Re: Chris Marker on DVD
Celebrate the 100th anniversary of Marker's birth with 50% off the Icarus releases of his films using the code Sale goes through the end of the month. I highly recommend The Owl's Legacy and the Medvedkin double feature!

I recommend all of them. Also my guess was Guillaume

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
Well sure, I recommend them all as well, but which ones do you highly recommend?

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
Yes, I have it though it is a BD-R

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
I think it's hit or miss, like their initial runs were pressed but you'll get a DVD-R if those have run out. Also, here is some good discussion of the Owl's Legacy Blu-ray, which is preferable to the DVD if only because it fixes a subtitle issue

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
Is anyone else having a problem purchasing more than one of these DVDs at a time? Every time I add one to my cart, the last one disappears, and going to checkout only allows me to purchase the last one added- However, if I go and add another copy of the one now-missing, it'll show up as me ordering two copies of it. So the site is recording my entries but splitting my carts in two or something

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
I was having a similar problem. I eventually got everything I wanted in the cart at the same time, but the code wouldn't apply to the On Strike! DVD, so I sent an email to ask about it and am waiting to hear back

I noticed that about On Strike last night as well. Just checked and the code is working for it now.

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
Nice, thanks for the tip. I was able to get the cart thing to work by hitting "continue shopping" before searching for each new item. Shipping was...not cheap, but the deal was still worth it

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
I've been trying the "continue shopping" thing from the beginning, and still no luck (I'm just trying to get The Owl's Legacy and A Grin Without a Cat)- honestly it looks like they may be cheaper on Amazon even without super expensive shipping, but I'd like to support the company if they could just fix whatever this error is

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
I got a response from Ian this morning about the On Strike issue, shortly after dadaistnun's post

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
Glad to hear it. Did you get a confirmation email? Because I didn't

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
No, but Ian said the guy who does the billing isn't in today and will be tomorrow so maybe that's why? He also said that he's accessible by email so I'm sure you can reach out with any questions. Very flexible guy and one of my better customer service experiences ever

Has anyone who ordered a Marker dvd received a shipping notice?

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
Nope- I also got the impression that it'd be slow to ship by the flexibility informally offered around the deal's time parameters during my phone call

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
My package arrived today; did not get a shipping notice. Shipped from a fulfillment center in Georgia, btw, not Brooklyn in case anyone is factoring in location to delivery time. (I'm in upstate NY.)

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
My shipment actually arrived on the 7th (to an old address, which is why I didn't know until now). The five titles I ordered all included pressed discs, though Le Joli Mai did not include the advertised booklet

Re: Chris Marker on DVD
Super belated answer, but the 1982 NYFF program notes credit the English voice actors as Catherine Le Couey and Henri Pichette. No idea if it's the same Henri Pichette as the author of Les Épiphanies, though I must say I very much enjoyed his performance and find it more effective than Georges Rouquier's, especially during the Yakutsk sequence. (I couldn't find any evidence that Pichette also did the English narration for Sunday in Peking, though the two voices certainly sound similar!)
