Granted, the packaging is kind of flimsy and the disc holders are unusual, but overall the content is what's really important; the transfers are beautiful, the sound is great, and the subtitles are poetic. I own the Shout Factory set as well, and the BFI blows it away in terms of picture quality. The only reason to get the Shout set is for the films not included with this release. Bottom Line, 6 stars for the content and it's quality, 2 stars for the packaging. Review: Astounding - What can i say about this amazing collection that has not already been said. Arrived in mint condition. If your a fan of Herzog's films then this is a must buy.

No Signs of life and Even Dwarfs Started Small
great set but some unforgivable omissions not including Sign of Life and Even Dwarfs Started Small leaves a big gap in a great set .

One out of the box!
As a long time follower of Herzog this is pure manna from heaven. Beautifully packaged by BFI it is surely a welcome collectors item, and a bargain to boot!

A great set - worth the price - bargain!
Bargain for whats included - I had only seen "Fittzcarraldo" prior to purchase so it has been an adventure. Great transfers and extras. Some films left me cold (Nosferatu/Heart of Glass) while others are genuine masterpieces (Stroczek) - recommended.

like book flaps
Whats all this fuss about the enclosure…..like book flaps, are meant as a placement for the booklet. I suspect BFI will one day redesign the insert cover and make space for the booklet. BRAVO BFI!

Excellent selection of the films of an important director with a social conscience

I own four of Herzog's films in the Studiocanal/Arthouse releases. All of them are technically disappointing and outdated, often with excessive noise reduction, especially the wonderful "Nosferatu". But I bought the box for the films mainly, not expecting much technically. I first checked Nosferatu: Incredible, totally new imagery, grain for grain, and wonderful colour grading. I would have happily paid the price of the box for this film alone. "Aguirre" next - clearly improved imagery, although the old version was already much better than Nosferatu. I checked the booklet and the companies stated therein responsible for the "presentations". All high end and very obviously masters of their craft. Upshot: ALL the films presented here in 2K scans by Alpha Omega Digital from the best source materials available, graded at Deluxe Soho. Criterion could not have done better. But BFI could have done much better in the marketing on Amazon. Now, exciting times ahead watching alltime favorites and discovering new ones by one of the most interesting and prolific filmmaker in the history of cinema. Cancel your Netflix subscription for the next four months and get and watch this instead.

I now know how to haul a paddlesteamer over a hill in the Amazon in order to make money so that I can put an opera on for the locals. I will update my review after the performance.
