I have a $50 gift certificate on the Criteron shop so I'm waiting for the next sale there to come around for OUaTiC.

The Last Waltz
More than just one of the greatest concert films ever made, The Last Waltz is an at once ecstatic and elegiac summation of a vital era in American rock music. Invited to capture the farewell performance of the legendary group the Band at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom on Thanksgiving, 1976...

Did you crack this? How have you liked it so far?
Also, do the 4K's come with any additional material over the Blu-rays? Or is it just the presentation?

Watched the first two. There is some extremely good wire action in them, but the story took a while to get into. Knowing Chinese and Hong Kong history around 1900 is kind of necessary. As is knowing about the main character and his place in Chinese lore. I would watch some of the overview special features on the first disc before starting the first one. We didn't and it took a bit to get into (the first one is also a bit long). But it's good action and you really learn a lot culturally about the region.
Pretty sure this is only available on Blu-Ray.

Sounds right up my alley! Thank you for the breakdown.
Sorry I didn't mean to connect the two questions. I was just asking openly, do any of the criterion 4K's have extra content?

All the ones I have the extras are the same. Its just the 4k presentation. I am so excited for this this one getting the 4k treatment.
The Last Waltz
Ohhhhh yeah they should be the same. Maybe just more discs.
The only 4K I have is Citizen Kane (which comes with a blu ray). My guess is that many items will be cross buy for a while (like how they did with DVDs/BRs at the start).

Well throne of blood was very very good, but the included commentary was almost better!! It was very informative and well paced. Highly recommend.

The last Flash Sale was how I got my Bergman Cinema Box. Anyone on the fence, rest assured, it is well worth the money

Went in on:
Bergman cinema
Once upon a time in China
police story

Super stoked.
I'm pretty jealous of y'all 4Kers out there though. Maybe in another 5 years or so.

Grabbed Dont Look Back, Rolling Thunder Revue, and Inside Llewyn Davis because I am nothing if not predictable.
