That's very interesting. It's rumoured to be in preparation in the US, but I don't know which version that's going to be.

I suspect the website is showing Region B simply because it's a European release. It probably means nothing regarding whether it will be region-locked or not - we'll only find out once it's actually released.

I don't fancy having to leave the subs on for the Native American dialogue, 'cause I doubt this'll have English subs just for that portion of speech.

Yes but if you have them switched on, do you get English subs even during the English dialogue? The point is that English-speaking viewers will need the English subs during the dialogue in the native American language (Lakota) but *not* during the English dialogue.

[Breiti]

No, there is an option to show only subs for the dialogue of the Lakota

They get their information from press servers of german publishers, but you might be right. The only really reliable source for region coding is www.blurayregioncodes.com

Btw: I just watched the review disc. Picture Quality is awesome and at least worth 4-5 points. Although the codec uses only low bitrates (< 20Mb/s) the picture is quite good. The transfer is clean, features a spot on contrast and only lacks a little detail. Very good transfer, recommendable.

I have this disc too.

The picture quality is indeed very good.

However, I'm a bit sad that they didn't include the (shorter) Director's Cut as well and that there are not a lot of bonus features like on the previously released Special Edition DVD by Kinowelt.

A double-dip might be coming there in the future...

Hi, does anyone know if these two german releases from 2019, have english subtitles for the whole film? Or only for the Native American dialogue? Thank you in advance.

I do not own the theatrical cut but for the blu ray of the extended cut by Winkler Film I can say it has two subtitle tracks in English: whole film or Native American dialogue only.
