I think the artwork is based upon the movie poster.
I had the chance to see this in theatres several weeks ago. I will definatley be purchasing this DVD. One of the best Antonioni films.

Interesting. Never heard of it, so I should check it out on DVD.
Where is Maria Schneider's neck?! It looks like a floating head.
The new artwork is much better.
Delayed from the 14th March, to the 25th April...
You should've seen it on the big screen!

Seeing it on the big screen added so much to the film for me, you missed out!

I like the coverart, but haven't seen this one yet.
not a fan of the artwork, doesn't look like any time or effort was spent on designing it.
I figgered I'd wait till DVD on this one despite the fact that the Landmark was playing it.
Finally! This played at a small theatre near my school, maybe will rent this 'cuz it's a Jack movie.
I love Antonioni's work, but I hadn't gotten a chance to see the new print of this film. I'll be buying this, for sure. Nice to see a couple of commentaries, but I wonder how good a job Wim Wenders would do, since he seems to have had almost nothing to do with the film itself. Oh well, we'll see.
Praise the lord!
I saw this film at the Landmark Sunshine Theatre in NY and it was such an admirable and daring film by Michelangelo Antonioni.
Definitely a buy for me and it should be a buy for everyone else as well.
