States all Region.


Does anyone know whether there are English subtitles?

there certainly is not any English on that page!

Translating the specs on Amazon Japan it does state it contains English as well as Japanese subtitles. CDJapan also confirms this.

My original post might be the dumbest post I have ever made here.

Assuming they use the original audio track, I would not need English subtitles.

I think I was operating in a "force of habit" mode, from times when I would see that a French- or Italian-language film was released in France or Italy, and in those cases, I would *need* the English subtitles (and they were not always actually included).

So I ended up conflating "Amazon, Japan" with the idea that I would need English subtitles.

Not my best moment on the board.

Can I just ask why this particular release would be of interest to anyone?

The Criterion Blu is out-of-print, right?

Must be, because the only one available at (US) Amazon is priced at more than $170.00.

So, for those of us who missed the Criterion, this should be a lot less expensive, right?

I think you'll find the U. K. Blu-ray disc even less expensive!

Is the U.K. also region free? The Japan release is listed as region free (hopefully an accurate listing). That would make a difference, for me.

Frankly, I don't know. This is not a film or disc that interests me. But I assumed, obviously incorrectly, that anyone posting in the "International" forum and thinking about importing discs would have gone multi-zone long ago.

The UK disc is Region "B" locked. The Japanese wouldn't need to be region-free, as Japan is region "A", same as north America. Apparently, there are Italian and Spanish versions that are region-free and likely cheaper than Japan.

That link goes to an import listing of the UK Blu-ray, not an Italian release.


The Italian release is here: http://www.amazon.it/dp/B00LG4IU88/
