AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Laserdisc of the film "Ridicule" directed by Patrice Leconte, presented here in its vintage PolyGram Vidéo edition. The front cover displays an iconic photograph from the film, depicting a character in period costume, against a court scene backdrop, with dominant cream colors, adorned with baroque motifs and red accents. The title "Ridicule" is printed large, with the famous quote "Vices are without consequence, ridicule kills!" just below.

The visible jacket features all the characteristic elements of a period edition: LaserDisc logos, HiFi Stereo, French version, mention of the respected cinemascope format, and the PolyGram Vidéo label. A round red label indicates the distinction "4 Césars 1997 Best Film". The director's name Patrice Leconte and the main cast (Fanny Ardant, Charles Berling, Bernard Giraudeau, Judith Godrèche, Jean Rochefort) are also on the front.

The surface of the cover shows a glossy appearance, probably due to a protective plastic film still in place. No major defects or pronounced signs of wear are visible on this side. The whole displays an aesthetic faithful to French Laserdisc editions of the late 20th century, with a graphic layout typical of the era.

The front visual highlights a richly decorated period costume, evoking the historical and satirical atmosphere of the film. The inscriptions and logos are clear and legible, adding a touch of authenticity to this edition. This medium is prized for its large format and the quality of its jackets, characteristic of vintage Laserdiscs.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Cover under protective plastic film, front in very good apparent condition with no notable marks visible in the photo.

Did you know? The Laserdisc, an optical video format launched in the late 1970s, was one of the first formats to offer superior image quality to VHS, but remained a niche product in France. Patrice Leconte's film "Ridicule" won four Césars in 1997, including Best Film, marking the history of French cinema.
