I know this is out already on Region 1 with the Criterion Collection, but does anyone know of a european release?
I'm aching to see this film.
A quick is to make your dvd player multi-region. This is normally done via the remote. Seaqrch for dvd multi-region hacks and you should be able to find one for your machine. Great film.
shareI don't think it's available in Europe, but there is a Region 2 version in Japan, which seems to have better image quality than the Criterion.
shareThe problem with asian releases is that the subs are often very bad in my opinion.
I saw a korean release of Old boy and one line was subbed something like "There are many skies but only one sky" which left me wonder. But I guess it was suppose to be "There are many skies but only one heaven". I don't think i've seen an asian released movie without errors in the subs. It's good that they often add "english" subs though.
Onibaba is a great movie and the criterion edition is ok.
