Choppy	post #1  on September 27, 2004 - 4:36 PM PDT   Two modern French classics, Jacques Rivette's "Celine and Julie Go Boating" and Alan Tanner's "For Jonah, Who Will Be 25 In The Year 2000" don't seem to be on DVD -- or are they? Does anyone out there share my love for these two wonderful films -- and my incredulity that they aren't available?

Celine and Julie Go Boating is only available on DVD in France (R2) but Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000 isn't available on DVD anywhere! I loved Jonah when it first came out and would love to see it again. > According to the imdb they're only out on VHS. Add them to the DVD MIA thread! Consider it done.

Choppy	post #8  on September 30, 2004 - 3:33 PM PDT   Isn't there some DVD supreme court or something we can appeal to to get these released? Of course, if you haven't seen them, a VHS would do, but...

Feel free to email them with your desire to see it released. If they get enough people asking for it, it'll happen. info@newyorkerfilms.com
