The Names of Love - disappointing news - Blu-ray Forum

TJS_Blu · 11-02-2011, 05:13 PM

I was surprised and happy when I read that Michel Leclerc's Le nom des gens a.k.a The Names of Love was going to be released on blu by Music Box films in October.

The other day, I noticed that the db was showing 'No Release Date' and checking on the Music Boxes website, noted that the home video page showed a DVD release, but no blu. I wrote to Music Box and they have confirmed that there won't be a US blu, just the DVD. It was a business decision and the sell sheet with the bluray info was sent out in error.

Hopefully, we'll get a Region B release with subs or Music Box will reconsider at a later date.

I tried to get confirmation on the bluray for Raoul Ruiz's Mysteries of Lisbon, which also only shows a DVD release (though they have a bluray jpeg posted), but do not have at this point.

I have written to them too, asking for information on this release. Basically, they've told me the same: the BD has been put on hold, but could eventually be released in the future (if the sales of the DVD are strong enough).

There's always hope there is a region A Canadian release, but I'm not entirely positive on that either. An European release also seems a bit unlikely for a couple of years, since they have not released it that way in France
