Haven't watched the discs yet, but the packaging is superb. Very attractive design utilising images from the film. Comes in a sturdy case encompassing the discs, a handsome booklet featuring several essays and excerpts from interviews, as well as a fat booklet reproducing the original screenplay, as well as J. S. Le Fanu's "Carmilla," on which the story was marginally based. As a long time fan of Dreyer and of "Vampyr" (I purchased my first VHS copy in 1981-2 from a private collector who advertised in "Starlog" magazine) and one who has collected half a dozen different copies, I am thrilled to own what is perhaps the definitive version (and package) for this film).

Wouldn't mind giving it another shot, but am not willing to dump the $ on it right now, if ever. Shall see if the Chicago library system gets a copy in circ soon. Ben

I consider MOC to be the Criterion (for quality) of the UK so I'm waiting for DVDBeaver to do some comparisons before I choose. The waiting is killing me though.

I much prefer the MOC disc of ONIBABA over the Criterion one. Also, I feel the same way about the two KWAIDAN discs matched up against each other. Last Edited By: KlimovskyKat 07/25/08 13:00:01.

The film itself is about 20-25 minutes longer than the Criterion and comes with a fat booklet containing the original Lafcadio Hearn stories on which the film is based. It's an essential purchase, IMO. But to be fair to Criterion, their disc came out when the longer cut was evidentally not available. And Criterion has produced many wonderful sets. MoC raised the bar a little higher, and I think that Criterion has met the challenge by raising their own already high standards in recent years.

Both are cut, unfortunately, but the DD edition is more complete. The Criterion is full screen and the DD is widescreen.

Except the Criterion dvd is full screen because it isn't cropped -- the DD is cropped for widescreen. If you play the Criterion ed with VLC Player on your pc, you can crop it down. Ben

The Moc has a bit more info, but the C has been cleaned of specks and scrapes.
