Our first look at this DVD edition was quite favorable, with the disc mastered from 35mm materials held by La CinÃĐmathÃĻque française ranging in quality from very-good to excellent.
The film is accompanied by a music score arranged by Rodney Sauer and performed by The Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra.
The edition is accompanied by a 28-page booklet with an essay by Lenny Borger, with notes on the films of the collection.
For information about other films in this collection, see our French Masterworks: Russian ÃĐmigrÃĐs in Paris 1923-1928 on home video page.
We enthusiastically recommend this edition of Jacques Feyderâs Gribiche. Unfortunately, the edition is now out-of-print.
