Author Topic: Where is Les Tripletts De Bellville Showing?? Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 11-29-2003 06:50 PM                    Are you sure it was matted down to 1.85?  |  IP: Logged Ron Keillor Expert Film Handler Posts: 166 From: Vancouver, B.C. Canada Registered: Jul 2003 posted 11-29-2003 08:54 PM                     The DVD comes out in France on Jan.14, 2004 (probably no subtitles). 1- and 2-disc editions, zone 2 so you might need an all-zone player.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 11-30-2003 01:49 PM                     I went to see 'Russian Ark' at the Phoenix, East Finchley, this afternoon, and they ran a trailer for something called 'Belleville Rendez-Vous', which is being shown next Sunday for a single matinee screening, and then returns from 26th December for one week. Is this the same film, distributed under a different title over here? It looked interesting, if I don't have to work next Sunday I may go to see it, unless I can find somewhere nearer that's running it. How well did it do over there?  |  IP: Logged John T.

Only four reels and every one was the same. I inspected every one. At least there was no problem with the changeover cues!  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 12-09-2003 06:37 PM                     Sony Pictures Classics has anglicized the title to The Triplets of Belleville for the US release. Betsie: Washington DC won't get The Triplets of Belleville until January. Same with Philadelphia and maybe the NYC suburbs. Too much product out there, mainstream and arthouse. This year SPC is pulling a Miramax -- flooding November and December with lots of "Oscar Bait".  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 12-09-2003 06:44 PM                    Thanks, John. There must be different types of prints. If I screen it again I'll be sure to double check to see if it's hard matted just to 1.66 as before or down to 1.85.  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 12-22-2003 04:19 PM                     The Triplets of Belleville expands to New Jersey on Boxing Day. The Clairidge Cinema in Montclair and Montgomery Cinema in Rocky Hill are booked for that film per the stack ad in yesterday's Newark Star-Ledger.  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-29-2003 02:16 PM                        We originally ran the film back in November to good houses and are bringing it back for 4 days in late January. However, as already mentioned in another thread, the BBC have played this very recent release twice over the holiday period both on BBC2 and ,I think,BBC3 so don't know how many punters we'll get this time round. And yes our print was 1.66:1  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-29-2003 02:56 PM                        As I mentioned in the Feature Info. forum, my print was matted to 1.66. We are running it in that format and it looks good. I think that 1.85 would probably be too "crowded."  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 04-15-2004 11:38 AM                     quote: Format seemed to be a bit ambiguous so I went with 1.66 and it looked great although it may well be compatible with 1.85 too. quote: Marked as 1.66 in the print supplementary leaflet. quote: Are you sure it was matted down to 1.85? quote: Yes, it was matted to 1.85. Only four reels and every one was the same. I just got a copy of the DVD (Region 1), and it appears Columbia TriStar has elected to present the film in a 1.78:1 ratio.  |  IP: Logged
