French Cancan (Directors Suite) | = |
French Cancan has been issued in Region 1 in the Unites States as part of a box set entitled Stage & Spectacle: Three Films by Jean Renoir. This box set also includes The Golden Coach which starred Ana Magnani and Elena and her Men which starred Ingrid Bergman. This box-set is packed with extras including introductions by Renoir, Martin Scorsese and Peter Bogdanovich, an interview with designer Max Douy, a three-part interview by Jacques Rivette with Renoir and a superb BBC one hour documentary by David Thompson; Jean Renoir - Hollywood and Beyond. This box-set release also includes essays by Andrew Sarris, Jonathan Rosenbaum and Christopher Faulkner. The Region 1 release is fantastic, replete with extras. If you want to see just French Cancan, which was the most successful of the three films at the box-office, then the Region 4 Directors Suite is a good option also, especially as both releases share the same transfer. |
