Wild at Heart French Blu-Ray
Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2008 6:23 am
Sorry if something has already been posted about this.
This is just to tell you: do not buy this.
This Blu-Ray has been released for a month now, and it seems the transfer is pretty good. BUT it has forced French subtitles which, in this day and age, is just plain unacceptable. OK, I'm French and I understand the need to have subtitles in the language of the country where the film is being published, but the freedom to remove them if you don't need them is something so simple and essential it's hard to keep my temper when I see something like this. And please, BAC films, no legal mumbo jumbo to justify this. If there was really a legal reason, then you should sue whoever is responsible for making you have crippled releases, since 90% of other French Blu-Ray releases let the subtitles be optional.
So I'll just hold on until a British or US release gets out, and don't hesitate to let BAC films know that you would have bought their product if not for that bull.
