Steppas Records present Alpha Steppa's 3rd Kingdom (ASCD 006CD/LP) in dub, titled Dub Kingdom! Currently championed by a range of soundsystems and DJs from across the bass music spectrum, from Roots veterans Channel One Soundsystem and the legendary Jah Shaka Soundsystem, to UK steppers pioneers Iration Steppas and dubstep household names such as V.I.V.E.K, Caspa, and Rusko."As the son and nephew of pioneering UK nu roots dub duo Alpha & Omega - bassist Christine Woodbridge and keyboard player John Sprosen - Ben Alpha Steppa grew up surrounded by sound system and dubplate culture, starting in his mother's womb at Channel One and Jah Shaka shows. In his music the competing influences of nature and nurture cannot be separated. He has grown to become one of the most prolific and inventive dub producers around, absorbing worldwide inputs into his productions without dilution of their constituent parts, most notably with his recent Trigram series. On this set collaborating artists are from Russia, Senegal, Nigeria, Jamaica, Suriname and Brazil, but the true test of all reggae/dub productions is when they stand alone in the mix, here with the horn driven march of 'Concrete Meditation'. Alpha Steppa places himself in the same league as Aswad's 'Warrior Charge' and comes out proud." -Steve Barker, Wire Magazine

A Treasure of French Cinema at it's finest.
Long awaited and long to be treasured. What a fantastic idea to put these Truffault classics and unique packaging. I've waited decades for something like this and can't wait to start watching and loving all of them.

Better transfer, less content.
Transfer of this BluRay edition of Doinel's box is of course better (however, the difference is not dramatic) than in previous DVD box of the same cycle by Criterion. However, the book included has not even half of the texts from DVD edition. There is also less extra materials at discs. Thus, at some points this BluRay edition is worse than DVD's. I don't understand why Criterion made this box poorer in content than the box in poorer quality of the picture.

Great films, but quite flimsy box set
I would give it 4/5 if Criterion had made it more sturdy. It arrived in a plastic bag and was all beaten up. (Only Amazon could screw up a shipment this badly.) The short film "Les Mistons" has major gamma issues, which takes away one star.

Great transfer of a classic set -- except borked Les mistons
A really nice set of one of French cinema's greatest "franchises" -- though we did not call them that back then. The tone shifts after the 400 blows of course. But it sort of makes sense, too, as things change for the character as well. But beware, Criterion failed to grade the Les mistons short film correctly. Looks a lot like HDR/SDR gamma was switched or something similar. You can see it from the opening studio logo and credits which are not the right color. Hopefully they will issue a fix. Until then you may want to wait.

Some of Truffaut's greatest works... and they're wonderful
A reviewer here called these a "waste of time" and "weird movies," giving the set 1 star. Sorry, pal, maybe critically acclaimed films by one of France's--or the world's--most important filmmakers isn't your thing. Nothing "weird" about these very accessible, realistic movies about human beings and life. Truffaut did with this series over a course of 20 years what Richard Linklater did in one movie ("Boyhood")... but between 1959 - 1979, Truffaut's attempt was more ambitious, daring, and envelope-pushing. Lead actor Jean-Pierre Leaud goes from a 14 year old to a guy in his 30s, and he's wonderful in every episode. Each film is touching, funny, dramatic, and worth seeing for anyone interested in world cinema. "The 400 Blows" is Truffaut's debut feature, and what a great one it is. It's more serious than the others in this series, and is likely the most lauded. "Antoine & Colette" is a short film made 2-3 years later. "Stolen Kisses" gets more into comedy and it's a delight. "Bed and Board" continues where the previous one left off. "Love on the Run" is decidedly the weakest but is still enjoyable. Truffaut died too young five years after that one was made. One wonders if he and Leaud might have made another entry in the late 80s or even the 90s. Great stuff.
