Where we have deluxe, lovingly - restored and mastered
editions of the films Francois Truffaut, Jean - Luc Godard, Eric Rohmer, Alain Resnais, Agnes Varda and Louis Malle from Criterion, few of Chabrol's
classics have received even nominally respectable
treatment on DVD (mostly from Kino and the defunct Home Vision label), many of his greatest films have been relegated to inferior DVD
editions (See my survey of Chabrol on DVD, circa 2009, in this feature on Parallax View) and not a single title has been given the Criterion
treatment.

classic is getting a very complete
treatment from Criterion in this new hi - def
edition.
