Just watched the Days of Glory Blu-Ray - great transfer which is very sharp and is very film like (ie some visible grain on long shots etc). There is some occasional shimmer (is that the correct phrase?) on things like forest floors but occurs maybe 3 times in the whole film, and then only for a few seconds. The box says 'Colour PAL' on it, and the runtime is just under 124mins - IMDB seems to report varying runtimes between 120min and 128min so I'm not sure why that is.... Fingers crossed this does not have the dreaded PAL speed up!
Audio is limited to Dolby Digital 2.0, 5.1 and DTS 5.1 (all in French/Arabic).

Thanks for the mini-review Ali. I had this pre-ordered with Bergman but Tartan keep pushing the date back, so I will have to wait until December.

Anyone have info on region coding for Thirteen Ghosts which comes out next week in the UK and Australia?
Also, anyone have info on The Company Of Wolves? It's listed at a few UK sites like Play, Sendit, Bensonsworld. The street date was 10/15. Was this actually released or was it just a rogue announcement? Any region code?
Thanks.

According to sendit.co.uk, the UK release of La Vie en Rose is deleted. Any other territories that might release this title?
La Science Des Reves from France still not released. Sigh.

it looks like Kill Bill has been rescheduled for UK release on 30th March 2008 if Amazon is to be believed. I think the reason for postponing it before was to let a US release get there first, so here's hoping...

Someone from the other forum said that La Mome from france is english friendly and is region free. Just ordered it from amazon france and will update. Finally I have access to a Region A player so I can also test the spanish release for "perfume: story of a murderer". Be back soon.

Checking up on my order of "The Seventh Seal" Blu-ray from Tartan Video at Amazon.co.uk gives me this message: "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."
Has this been cancelled?
