BDInfo scan:

The main feature comes with optional French SDH and English subtitles. The former are in the usual multi-color font, while the latter are in a standard, slightly small white font. The disc offers both 5.1 and 2.0 audio tracks, but on my system, it will default to the 2.0 track. The DTS 2.0 audio is French audio description.

Extras include interviews with Charlène Favier, actress Noée Abita and actor Jérémie Renier, as well as Favier's short film Odol Gorri (2018), which also stars Abita. All extras are in French with no subtitles, and in 1080/50i.

Thanks so much for reporting this title. I've been eager to see it for sometime now and found a copy on eBay for sale.

Anyone buy the region B Polish version? It has English subs.

I saw that was coming last year, actually, before the French disc, but then during my research, I learned that Makefly have a habit of using DTS 5.1 (1509 kbps) audio tracks. Their BD for Slalom also uses the MPEG-2 codec. That, plus the lack of extras and difficulty importing relative to the French disc, made it an easy call for me:

I'd be surprised if the Polish disc was better in any way.

I will soon find out, I ordered it.

It was easier to get from Amazon.U.K.

Thanks for the link and your reply.

No problem, good luck.

I noticed a listing on Amazon when I searched it up, but £9.99 delivery sounds ludicrous.

Darrabban · 10-20-2022, 05:01 PM

Can someone confirm that French edition has English subtitles? Because amazon.fr lists only french subtitles... don't wanna import if it's unwatchable for me.

Thanks!

The film definitely has English subtitles, yes.

besides "Slalom" and "Les Passagers de la nuit" - which were released in France on blu-ray, there are been several great movies with Noée Abita :

- Ava (a gorgeous WEB 1080 transfer is available though but no blu-ray)
- Mes Jours de Gloire (funny comedy with V.Lacoste, wonder why it never came out on blu-ray in France)
- Première Affaire : last movie with Noée Abita with a lead role; at the same time Alice Isaaz did a mini TV series were she played a counselor.

all got a WEB/VOD release in France but no blu-ray and I regularly check at amazon.es, it, de and not luck so far...
If someone find these movies released above on blu-ray somewhere in Europe that would be great.
