A&B Sound and In The Mood For Love

[kcxdev]

I've just received shipping confirmation for my copy of ITMFL but I've just noticed theres no mention of Criterion anywhere and I'm getting paranoid. The disc details on the site only says:

Title: IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (DVD)
Category: FOREIG
Distributor: TSC Shannock
Catalog no: MAL022031012
Shipping Weight:
Other Info: Region 1 Coding

DVDBO have the release data as 22 Jan and Amazon and DVD Empire have it as 26 Feb. Is there any other R1 version of ITMFL being released? and is the Canadian version being released earlier than the US one?

I'm not sure if this is correct but

(they are a canadian DVD retailer I found via google) - specs are different and some are wrong (film is not 2.35:1), but cover looks different. The disc looks like a Canadian one as it has a French track. The release date also matches.

I wonder if the reason A&B was so cheap is that it wasn't the Criterion, if it is then it's a shame no-one spotted it before.

One quick test is the price. If it was cheapish then it's unlikely it's Criterion. We've had A&B visit the forum before and they explained that Criterion discs are very expensive for them so they don't generally have them on offer at a good price - unlike mosy of their stock :)

is there any version of itmfl with a chinese 5.1 track? or are they all DD2.0?

I'm gonna blame dvdbo for this cos they had the criterion for the same price as AB but didn't honour it.

The French version says:

DD5.1 - French, Canontese
Dolby Surround - Mandarin, Spanish..

I got it cheap(ish) (€20) from DVD Zone2

According to the thread below, there is a Canadian version of ITMFL released on 22 Jan 2002 - this could the one at A&B Sound.
