can't believe I've never heard of this one...looks like a real treat. Anyone seen it? Trailer looks similar to a argento/depalma type vibe.

It has been difficult to see on DVD. There have been two German DVDs, but these were not English-friendly. A label called Barrel Entertainment was working on a special edition for the US market before they went out of business (in 2006, if I recall).

While I am not expecting the Carlotta release to be English-friendly either, I understand there is limited dialogue in the film, and a Blu-ray release is certainly an unexpected and most welcome surprise.

I own the German DVD and the movie is disturbingly brilliant. I'll have to keep an eye out for the Blu-ray release.

No.

So that's good news I hope !!! When German audio is available.

[Dust Devil]

Anyone who knows if the subs are forced by now ?

Dust Devil,

Carlotta Films do not use forced/imposed subs. None of the discs I have from them have forced subs - and I have basically everything they have released, excluding Jeannot....

The cinematography may be stylish, but it's nothing like the films of either of those directors. Angst is closer to Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Maniac, and Citizen X.
