I am going to be so angry if there are no subtitles on this release. Please post when you can confirm if subs will be offered.
By the way, Amazon.fr is offering the set for 24,98 Euros, much cheaper than FNAC.

Well, it seems like this title might be another dust-biter. My friend Maurice has confirmed no subs on his screener (though a Luxemburg disc...doubt it, it will be any different than the French one)
...and it looks like a great package too....

I'm not familiar with this film. Does it suck as much as all Ozon's other films do?

I thought this was a notch below Ozon's recent stuff (Swimming Pool, 8 femmes, Under the Sand etc.), so if you didn't like his previous stuff you may well not enjoy this one...

well, it was a few weeks that I din't come to this forum and ... well, I don't want to be unpolite so I'll quote a person who maybe is more authoritative than pro-b or wendersfan
According to Ingmar Bergman - as reported by Jan Aghed in Positif 497/498 - Sous le sable de Francois Ozon ... il s'agit d'un superbe travail, qui l'a impressionné au point qu'il l'a revu plusiers fois.
Furthermore Ozon is regularly in competition at Cannes, Berlin or Venice: he deserves more respect.

But maybe I should at least give Under the Sand another shot.

Interesting...hope it is not a mistake. On a side note Artificial Eye have acquired the rights for this release in the UK as well. So there will be an English friendly release. If the Germans release it with subs though I shall be picking it up together with 1900.
It would be a shame though if they only offer 2.0 mix.

You could read the review at Rama (do you speak French?) and see for yourself. Basically, the dvd will offer the option of viewing the film in a manner that was used for the Memento presentation. Which is...following the story chronologically (I am sure you are familiar with the structure of the film and how the story evolves).
Furthermore, the second version, is rather an experimental take that Ozon worked on.- 4/3 aspect ratio and stereo sound. That's it. As you could see quite different from what is offered in the "original" version for the dvd. In addition there appears to be some extended footage as well not included in the cut specified above (2nd disc with additional extras).
Here's the specific part of the review that addresses the issue....
"Bien que l’on est du mal à en cerner vraiment l’intérêt, François Ozon nous propose de découvrir un nouveau montage de son film, à la Memento, à savoir monté à l’envers et rebaptisé 2x5 pour l’occasion. La lecture de l’histoire en ressort forcément quelque peut différente mais l’intérêt moindre. Le film nous est présenté au format mais en 4/3 et en stéréo. Ce montage comporte quelques scènes supplémentaires que l’on peut découvrir sur le second DVD, sous la rubrique Scènes inédites."
....Voila....hope this clears things out for you....
Ciao,

I have the 2 disc French release. The "version remontée" is in 16/9 and stereo. It's basically the same scenes, just in reverse order.
By the way, ThinkFilm has acquired the distribution rights in the US. 5x2 will be released in theaters in June. I'm not sure who they use to produce their DVD's.
Also, to my knowledge, UGC Films Ltd. is the distributor in the UK. They are listed as the distributor at the British Board of Film Classification website.
