This is maybe one of my all-time favorite films that's been out of print for years, so much so that I whined about it in the "not on DVD" thread. Watching this in probably '99/'00 was one of those films, along with Boogie Nights, L.A. Confidential, and Rushmore, that made me take movies seriously. I'm a big Whit Stillman fan and he's been a major influence on me as a writer. I was hoping for a decent release someday, but a Criterion's so much better. The DVD even has Stillman reading from the "novelization" that he wrote as a companion piece a couple of years after the movie*. I wish that they'd included a reprint of that with the package, too, but hey, I'll take what I can get.
Usually when stuff like this comes out, I'm like "fucking finally." There is not a big enough font size to describe my feelings of "fucking finally" right now.
*The box art is drawn from the cover of the book, done by the same guy who did the Metropolitan cover.
