As with other Make My Day titles I've bought this'll have forced subtitles on the English track I assume.

Easily removed from frame on my Panasonic.

I still haven’t checked a few of my French blu rays but which studios usually do forced subtitles?

Fingers crossed this doesn’t have forced subtitles!

I wish somebody would release Larry Clark's The Smell of Us in an English friendly edition. I'd even settle for a DVD.

I will definitely get Bully if the French subtitles can be removed or a optional.

We also need a Blu Ray release of Ken Park.

[sharif.ahmed]

Fingers crossed for removable subtitles

[Nitroes]

Added artwork.

Make My Day have locked all subtitles that I know of.

Release date brought forward to the end of September.

Has anyone bought this release yet?

I've had it pre-ordered from Amazon.fr since September 1st. It has not yet shown in stock and my copy hasn't shipped, so I feared it was delayed. It shows in stock at potemkine.fr though, so I'm just patiently waiting for Amazon to charge my card and ship it out.

If I happen to receive it before anyone else posts, I'll update with pictures and details from the disc. Once shipped, I usually get stuff within two weeks from France.

Region B locked, French subtitles can be toggled off, PQ is decent from a first glance (good master but compression is far from perfect).

[Nitroes]

That's good news on the subtitles.

No idea what Amazon.fr are doing I can't even order it (OK for non-UK addresses) and there's no sign of stock even if I choose my US address.

Ordered from FNAC https://www.fnac.com/a18319441/Bully...Renfro-Blu-ray they also say they have stock of Sleuth next week so worked out cheaper I think delivered with both.

[Aunt Peg]

Just ordered my copy (along with Malle's A Very Private Affair & 2 Maurice Pialat films) from FNAC.

[sharif.ahmed]

Also bit the bullet and bought mine from Potemkin.fr

[j00na5]

My copy that I pre-ordered from Amazon.fr on September 19th was charged on my card and shipped today.

My order was placed on September 1st and my card still hasn't been charged. This gives me hope that my card will be charged and my copy will ship out soon.

[Nitroes]

My FNAC order has shipped too.

[Nitroes]

Got mine. Transfer looks great just having a quick flick through.

Blu-ray wouldn't load on my Sony UBP-X800M2 but fine on other players.

DVD's French subtitles are forced but can be removed on the Blu-ray on the fly (when the film is playing). Great news.

[sharif.ahmed]

Received my copy today and picture and audio quality is amazing, like watching it for the first time. French subs can be switched off during play ����

[Big_White]

I'm late to the party but I finally received my copy from Amazon.fr today. Region B locked. However, the top menu trick works with my Panasonic UB820 to bypass the region coding.

[Show spoiler]

[Aunt Peg]

Got my copy yesterday. Haven't seen it since it was first released in cinemas.

The film holds up very well - the transfer is gorgeous. Happen to also watch Kids (the recently released Australian disc). Didn't find the film as I did 25 years ago - now its a bit of a curio.

Hopefully more Larry Clark will find its way to Blu Ray. We really need an English friendly release of The Smell of Us.
