3.0 out of 5 stars
Good film and okay DVD, June 28, 2010
This review is from: La Jeune Fille Et Les Loups (DVD)
I'd been wanting to see this film for some time and was pleased to finally get an NTSC copy on a region 1 disc.
The overall image quality was fine when upconverted on a Blu-ray player (though the titles looked like digitized garbage overall)and the sound was also fine.
My only real problem with the disc, and it's a biggie, is that for a region 1, NTSC disc, there is no option for English subtitles!
Now the film's not that complicated and I'm a massive fan of Laetitia Casta, so I followed it all pretty well (even though I can count the number of words I know in French on one hand), but I imagine it would have impressed me that much more if I could have followed along with subtitles, particularly at the end.
The photography is outstanding,the music is nicely lyrical, and all the performances (including Ms. Casta's...don't listen to the naysayers!) were all very well done so if you're fluent in French I'd say don't miss it. If not, well...maybe you should wait for a subbed version to come out on Blu.
