It looks like they're releasing them in order Tarkovsky made them, starting with Ivan's Childhood, and hopefully each subsequent film two weeks after the last (if all goes to plan). That should mean two more in July, August and September, and hopefully they'll have the box set sorted before the end of the year.



I wouldn't go by Amazon listings as they often get the dates wrong or forget to update them.

Is there a reliable source for release dates? I could not find them in AE / Curzon's web-site. Is there a reliable source for release dates? I could not find them in AE / Curzon's web-site.

Blu-ray.com seem to be getting the most reliable info first-hand. They have been starting to confirm release dates and specs one-by-one, starting with Ivan's Childhood on June 27th and Andrei Rublev on July 11th.This leads me to believe they're releasing them two weeks apart, so if all goes to plan the rest of the release calendar should now look like this:Solaris - July 25thMirror - August 8thStalker - August 22ndNostalgia - September 5thThe Sacrifice - September 19thThe Andrei Tarkovsky Collection (Box Set) - TBC 2016 (October/November?)Of course, there could be some specific issues with each of the remaining five titles which could set the date(s) back a bit, but I think it's safe to say we'll have them all by October. Hopefully the transfers are decent enough to warrant waiting for the box set to arrive, as I'd like to get it before Christmas (when I'll likely have time to watch them all!). If not, I'd probably just wait 'til early 2017 when they'd presumably drop in price (as all AE releases tend to).
