Does that mean this release will have forced French subtitles?

Arkadin · 12-01-2009, 12:34 AM

most likely the answer is yes.
and locked.
BAC is very NA unfriendly.

According to this (not that it is 100% accurate) only 1 of their releases is locked and all the others are free. However, they all do have forced French subs.

Edit - also: if you look up BAC, you will see all the ones listed here are free

FYI I believe this has already been released in France but only as part of a Jarmusch blu-ray box set.

Ohh that's frustrating! I love Jim Jarmusch, but most of the DVDs are sorely lacking in the picture quality department. I hope the rest of the world sees these high-def releases soon enough, sans forced subtitles.

Hi, everyone. I've just joined, after checking this thread several times over the past months, and thought I should comment.

I got this BD from Amazon France for just over £10.

I ripped it using MakeMKV (which is easy to use and free), and can confirm that it is possible to remove the forced subtitles when doing this to either play on a media player, or re-burn to Blu-ray Disc.

Happy times for fans of the film.

We have a new French version of this oddly:

Broken Flowers (February 2010) http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B002YNQ3QG
Broken Flowers (January 2012) http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B005P3NRSO

Anyone know anything about the 2nd version? Still forced subtitles?

And I see there's also a German version mentioned here and a version in Taiwan

I highly doubt it is a new version with a new master.
I own the edition from 2010 and I found the master very disapointing: it looks like more an upscaled DVD rather than a Blu-ray...

Does anyone know? Does the new version have better pq?

If I remember correctly, the old release used a 1080/50i transfer. I have not tested this new disc.
