There are a few clips of it in the 45-minute documentary on the disc. Unfortunately, probably not even a fraction of the full video.

Here you go, I tried as best as I could, sorry in advance for the grammar mistakes, I'm not a native English speaker. There are some words here and there that I couldn't hear properly because of the bad sound quality and the surrounding noises but you will get the general idea.

00:05 : No, no, no.

00:18 : It's out-ra-geous!! It's pathetic to do such things. Watch a woman get raped for 20 minutes...

00:31 : People's reaction? It was very quiet at first, people were sitting and not saying a word, until the moment it became unbearable for some of them. Some people started shouting, from one side and another it started to get heated. It's like a battlefield in there. I don't know how it will end but I hope they have some security guards.

00:55 : It's not even shocking, there's nothing. There's nothing to understand, the camera spins in all directions, there's nothing. There's nothing to say, it's bad.

01:05 : It's pointless. It's not a good movie. It didn't even shock me, anyway we couldn't see anything.

01:13 : I was told to hang on because after 15 minutes it was supposed to be good, so I waited for 15 minutes. But it's poorly shot, it's unpleasant, they just take the piss out of us. If it's meant to provoke, alright, but I'm not masochistic and I don't like it. It makes you nauseous, it's shot like this all along, there's no static shot, it feels worse than being on a boat. It's gloomy, really gloomy. It's not what i want to see in a cinema.

01:45 : - Lady: Horrendous. - Man: Superb, magnificent. I encourage you to watch it.

01:49 : I find it really well directed, there's truly some magical scenes like the subway scene. The actors are extremely good, Vincent, Monica and Albert are astounding. What else can I say? It didn't shock me because the way he made the movie, the way he tells the story backwards, I found that extremely brilliant, clever. It was the second time I saw it, I just wanted to check the audience's reaction.

02:24 : - Man: It's absolutely pathetic. - Lady: Disgusting. - Man: I really wonder why there's any need to make that kind of things, there's so many things in the world that are even more disgusting. - Lady: There's too much violence. It's horrible. They make us watch things we don't want to see. - Man: It's not art. - Lady: It's got nothing to do with art. It's disgusting.

02:43 : I couldn't watch. Honestly, I couldn't watch.

02:51 : He's mentally sick.

02:53 : Let him come to me, he's a turd, you're a turd Noé. Come see me, I'm a director too, we're gonna meet, you'll see.

02:59 : I don't know, people look upset, it's like experiencing a rape for 45 minutes. There's a long take that goes on, and on, and on... She gets ****ed, he beats her up. OK, it's a reality, it exists, but showing that to people so that they understand that rape is a bad thing, it's a kind of manipulation. Now he uses cinema to **** people up, it's the same thing. We get raped, because when we watch a movie we identify with the characters, we come with our emotions and we get it right in the face. But it's not his fault, the distributors and producers are to blame, all those people who turned cinema into what it is today. In the meantime, like Martin Scorsese, there are some people and directors who think about their work, their art, who do something with their lives. Unlike those people who try to mess your head up. It's the reflection of the shitty times we're living, it even infiltrates art.

END OF SCREENING

03:54 : It's disorienting, tragic, sad, and overwhelming at the same time.

That made excellent & amusing reading. A sensitive bunch aren’t they! Top job on the translating for us. Indicator should just put those comments on the back of blu ray!

Thanks so much! *gives many kisses* I'll be sure to post your translation in the comments of the video.

Yeah. I remember watching this with one of my "I'm so desensitized, nothing bothers me anymore" type friends, and hearing similar things before he left the room and told me to turn it off. I wasn't even trying to freak him out, either. He asked me if we could watch "that one backwards movie with the French hottie from the Matrix" because he'd heard about it. I tried to warn him, but he insisted he'd be "just fine"....oh well.

Didn't expect any less. Looks like I'll finally be ordering this along with Road Games.

[baloobas]

This is now available on Amazon to pre-order for those of us outside the UK (at least it is to me in Dublin) and with the value of sterling dropping a bit today, I managed to pick it up for £18.33.

[Freezy]

Ordered. As much as I would have liked to order directly from Indicator, the 6€ fee by DHL for handling the VAT makes it way more attractive to order from Amazon.

[DAT_JB]

But in terms of PQ this is the same as the SC version right?

Same source master, David Mackenzie encode.

[JayVas685]

Expect early deliveries for those that ordered directly from PH (mine already shipped!)

They ship international orders first then U.K. ones, with the bundle orders of all their April slate before single title orders.

So depends how many other pre-orders they have.

Should be sometime this week, but probably towards the end of week.

ah
maybe I should have saved postage and stuck with base.com haha

I remember feeling physically sick after I watched this film back when it came out.

I'm gonna have to buy this.

[thecalm_7]

I’m in the US and ordered this after seeing Indicator’s Instagram post Monday (4/12/21). I’m not in a hurry, please don’t take it as such. How is shipping from the UK to US lately? I don’t think I’ve ordered anything from the UK during the pandemic. Thanks.

Horrid, which is why I pre-ordered it from DiabolikDVD.

I completely forgot about this release somehow. I’ve been enjoying DiabolikDVD lately though.

I haven't had an issues other than with the USPS a few months ago, when they were at peak awful and delaying anything and everything. All the stuff I've ordered from Arrow, Second Sight and Amazon UK/DE during the pandemic made it to the US within 2-3 days of them shipping it out, and then it took about 1-2 weeks to get to me via the USPS. I ordered a few things from rarewavesUK via ebay as well and all of those got to me within 5 business days, though they were singles in bubble envelopes rather than boxes.

If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it. Shipping from the UK seems to be just fine to me, whereas the USPS (once it takes over) is what's causing the hang-ups. In fact, I've had many issues with orders from DiabolikDVD, Shout Factory, Synapse and VinSyn due to the use of USPS Media Mail. Things stuck on "In Transit" for days and sometimes weeks on end without any movement whatsoever, or packages sitting in a USPS warehouse 30 minutes away for a week. Still, I can't say I've had anything lost or damaged so I supposed that's a silver lining.

Same to Germany (ordered at powerhouse).
