It's a bit cheaper elsewhere. Deep Discount has it (Backordered atm) for $46. With a little luck, they could have it in stock and have one of their 10% or 15% coupons.

Have you seen Decision to leave? It's excellent and seems available on Amazon and other online stores
Big fan of this one. I’m curious if anyone has any history with Mubi physical releases. I saw on Amazon that it was a “regularly returned product”
wonder if people bought it based on hype and returned it because it's a weird and knotty movie.
Thanks for this. Unless I misread, I had no idea that CC were the first to include director commentaries.
I recently did a comprehensive watch of his filmography, and it’s such a different arc than filmmakers like Hosoda, Miyazaki, etc. He finds his voice pretty quickly but then takes a few movies to really lock in. Only one real stinker in the bunch, imo.
I’m excited to see his other stuff. I’ve only seen Your Name, Weathering With You, and Suzume. For me, Suzume is perfect.
I think his latest movies anre easily his most fully formed. His earlier work is visually lush and emotional but much more serious and often haphazardly plotted.
I love After Hours. Nice hidden gem from the 80s.
Yeah After Hours and The King of Comedy were definitely a change of pace for Scorsese, I think that’s why I like them so much. Don't get me wrong, I like Scorsese, but how many mobster movies can he make?
At that point in his career, he had made 1. Of his 43 feature films, 6 of them are mobster movies. (Not picking on you specifically, this is just a pet peeve of mine).
Good point. Definitely misremembering his films at that point in his career. Perhaps it’s that he was known for his dramatic work when After Hours came out, and not black comedies.
heck, depending on how you want to split hairs (Mean Streets is more about small-time hoods than actual mobsters, Casino is about an associate of organized crime), I'd argue Goodfellas, The Departed, and The Irishman are his only straight-up mob movies.
