Me, Myself and Her

[McCrutchy]

Lucky Red will release Maria Sole Tognazzi's Io e lei (AKA Me, Myself and Her) (2015) in Italy on 2 February 2016.

A low-res scan of the back cover has gone up at Amazon, and it appears that English and French subtitles will be provided for the main feature. Surprisingly however, it does not state that Italian SDH subtitles will be included.

Italian SDH subtitles are included even though they are not listed on the backcover.

There is an Italian subtitle stream on by default when the film starts normally, but it appears to be completely blank. There also isn't any non-Italian dialogue or text that would require translation in the film, either. Perhaps there was something that needed translation which I did not catch, but I went back and checked several parts of the film and did not find what the very small amount of data the subtitle track is referring to. It could be one word, or, more likely, it could be nothing at all.

Confirmation:

This disc is REGION B LOCKED.

For the record, there are optional English and French subtitles (in white font) for the main feature, and are of good quality, though they seem to compress some of the dialogue in the film.

The extras are all in 1080/50i and in Italian only (or music only) and without any subtitles. There are about twenty minutes worth, including a BTS featurette, deleted footage, bloopers, and the trailer for the film.

The Blu-ray is of very good quality. Some minor banding is present, as well as minor compression artifacts, which are visible in some shadows, but these issues never become a problem. I would think that this film is unlikely to be released on Blu-ray elsewhere, particularly with English subtitles, so interested parties should consider picking this disc up, if you want to see the film.

You are right McCrutchy, the Italian stream is just a single blank field. Probably should have checked that before posting :<
