The Stranger | Official Trailer | Netflix - YouTube

Looks like something I'm going to like. Fab cast too.

There's seems to have been a release in the Netherlands too last year and the France release lists Dutch for subtitles so I'm assuming they're the same disc.

OHHHH MYYYYYY GOOOODDDD!!!!

One of my all time favourite films and I’ve been praying this would get a physical release.

Outstanding is an understatement when it comes to describing this film.

Time to order.

Absolutely brilliant film that I thought was forever trapped by Netflix. Never thought this would see a blu ray release, but am ecstatic to be proven wrong!!

Well guys, you've made me buy the Dutch release. I can't say no to the cast either.

On the subject of missing Australian films we need Limbo (Ivan Sen) on Blu-ray a crime it's not had the attention.

I really liked this film. Dealt with a fascinating case and showed law enforcement in a different light (much like The Wire or something like that, though this had more of a dark thriller energy to it due to the undercover angle). I would love to own it, might have to import either release since I doubt Criterion will pick this one up.

D'oh I have seen this! Must have been in the depths of COVID as I was awash with film watching. Never watch trailers until I've seen the film so I was just going on the IMDb description and cast. Minute I seen the pictures on the back of the case it looked familiar.

Yes, an excellent watch.

Good news is disc is A + B (can't test further) and the subtitles aren't forced. Main menu offers Netherlands or France so it's likely the new release is the same disc.

My French release via Amazon France got cancelled this morning.

Weird.

I’ve ordered the release from Amazon Netherlands.

I see it says "Usually dispatched within 6 to 7 months" the last year -for me in the UK- that has meant you're never going to see it. I've had to cancel several orders and give my business to someone else.

Price is now £7.99 at Rarewaves for those who can use them https://www.rarewaves.com/products/9...7-the-stranger

I would guess it's not had a France release and the version out there was meant for the Netherlands/Belgium market and it's leaked into the Amazon.fr inventory.

There's a Netherlands seller on Amazon.fr selling it too https://www.amazon.fr/dp/9493316025/ maybe they post further afield. Rarewaves also still have it on their eBay store and post to many places (not USA/Australia) for £10.48 (code: JINGLE15 gets 15% off) + shipping https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/356074725608
