It was almost exactly a month ago that we told you all about Masters of Cinema‘s upcoming slate of Blu-ray releases, including Fritz Lang‘s M. But at that time, we didn’t have any details to share. Well, here they are! And the disc looks amazing! The special features don’t duplicate Criterion‘s DVD release at all (all new commentary tracks and documentaries!) so hold onto those editions if you’ve got them. Remember, however, that these MOC releases are UK only for the time being, so if you live on the same side of the Atlantic as me, you’ll have to import from Amazon.co.uk or the like, if you want them for yourself. Details below:
