Are forced subs still a thing in this day age?

Just received shipping confirmation from Amazon.fr for the 3 Days of the Condor UHD steelbook.

PowellPressburger · 11-17-2020, 02:29 PM

Anyone confirm if there are FORCED Subtitles on the French or German release?

peacekeeper · 11-17-2020, 04:04 PM

Probably not forced, all my earlier Studio Canal blu-ray versions of 3 Days of the Condor (or other Studio Canal blu-ray titles that I bought either in Germany, France or The Netherlands) are always the same pan-european discs with different sub options. For what it's worth Amazon.fr and FNAC both list a choice of French or English subtitles for this UHD. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of other sub options (dutch?) will be there as well.

Anyone can show the French steelbook please ?

A masterpiece of 1970’s filmmaking and it gets a release in Germany / France

There are movies by French directors that are not released in France.

Different rights holders. Take it up with Paramount USA.

That's why there's an "Import" button

My German SteelBook has been shipped. But I’ve heard JPC is slow so I wonder how long I’ll have to wait.

I'm likin' the color grading.

PowellPressburger · 11-20-2020, 10:47 PM

Loving that the color looks good a couple things stand out... but not sure what if it is an issue or not.

Looks like the 4K is missing detail of bricks but could it be just the grab itself and that fact HDR etc isn't applied?

https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=1&x...7&l=0&i=2&go=1

Notice the blue background
the color/ compression looks more amplified on the 4K

Overall I think I am pleased.

I already have a copy of the French 4K on the way I'd guess the disc compression etc should be Identical to the German 4K

brainofj72 · 11-20-2020, 11:06 PM

Caps look very nice. It would appear that the transfer has a much more moody and atmospheric look now, which seems appropriate (and, I would assume, more accurate). Looking forward to revisiting the film; haven't seen it in years.

PowellPressburger · 11-20-2020, 11:11 PM

and don't forget 3 Days of the Condor is a Christmas film.

Perfect time for the release

I think that's just the SDR conversion. In the exact same frame there is a clear improvement in detail on the car grill (and I can actually read the letters PLYMOUTH)...

https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=2&x...7&l=0&i=2&go=1

Is there any notable difference between the mastering of the German and French versions?

I dare say it's the exact same disc.

As for the bricks, this is indeed an SDR conversion so it may be missing something in the bright portions of the image but the compression also looks like it's doing something weird, so it could be a bit of both.

Pyoko · 11-21-2020, 12:21 AM

Regarding the bricks it looks to me like it's the compression of the highlights crapping out as per usual, but it may well be alleviated to a good degree by the DV FEL.

This is going in the same cream+cyan direction as Serpico but looks slightly more balanced and less drenched.

CelestialAgent · 11-21-2020, 01:38 AM

Remaster looks great to me!

Although “Paranoia Cinema of the 70s” is only 19 minutes long. Shame when the other releases had over an hour’s worth of extras

Apparently Panasonic players don’t like the discs because of Dolby Vision (the Google Translate option seems pretty hopeless though)?
