A really interesting looking French language sci-fi flick. It's on Blu overseas, but I'm getting conflicting info on the fabulous inter-web. Does anyone know for sure if it's all region or region B?

[b-coli]

i am going to see this in a couple weeks here at the seattle international film festival. the trailer looks like it will be interesting. where did you see it on blu?

[b-coli]

According to the Hi-Def Release List, this is ABC... can anyone confirm that?

[gaeljet]

the french blu rays are rarely region coded(except those from studios like fox for instance that have the same dumbass policy everywhere) , i actualy got this blu ray i even bought it the firs day it was released last month since the trailer seemed so great, at the end i was more or less disapointed,there are 3 bad stuff about this movie and 2 very good stuff,
the bad ones:
(1)story(plot etc) not great,(2) some moment strane, for instance the main character is running for several sec after the bad guy but he s just behind him and never catch him, even worse a terrible mistake by a cop woman that you just can t trust it would actually happen(don t want to say too much) apparently just created to make the story the way the director wanted. ( in the fight the characters dont not to say can t obviously lift their legs to kick the other, which is sad since otherwise) good ones(1)the fight scenes are very good, energic and realistic.. all that is shot is very stylized , it s very beautiful to watch it..

watch it but don t hope too much, it is above all things a stylized movie about identity with good visual and fight sewuences but also weak story and some strange moments( the mistake and other weird thing that happn or don t happen..)

perhaps flower..

I tried to watch this a couple of nights ago, just released on UK dvd. While the plot was okay, the fight scenes did nothing for me as I wasn't convinced by the actors. The main character looks like someone's dad who strolled onto set and somehow ended up onscreen, I wasn't convinced by his supposed toughness whatsoever.

So is it confirmed that the blu-ray version on amazon.fr is region free?

while we're at it...there are english subtitles right? If i'm going to consider spending ~ $50 usd I want to be positive.

thanks in advance!

I saw this tonight at the seattle int'l film festival. The plot wasn't out of this word but i liked the visuals and the noir-style...

i can confirm the working english subtitles on my disc, but i can't reliably check if it's region free.

[mr.vengeance]

Thanks for the subtitle confirmation!
what region are you in?...i would be using a US blu-ray player (ps3)

[Blaumann]

I'm in Germany, region B.

I am using a (region free) htpc for playback and i have found the information it gives about regions to be unreliable.

[mr.vengeance]

took me a while to follow up...but if anyone else is still interested.

I picked up the french blu-ray off of ebay a few weeks ago and it does seem to be region free (works fine using my US PS3) and as someone else said, there are english subtitles.

Likewise. For a second there, I thought it might be a movie adaptation of the classic John Wyndham Sci-fi novel "The Chrysalids".

It Is Region Free

[alexakajeff]

Since we are on the topic of French movies being region free, does anybody know if Frontieré(s) is coming out anytime region free.
