AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Laserdisc of the film "Pédale Douce", an emblematic French comedy directed by Gabriel Aghion. The jacket features a color photograph of the main cast, with actors Patrick Timsit, Fanny Ardant, Michèle Laroque, Richard Berry, and Jacques Gamblin, all in dark suits on a white background. The title "PÉDALE DOUCE" appears in large red letters at the bottom, accompanied by the slogan "Méfiez-vous des apparences!" (Beware of appearances!). The overall visual style is typical of 1990s French productions, with clean graphics and a character-centered layout.

The "LaserDisc" logo is clearly visible in the upper right corner of the sleeve, confirming that it is an original edition for this large-format video medium. The visible side shows only one sleeve, with no indication of a double disc. The jacket image is sharp, the colors are well preserved, and the whole thing appears to be still under plastic wrap, suggesting good preservation of the outer sleeve. No major defects are noticeable on the visible surface (no scratches, creases, or significant discoloration).

The inscriptions are perfectly legible, especially the credits at the top and bottom of the jacket, which mention the main actors, director, and screenwriter. The overall style conforms to the standards of late 20th-century Laserdiscs, with quality printing and a meticulous presentation characteristic of this format intended for a demanding cinephile audience.

The photograph highlights the jacket against a background of an old library, without affecting the object itself. Only the front of the sleeve is visible in the image; no details of the back or any internal booklets can be confirmed. The object is distinguished by its typical square Laserdisc format, which offers a visual rendering similar to a miniature film poster.

This Laserdisc is a vintage collectible video medium for French cinema enthusiasts and retro audiovisual formats. It is a representative piece of pre-DVD film media, now appreciated for its decorative aspect and the quality of its visuals.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows a jacket in very good apparent condition, under plastic wrap. No major defects are observable on the exposed part.
