the end of March.

Follow this link for the Travelling Players at $35.90, including postage: http://tinyurl.com/cbhuy.
