We will have a review later tonight (for some people in Europe, early morning).

The disc is Region-B "locked" and the English subtitles are imposed.

Pro-B

Looking forward to reading it, Pro-B! I ordered this a few days ago, and should have it next week or so.

Thanks for the heads up!

I haven't watched any trailers, and I will hold off on reading your review until after I watch it then.

Happy New Year, Pro-B!

pro-bassoonist · 12-30-2011, 11:34 PM

Happy New Year to you and the wife

This is good advice. I went to YouTube to watch the trailer and there was a major spoiler on the first page of comments.

for those who are interested in the French (Pathé) Blu-Ray release :

1080p24 (I was afraid of a 1080i since everything in France (almost) part en couille...
French subtitles are forced (not burnt-in of course so a rip could...well...you know)

Happy New Year to everybody !!! all my best wishes

The UK release is nigh on perfect, and in 1080p. Not sure why RP posted about the French disc, especially considering the film is Spanish.

sorry, perhaps I was not in the right topic.
The thing is : for those who wanted this movie as quick as possible (since the US BR is not released so far and will be probably locked in Region A) I wanted to give you info about the French release. Because, if yes- picture quality is amazing (bonus are excellent - I didn't check it vs the UK release to see which one is more complet) and the transfer is 1080p like the UK release, (which tends to be rare these days in France) the French subtitles are forced - so for those who were wondering "which one should I choose between the UK and the French release", don't hesitate, go for the UK release.
Because, even if French is my mother tongue (as you probably already guess with my great English

) forced subtitles are a shame.
If I was sure that the BR UK had removable English subtitles, I would have go for the UK release. (my Spanish is ok enough to enjoy the Spanish BR as Atame! (Victoria Abril help

s) or Hable Con Ella (Talk To Her)...

Could you please confirm that the UK BR has not forced subtitles ?

I think it was confirmed a few posts above that English subtitles are forced on the UK BD.

SUCH a great guideline. That is what I've said, myself, to everyone I've recommended it to...that you do not want anything ruined. Was really happy to see you regarded it so highly

animatedude · 02-10-2012, 09:03 AM

does anyone have the HMV exclusive DVD? share your pix please!

Lutz · 02-13-2012, 01:26 AM

This is def region B locked.

I had to change the region on my remote to get it to play.

freedomland · 02-20-2012, 11:50 PM

Hello,
is any chance that some of the owners could make a BDinfo? I would like to know the codec, audio and videobitrate.

Greengoblin · 02-21-2012, 06:45 AM

this looks like an interesting release, is it better to watch this is English or Spanish?
