Magnes Knauer is a college dropout, estranged from her difficult father, vacuous mother, and spoiled sister. She’s stationed at an insignificant job at an Army post when she meets Koenig – the Earl King – a grown-up, cynical Peter Pan who can be seen only by children, the unloved and those about to die. He presses Magnes to abandon a doomed world and come with him to a storied afterlife. Koenig agrees to let her stay if she can find a single person that loves her, but if she fails, she promises to go with him and surrender her life.

In this dark, modern retelling of a familiar fairy-tale, can love conquer death? Or will Magnes die at the touch of the Earl King’s hand?

A Treasure of French Cinema at it's finest.
Long awaited and long to be treasured. What a fantastic idea to put these Truffault classics and unique packaging. I've waited decades for something like this and can't wait to start watching and loving all of them.

Better transfer, less content.
Transfer of this BluRay edition of Doinel's box is of course better (however, the difference is not dramatic) than in previous DVD box of the same cycle by Criterion. However, the book included has not even half of the texts from DVD edition. There is also less extra materials at discs. Thus, at some points this BluRay edition is worse than DVD's. I don't understand why Criterion made this box poorer in content than the box in poorer quality of the picture.

Great films, but quite flimsy box set
I would give it 4/5 if Criterion had made it more sturdy. It arrived in a plastic bag and was all beaten up. (Only Amazon could screw up a shipment this badly.) The short film "Les Mistons" has major gamma issues, which takes away one star.

Great transfer of a classic set -- except borked Les mistons
A really nice set of one of French cinema's greatest "franchises" -- though we did not call them that back then. The tone shifts after the 400 blows of course. But it sort of makes sense, too, as things change for the character as well. But beware, Criterion failed to grade the Les mistons short film correctly. Looks a lot like HDR/SDR gamma was switched or something similar. You can see it from the opening studio logo and credits which are not the right color. Hopefully they will issue a fix. Until then you may want to wait.
