I saw it a couple of weeks ago and will probably see it again tonight. And I can't wait for the DVD release.

Good to hear that Sony Pictures Classics has this one. I've been impressed by their recent transfers ("Saraband" comes to mind, for one).
On the other hand, I'm deeply disappointed - if not exactly shocked - that the DVD Talk review of Kino's upcoming "Funny Games" confirms our fears: an improperly converted PAL>NTSC port of the (non English subbed) French set. I wonder if Artificial Eye will be releasing PAL ports of the French set (with English subs, naturally) for the early Haneke films? Does anyone know?

Or maybe not... it seems my love for "Tropical Malady" isn't exactly universal!
But if you're looking to see "Tropical Malady" on DVD, don't bother with the R1 release; get the Thai DVD instead ($10.50 shipped anywhere from ethai.com). If you recall, the second half in the Thai jungle has a remarkable sound design. I believe Weerasethakul and his sound guy went on long treks in the jungle to record it. Unfortunately, the R1 reduces the 5.1 mix to a rather mushy 2.0 track. It really makes a difference.
Regarding the early Haneke films, do we think it very likely that the UK releases (from Tartan and someone else?) will be superior to the improperly converted PAL>NTSC ports that Kino will use? (I hope so.)

I'll probably be getting the Artificial Eye release, although I'll have to compare extras first. Definitely one of my favorite films of 2005.

The French edition appears to be available this week - any chance of 'Sous-titres Anglais'?
Also, any word on whether the extras listed will be present on the U.K. version?
DVD 2:
• Le portrait de Michael Haneke réalisé par Jean-Jacques Bernard pour Ciné-Cinéma (60 min)
• L'interview de Michael Haneke par Serge Toubiana, directeur de la cinémathèque française (57 min)
• Le Making Of : les souvenirs de tournage et les interviews de Daniel Auteuil et Juliette Binoche (50 min)
Thanks.
