I've recently been turned on to Radiance and this year alone, they have released two releases that I want. The issue is that they're a British company and I'm Canadian. Neither of these releases are exactly time sensitive, so I was wondering if there are regular Radiance sales the same way as something like Criterion. If so, do they include new releases?

Also, I know Radiance recently opened an American store. I tried looking for these things on there and, with the conversion rate and shipping from the US, it would still be cheaper for me to order from the UK. What's the deal with that? I'm mainly here about the first question, but this has me vexed!

EDIT: In case anyone finds out any hot tips, I am looking for the Treasures from the Golestan Studio collection and Simone Barbes or Virtue. The latter is quite cheap and I can get it from the UK for the same price as a Criterion in a store here, but I am dying for the former. I have been wanting a copy of The House is Black in my collection and just assumed it was a pipe dream.

I know 88 Films recently put it out on blu ray but my kingdom for Criterion or another gorgeous boutique label to give it the respect it deserves with a 4K release (complete with a lil booklet, lovely special features, etc) 😭

For maybe the last two weeks on BR, people have posted links to boutique stores that are carrying new releases, and the posts get either deleted, or edited to Amazon links.

I can't post a link to it because the links have been removed but it's happened several times today alone.

I was browsing HMV website when I saw the Blair witch second sight box (the 44.99 edition) was in stock and I could buy it. It’s authorised and in my orders and now it’s saying sold out. Do you think it’s a mistake or was there a small restock of it?
