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.
