Pro-B

I saw this in theaters. (I was the only one in the theater, that's never happened before) and I really enjoyed it. I haven't checked to see if there is a turkish dvd of it but I will pick up eventually.

Oh great!! Have been waiting to see this... Thanks for the news!!

finally. missed it the week it played in LA. thanks for the info, pro-b.

Pro-B

I really liked Uzak so will catch this. Thanks for the news.

missed the week it played in DC as well...

would love to see this in HiDef, since it was shot with HiDef cameras, but I guess standard DVD will be fine.

English-subbed, 2-disc Turkish DVD is streeting April 6th, and available now for pre-order from Tulumba. Tulumba also has a handful of other new listings (not all with English subs unfortunately). The new one from the director of "G.O.R.A" - "Sinav" - is slated for English subs...and features a guest appearance from Jean-Claude Van Damme! Not so lucky however might be Turkey's 2007 Academy Award submission "Ice Cream, I Scream" as it isn't currently listed to have English subs....too bad.

Tulumba doesn't often times doesn't put the subtitle information in their listings which is a shame, so its always best to verify. Also if you use the "english subtitles" filter it misses half the dvds that does indeed have them.

Tulumba also list SINAV as having Subtitles, yet Ideefixe ( much cheaper btw ) list without english subtitles.

in addition:



Street date: May 28th.

Pro-B

anyone picked up the turkish release? also, how about any of the other newer turkish releases? any reviews, comments or confirmation on english subs?

UK DVD reviewed here

Watched this earlier and thought it was brilliant. I love this type of film anyway but this was a real treat.

She should've eaten that nut

Regarding the UK release, did anyone else notice the colour change (from black to varying level of grey) of the bars on widescreen/letterbox format? I highly doubt the disc is a defect but it is very distracting. Also is it only me who thought the audio was very flat and weak or is it the production quality?

Never noticed much ado about the image. It looked liked HD video sometimes (maybe it is HD) and I reckon they used very few filters as it looked natural. Audio was very very basic and I wasn't expecting anything else.

Can you get a screen grab of the image problem you think is there?

US release review

my understanding of the tech specs of the film was that it wasn't shot on film but with HiDef cameras.

I can guarantee this is a PAL-port although the review does not talk about it. I've reviewed a fair share of Zeitgeist's catalog and that is what they do: PAL-ports. I would stay with UK disc on this one (or experiment with the Turkish one).
