Fire Study
In the sensational sequel to "Poison Study" and "Magic Study", Yelena's apprenticeship is over - now her real test has begun. When word that Yelena is a Soulfinder - able to capture and release souls - spreads like wildfire, people grow uneasy. Already Yelena's unusual abilities and past have set her apart. As the Council debates Yelena's fate, she receives a disturbing message: a plot is rising against her homeland, led by a murderous sorcerer she has defeated before. Honour sets Yelena on a path that will test the limits of her skills, and the hope of reuniting with her beloved spurs her onward. Her journey is fraught with allies, enemies, lovers and would-be assassins, each of questionable loyalty. Yelena will have but one chance to prove herself - and save the land she holds dear.

Poison Study
Choose: A quick death...or a slow poison...About to be executed for murder, Yelena is offered an extraordinary reprieve. She'll eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace - and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia. And so Yelena chooses to become a food taster. But the chief of security, leaving nothing to chance, deliberately feeds her Butterfly's Dust - and only by appearing for her daily antidote will she delay an agonising death from the poison. As Yelena tries to escape her new dilemma, disasters keep mounting. Rebels plot to seize Ixia and Yelena develops magical powers she can't control. Her life is threatened again and choices must be made. But this time the outcomes aren't so clear...

Magic Study
Completing her apprenticeship could prove deadly...With an execution order on her head, Yelena has no choice but to escape to Sitia, the land of her birth. With only a year to master her magic - or face death - Yelena must begin her apprenticeship and travels to the Four Towers of the Magician's Keep.But nothing in Sitia is familiar. Not the family to whom she is a stranger. Not the unsettling new facets of her magic. Nor the brother who resents her return. As she struggles to understand where she belongs and how to control her rare powers, a rogue magician emerges - and Yelena catches his eye.Suddenly she is embroiled in battle of good against evil. And once again it will be her magical abilities that will either save her life...or be her downfall.

Shadow Study
When Yelena was a poison taster, her life was simpler. She survived to become a vital part of the balance of power between rival countries Ixia and Sitia.Now she uses her magic to keep the peace in both landsand protect her relationship with Valek.Suddenly, though, dissent is rising. And Valek’s joband his lifeare in danger.As Yelena tries to uncover her enemies, she faces a new challenge: her magic is blocked.And now she

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.

Some of Truffaut's greatest works... and they're wonderful
A reviewer here called these a "waste of time" and "weird movies," giving the set 1 star. Sorry, pal, maybe critically acclaimed films by one of France's--or the world's--most important filmmakers isn't your thing. Nothing "weird" about these very accessible, realistic movies about human beings and life. Truffaut did with this series over a course of 20 years what Richard Linklater did in one movie ("Boyhood")... but between 1959 - 1979, Truffaut's attempt was more ambitious, daring, and envelope-pushing. Lead actor Jean-Pierre Leaud goes from a 14 year old to a guy in his 30s, and he's wonderful in every episode. Each film is touching, funny, dramatic, and worth seeing for anyone interested in world cinema. "The 400 Blows" is Truffaut's debut feature, and what a great one it is. It's more serious than the others in this series, and is likely the most lauded. "Antoine & Colette" is a short film made 2-3 years later. "Stolen Kisses" gets more into comedy and it's a delight. "Bed and Board" continues where the previous one left off. "Love on the Run" is decidedly the weakest but is still enjoyable. Truffaut died too young five years after that one was made. One wonders if he and Leaud might have made another entry in the late 80s or even the 90s. Great stuff.

What a Fantastic Release on 4k/BD by Criterion!
I have enjoyed my DVD set of these great Truffaut for years, and am so happy to see this 4K set about to be released. Will be ordering this and looking forward to it. There are copious extras, a booklet, and the full set of Doinel films, including Antoine and Colette. The first film in the series, THE 400 BLOWS, is considered one of the greatest films of French cinema, and of the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave). It's by turns entertaining, funny, thought-provoking, and heartbreaking. That movie and BED AND BOARD, a domestic comedy that is truly funny, are my favorites. But all the movies here are worth seeing and owning. Criterion rocks.
