Title: Wait For A Criterion Release
Review: This is a review of the appalling packaging of Milestone's re-release of "I Am Cuba" only. Of course, the film itself is wonderful, and the new transfer and sound quality are a improvement, but not significantly enough to throw out the original DVD release in order to buy this frustrating package.As another reviewer noted, the three DVD's are encased in wafer-thin snapcases which will not hold the DVD's in place securely. Thus, during shipment, some or all--as has been my experience twice!--will become unattached and the playing surfaces will be very badly scratched. As the eye-catching box is huge, it begs the question as to why regular snapcases weren't used. They would fit.Anyway, if you do not need or want the two bonus DVD's--which are definitely worthwhile features for true "I Am Cuba" enthusiasts--save your money and wait for a Criterion Collection edition. Until then, hang on to your earlier Image/Milestone edition.
