Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Live

[death valley]

I ordered the Canadian version on Amazon.ca (since it contains a HD audiotrack and is 1080p, as mentioned on this site) but I received what looks like the USA version from Amazon: front and cover are the same compared to the prints I see on DVDprofiler

Also, the Canadian version should be from Warner, and can't find any Warner logo.....

Can someone confirm the Canadian version (so 1080p and Thai HD master audio )exists ? if so, I'll return my copy to Amazon...

You know, I have not seen this Canadian release, but I highly doubt it Warner Music are distributing this film in Canada.

The Canadian branch of Amazon are the worst when it comes to listing the proper distributor. Just this past week I sent them two messages to correct listings about Mongrel Media products, and they still have not corrected them.

Thanks for info, good to know: I presume the info on here isn't correct ?

It's a shame there's no definitive edition (since UK version is not 1080p)

Just an FYI:

Just because you are buying from amazon.ca doesn't mean that you will be getting a Canadian release.

If for any reason the Canadian release gets delayed, on numerous occasions which I know from experience, amazon.ca has replaced it with it's US release.

oke, but i ordered the Canadian version so Amazon should inform me when they want to send a different version: both the Canadian and the USA version are in stock so why not send the one I ordered

The problem with that assumption is amazon.ca doesn't state which release it is - the info provided under the "Product Details" is sometimes provided from users, not necessarily amazon.ca themselves.

The info there should be correct - because 1080/50i is not supported in North America. However, I assume that what the Canadian Amazon is selling is the U.S. version, which is indeed in 1080p.

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives Blu-ray U.S. REVIEW

Again, I don't have the Canadian release to compare, but I would be shocked if Warner Music are indeed in charge with it.

On a side note, I have the UK and U.S. releases, and with this specific film the difference between the lossy and loseless tracks is practically unrecognizable.
