2015 collection from the under-appreciated British rock vocalist. Jenny Darren is one of the very few raunchy "rock chick" singers from the UK that could have given Joplin a run for her money. A child star, a recording veteran in a short time and by the late 70's rock had come calling with a vengeance and Jenny Darren was born with a voice and stage presence to die for. The female rock anthem "Heartbreaker" was written specifically for her by the songwriting partnership Gill/Wade but sadly her then record company dragged it's feet on releasing it as a single and Pat Benatar heard the track and then recorded the song which went on to chart in the USA. The tracks on this Best Of were recorded in the 1977 to 1980 period mostly at the famous 10cc Strawberry Studios. Jenny was by then supporting AC/DC on tour as well as performing at all the major festivals (Reading and Knebworth) and supporting Streetwalker and Patti Smith on tour.

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.

What a Fantastic Release on 4k/BD by Criterion!
I have enjoyed my DVD set of these great Truffaut for years, and am so happy to see this 4K set about to be released. Will be ordering this and looking forward to it. There are copious extras, a booklet, and the full set of Doinel films, including Antoine and Colette.
The first film in the series, THE 400 BLOWS, is considered one of the greatest films of French cinema, and of the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave). It's by turns entertaining, funny, thought-provoking, and heartbreaking. That movie and BED AND BOARD, a domestic comedy that is truly funny, are my favorites. But all the movies here are worth seeing and owning. Criterion rocks.
