(aka "Money" )
France 1983
A forged 500-franc note makes the rounds as it is passed from person to person and shop to shop. It eventually, until it falls into the hands of a genuine innocent who doesn't see it for what it is - which will have devastating consequences on his life, causing him to turn to crime and murder...

Undoubtedly this was a licensed port from the MK2 Boxset edition
reviewed
HERE. It is exact in
every important detail - extras, audio and image, but unlike the MK2
Box you can purchase L'Argent separately and at a financial
savings (menus are in English too!). In regards to the New Yorker (reviewed HERE) the MK2/Artificial Eye has a superior image in many areas especially color (compared below). The biggest attribute included on the New Yorker (and not on the MK2/Artificial Eye) is the addition of the Kent Jones commentary. Kent wrote the BFI Modern Classics paperback on the film (HERE). It is very interesting - he has a lot to say. If you have the Mk2 Boxet, there is no need to pickup the Artificial Eye as it is a duplicate, but the New Yorker has the bonus commentary. If you don't own the MK2 Box then this Artificial Eye DVD is a must buy. Gary Tooze A port from the French Mk2
(reviewed here), the transfer
is superior to Region 1 NTSC New Yorker, having more details, a more balanced
color palette and no boosted contrast. However, the Mk2 /
Artificial Eye image has issues of color banding (see wall in image
#5). -Henrik Sylow |
