I don't know about the running lengths of different versions of this film, but the French disc is 104 minutes; I have a feeling that is the same as the UK version, but that the German version runs a few minutes longer. Perhaps someone else can confirm this?
As for your second question: the subtitles are burned in. Look at the link below for a screenshot of the languages/audio menu:

However, as far as pro-bassoonist's question is concerned, it effectively adds up to the same thing as he's a non-French speaker and (presumably*) would not be watching the French dub. So I should have said that they *are* removable, but only if you want to watch the French-language version....

Thank's for the info....I actually checked the DVDFR.com beforehand however I did not know that the French subs were forced.
I am unsure about this disc....I like the movie and the French disc looks really nice-anamorpnic, DTS,(perhaps uncut)...however the forced subs are something I did not consider before. Is this a standard practice for all Anglo productions to include forced French subs.
By the way the US BOUND version is non anamorphic and with very, very poor package design, though could be had for as little as 6.99$.

Further to the question about cut or uncut:
If you check the 2 different versions available on http://www.amazon.de you'll see that one version is listed as having a R/T of 104 mins (like the French & UK versions) while the other has a listed time of 108 mins...

...and, as we all know from bitter experience, the information given by amazon does not exactly shine in the 'correct' department...
...fwiw: afaik the French do not ever 'cut' a movie... in worst cases they will simply 'ban' it outright (e.g. "Baise-moi")...
...and still fwiw the 'Alternate versions' site on the IMDb has this to say:
The laserdisc (unrated) version contains a different lesbian love scene that is a few seconds longer than the original. The unrated version runs 109 min.
