what is it with French studios and lack of English subtitles. This is a brilliant film about "wit". I hope it gets English subs.

Territorial limitations (especially in regard to English-speaking markets).

The thing is we could be waiting years for it here. So much for free trade in the EU.

Unfortunately, I fully agree with you. Miramax owns the rights in the US by the way.

A poor country aristocrat Ponceludon de Malavoy goes to the court of Versailles in 18th century France to obtain royal patronage for a much-needed draining project. He soon discovers that to secure an audience with the king he must first cultivate the sophisticated court wit, and he is assisted to this end by the Marquis de Bellegard. Unfortunately, the young lord allows himself to be seduced by the irresistible Madame de Blayac, who is none too pleased when she find out that Malavoy is amorously entangled with the free-spirited daughter of Bellegard. Spurned, Madame de Blayac resolves to make a laughing stock of Malavoy.

Ridicule in the UK on DVD is with label Second Sight, who so far have made no moves towards BD. They're represented by a different distributor than the one I work for, but I will still dig around and see if anyone I know knows anything about whether, if they move to BD, will they take advantage of the French master for Ridicule.

If they one day bring Le Parfum D'Yvonne to BD it would be fantastic.

Just to add another one of my favourites from The same director is The Hairdressers Husband a cracking film that deserves to be seen

I wish to goodness that Monsieur Hire would make it out as well. Close behind that would be La Veuve De St Pierre for me.
