Hey everyone!

While on my drive back from Slovenia, I was listening to a great podcast about Dostoevsky. I have been curious about his work for a while, but I have decided to bump him up my TBR.

While I’m probably not the first person to ask this, my question is: in which language should I read his work? I’m a native Dutch speaker, but I’m also an English teacher, and I’m weirdly enough not really used to reading literature in my native language (although I do want to change that).

I’m curious to hear your thoughts, and maybe some Dutch residents on this subreddit could offer some advice about what they did?

Thanks!

Voor wie het nog niet gelezen had, bij deze nog even het volledige interview met Timmermans. Gezien de ophef wellicht interessant leesvoer!

Hey everyone!

I’m currently in the process of finishing my MA thesis. I’m doing a comparative analysis of the 4K releases from BFI and Criterion, and that means I have to consider and watch everything on those releases.

Because I’m from the Netherlands, I had to order the Criterion 4K to be able to access the menus and such. Sadly enough, it turns out only the disc carrying the movie is region-free, while the disc carrying the bonus features is region-locked. Luckily, the BFI has many of the same extras, and the rest I managed to get my hands on from other channels.

The thing is, for the analysis I also need to analyze the menus to see how those “frame” the film as it were, but I can’t access the menu on the disc with bonus features from the Criterion edition.

Here’s my question: could someone maybe send me a picture of what the menu on Criterion’s second disc looks like? I’m assuming it doesn’t look super different from the menu on disc 1, but I want to be as thorough as possible to improve my comparison and see what information is actually on there.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate it!

Cheers!
