Black Book 5/5 PQ 5/5 AQ - Blu-ray Forum

I concur. Being dutch myself, a huge Paul Verhoeven fan and ofcourse a blu ray supporter; I really couldn't justify NOT getting this title. Even though I don't care for WW2 movies that much.

Picture Quality and sound were awesome. I love the scene in which they blew the farm house to bits. (this caused quite a fuzz in the netherlands!)

Too bad the relationship between Verhoeven and Rutger Hauer deteriated over the years. It would have been great to see him in the cast as well. (Hauer did an awesome job in Soldaat van Oranje back in the 70s)

So far Sony has done an extraordinary job releasing key foreign language titles on Blu-ray. Every true fan of cinema should run out and support this. (The Lives of Others is incredible!).

Incidently, Robocop and Hollow Man are out soon for the Verhoeven fans. Basic Instinct is already out. And I really hope Lionsgate revists Total Recall, which is a rather poor transfer, with a special edition.

(Oh, and I already imported Starship Troopers from the UK

)

It is beyond incredible. It was basically as if someone put together the scattered bits of my past and put them on film. But...that is another story!!

Can anyone confirm that the UK release is region free?

The website below indicates region free but amazon indicates region B.

I own the movie. Even though the back of the box says Region B, the movie & the special features work on a USA PS3.

A member in another thread pointed me toward the answer.

Happy Birthday, Paul Verhoeven!

Just going through my 101 Films release of this on a US Sony Blu player, and everything works except... the newer "Book of Verhoeven"/Interview feature, which for some reason when I click it, it just recycles the menu.

Anyone else who bought that version have a similar issue?
