End of the year is literally trying to steal every last penny from us all. I can't seem to recall any other year this stacked with top releases. Maybe I'm just finally getting everything I want... all at once. And I can't afford it.

Got my copy today, but was in a hurry, so please excuse the blurry pictures:



Some nice embossing on the spine, the front, and the back:



Below you can see the slipbox next to the German standard Blu-Ray release:



The colors are a little underwhelming, but I think I know what they were aiming for. I wished it were more like in the preview picture, though.

Still, I'm so glad they did this. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. I never would have imagined it would be getting any kind of premium treatment

- unless my dream company is up and running.

It would be so great if they also did Das Leben der Anderen, i.e.: The Life of Others (which won the Academy Award for best foreign language movie in 2006).

Cheers

Is the booklet half Korean and half English? Or just Korean?

I finally opened this package last night and since @WhiskeyInTheJar's pics are gone, I figured I uploaded a new batch of photos.

Spoiler: Because I love the movie so much, please allow a few words on the movie before I post the pictures:

You know Germany isn't particularly known for the output of its creative industry. Every once and then, however, a truely remarkable film is produced here, too. The release of Good Bye, Lenin! in 2003 was one of those rare occasions. It tells a beautiful story of compassion, yet it's also dealing with loss, not only just on a personal but also on a much larger level. It's set against one of the most important and interesting events in contemporary German (and world) history, but it never fails to keep its focus on the individual experiences people were having when the Berlin Wall crumbled and a state many believed in simply ceased to exist. It stays clear of clichés about the GDR and its people, but it's not sugarcoating the repressiveness and ineffectiveness of the system. The actors do such a fine job, and it's a joy to witness them develop their characters throughout the film. You laugh with them (there's a good portion of humor), but more often you will most likely feel their despair and heartbreak. This is brilliant acting in the first place, but credit must too go out to the wonderful Yann Tiersen who wrote the most beautiful soundtrack. His music supports the movie so amazingly well, yet you can also enjoy it on its own.
The movie holds a very special place in my heart and belongs to my personal all-time favorites.

The Plain Edition is lovely. In fact, I like it even better than the first release. Here're some pics:

The only real let-down is that they didn't change the interior print.
