Re: 48 / BD 46 Hungarian Masters
What exactly makes this box a limited edition? Does it have a limited run?

Re: 48 / BD 46 Hungarian Masters
Bumping this. It doesn't look like it has a limited run (you know like how Arrow or Indicator do a LE of 2000 copies or whatever), it's just called a limited edition because it's a boxset - is that the case?foggy eyes wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 9:04 pmWhat exactly makes this box a limited edition?

Re: 48 / BD 46 Hungarian Masters
I just got my set in, and it's more of a gift box than a boxset, i.e. three regular cases enclosed in a thin cardboard slipcase. It would be pretty straightforward to sell them separately once the limited edition runs out, but perhaps that will depend on how well it sells. I want all three films anyway, and this lets me split them out by director, so I'm happy with my purchase

Re: 48 / BD 46 Hungarian Masters
I also got the set yesterday, was adding BD047, BD048 and BD049 to my catalogue (the numbers on the respective case spines) and then went "I am missing BD046... did I actually forget to buy a Second Run release?!". Well, BD046 is the designation for the set and it's printed on the cardboard case. Took me a minute or two to realize. Second Run Blu-ray collection still complete, phew.

I always loved the way that the Factory Records catalogue was full of things that were physically impossible to collect, like the Haçienda cat (presumably long dead) and indeed the Haçienda itself.

"Second Run's Hungarian Masters does deliver on its title and what the ad copy deems essential works of Hungarian cinema."

Re: 48 / BD 46-49 Hungarian Masters
I felt a bit sorry for Amazon reviewer J.R.P. Wigman - if you've never seen a Miklós Jancsó film before, Agnus Dei is pretty much the last one that I'd recommend for beginners!
For instance, while I can easily counter his complaint about the "gratuitous nudity" at the beginning, it's because I'm familiar with Jancsó's earlier films, so can appreciate the really quite startling contrast between the nudity in previous films - which is invariably in the context of subjugation of women by men - and the early shot in Agnus Dei, where the naked woman then proceeds to put on the uniform of the (then) dominant group. But you obviously wouldn't pick up on something like that if it was your only Jancsó film.

I finally watched Merry-Go-Round to finish off the set today - amazing piece. Scorsese catnip for certain. What I can't fathom though, why the 15 rating on that disc (with no explanation)? I couldn't find it (or Currents) on the BBFC site either. Obviously Agnus Dei is what warranted the rating for the set, but what of this relatively innocent 1955 film?!

It's on the BBFC site as Merry Go Round (without the hyphens). The reasons given are "sexual threat, domestic abuse".ikms wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 7:22 amI finally watched Merry-Go-Round to finish off the set today - amazing piece. Scorsese catnip for certain.

Ah, so there is. There's an advisory note about that scene in the booklet.
