R2-French "Dark City" & "The Skulls" - Forced subtitles? (1 Viewer)

[Chad B.]

I'm interested in purchasing these Region 2 French DVDs for their English DTS soundtracks: Dark City & The Skulls. Can anyone who owns these tell me if when listening to the English DTS soundtrack if the French subtitles are removeable?

...for Dark City apparently not (the feature itself, that is - the extras are all "VOST" - Version Originale Sous-Titrée - or, for the French-impaired, subtitled original version)...

...ditto ditto for The Skulls...

I have the french version of Dark City and I can tell you
that there are no forced subtitles on the disc.
Most French dvd's don't have forced subtitles on them, only
the older ones.

Cool, I'll pick up Dark City then.

Quint:
Can you tell me if that R2-French Dark City DVD that you have includes the Roger Ebert audio commentary?
Thanks!

...the Roger Ebert (I know, I know, he's "America's pre-eminent movie critic" and a television 'star' of sorts) commentary is not on the French DVD (in France - as in the rest of Europe and, dare I say it, the world! - Mr Ebert - pace his great fame in the USA - is completely unknown)...
However, the French disc does include "Commentaire audio du réal, scén, dir. photo et dir. artistique (VOST)" (French-subtitled audio commentary by the director, the DOP, and the production designer).
