UGC = part of Universal.


I can't make my mind up about this film. I'm a massive fan of Ozon. He must be the best mainland European director that's working (with Almodovar close). I think so. Sous le sable had an affect on me for many many days.


I'll get this on Ozon's name.

Interesting, the review indicated a different approach. I am yet to buy this disc and also like Daniel am on the fence. I would really want to obtain a copy that has a good amount of extras (possibly subbtitled) as there is plenty in this film that would benefit from commentaries, behind the scenes footage, etc. It seems like Artificial Eye are promoting this film in the UK...or so it seems from their web page....

IMDB states the US limited release begins on the 10th of July - who's the studio that is releasing this?

Bought this yesterday (R2 Belgium/Benelux), and found that the extras (but not the feature!) carry optional English subs - there's a "making of...", interviews with the actors by Ozon, and some lighting tests. Total of these extras runs to about 100 mins.
The feature itself comes with optional Dutch subs or the option of French subs for the (small) English-speaking part of the film.
I thought it was interesting that the extras had English subs esp. as there was no mention of this on the box...

Amazon.de and other German websites indicate English subtitles for Ozon's 5x2 (to be release April 28th).

http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASI...182734-3556024

Can anyone post menu screens that confirms English subtitles.

Actually, it appears that the listing for English subtitles has been removed from the Amazon.de page.

So, are there any English-friendly DVDs of this film, or any word of a R1 release?

Since the film is being released today in the US, I doubt there will be any R1 news for at least a couple of months.

5x2 was released in the UK in March, so there should be R2 news soon.

Do we know what company is releasing the UK DVD? I assume it would be Momentum since they release many of UGC's films on DVD.

I only received the street date. I also think that this would be a Momentum release.

UGC Films via Pathé are doing the UK DVD.

Fox do their distribution of course.


Hopefully there won't be burned in subtitles.

Since Pathe released the French DVD of 5x2, would it be possible that this would be a port of that edition with added subs?

Pathé UK are a very lazy DVD distributor.

Will they port the DTS from the fab Fox Pathé Europa collector French set?

Would you have believed Pink Floyd would get back together?

No and no.
