Has anything been announced for this? I'm looking forward to seeing this but it has only a UK release so far.

Nothing yet, BTW the UK release is locked to Region B.

I decided to import the France release, so I’ll see how it is when it arrives.

It was either that or the UK release. The France release is pricier and unfortunately it doesn’t have English subs, but it is AVC and a higher bitrate than the UK release, which is VC1. The disc region doesn’t matter to me.

Some older and non-US releases is where this site lets me down, with no reviews. But in addition to at least the specs listed on this site, I did find this comparison listing (including listing all the special features of each release) to help me make my choice:

This was the first film I worked on as a driver.
13 years later and I’m still in this crazy film industry now managing the drivers and all the transportation. But this holds a special place in my heart.

^ Manfonse, it's so awesome that you worked on this film!

My France copy arrived and I watched it tonight, it was as enjoyable as I remember it being.

Really great sets and design, also worth seeing if you're a Saoirse Ronan fan.

As mentioned I went with the France copy for the best codec/PQ, only too bad it doesn't have English subtitles for those who want them, and they replaced the English on-screen title of the movie in French (it gets written in a stylized way as the filament of a lightbulb), otherwise all the credits are in English.

Glad to have it in my collection, it's definitely one I'll watch again.
