This box set presents the UK Blu-ray premiere of his five feature films and several of his short films across five discs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Adieu Philippine (1962), two girls and a young man spend an idyllic few days in Corsica, his upcoming military service in Algeria looming on the horizon. Also abandoning Paris for the seaside, three girlfriends enjoy a languorous late summer break in Near Orouët (1971). A promised Robinson Crusoe experience in the Caribbean turns into something much more chaotic in The Castaways of Turtle Island (1976). Maine-Ocean Express (1986) follows strangers on a wild adventure across the language barrier. In the backstage comedy Fifi Martingale (2001), a superstitious theatre makes catastrophic changes to a successful play. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION BOX SET SPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4K restorations of Near Orouët and Maine-Ocean Express\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2K restorations of Adieu Philippine, The Castaways of Turtle Island, and Fifi Martingale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2K restorations of the short films Blue Jeans (1958, 24 mins), Paparazzi (1963, 22 mins), and Le parti des choses (1963, 11 mins) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncompressed mono PCM audio for each film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew interview with celebrated arthouse distributor Robert Beeson about the reception of the French New Wave in the UK (2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival trailer for Adieu Philippine (1962, 7 mins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with Adieu Philippine star Yveline Céry (2024, 11 mins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with Jean-François Stévenin, assistant director on Near Orouët (2008, 9 mins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with frequent Rozier collaborator, actor Bernard Ménez (2008, 19 mins)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview with The Castaways of Turtle Island star Jacques Villeret (2008, 7 mins) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJacques Rozier: From One Wave to Another - a feature length documentary by Emmanuel Barnault tracing Rozier’s unusual career and his lasting influence, rich in interviews and footage of the director at work; exclusive to this Limited Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly improved English subtitle translation for each film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeves featuring newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition 80-page book featuring new writing by Caitlin Quinlan, plus writing by and interviews with Rozier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore TBC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited Edition of 3000 copies, presented in a rigid box with full-height Scanavo cases and removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RADIANCE","offers":[{"title":"BLU RAY","offer_id":53490894373191,"sku":"TRI-71591","price":89.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/f609fadad5dd2fd121f3aed432a1649c.jpg?v=1773153608","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/jacques-rozier-time-to-play-films-by-jacques-rozier","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
