ADDITION: Studio Canal - Region 2 - PAL: I've been waiting for more than a decade but am still left wanting a decent English-friendly version of this masterful film that touches me so deeply. It's kind of funny to see the out-of-print Fox Lorber DVD selling for exorbitant auction prices as it is such a horrible quality disc. While the anamorphic Studio Canal is a dramatic visual improvement - as evidenced by the captures below - it is still without English subtitles. The PAL DVD is imperfect - it seems to have a blue-bias but is progressive and the best presently available - digitally speaking. What really excited me was that this was initially listed as a Blu-ray! For now I'll have to subsist with my weak, and largely forgotten, French I learned many years ago - and hope one day soon it will resurface in an English-friendly version.

ON THE FOX LORBER DVD: What a disaster this DVD is. Weak analog transfer from a PAL master - but the big issue and the one I vehemently advice you to avoid it like the plague - is that in the middle of the film - the DVD somehow switches subtitles - meaning they are shown when the opposite person is speaking. Now, I am not a total ogre and understand these things happen, BUT couldn't it have been fixed by now? It's been 5 years! This DVD should have been recalled upon the first complaint of this issue, but instead you can still buy the same flawed DVD - terrible work Fox-Lorber. Nice to see how much pride you take in your product. I give it out of
