From what I can tell the only bluray version is the french release, however I cannot find this to buy anywhere besides the french amazon website, but they wont let me buy it since Im in the us.
Anyone know where I can get this? Even ebay doesnt have it...
amazon.co.uk has two blu-ray versions in english. One says 115 minutes, the other 168 minutes. The picture is identical, so I'm not sure if this is a mistake of not.
Another site, play.com, also has the same (?) two blu-ray versions, and the comments there indicate one of them is the dubbed in french version. They don't list running time, so for the moment I'd lean towards assuming the really long version is dubbed in french (I've never seen that 160+ minute version in the original English).
So, in short, amazon.co.uk's 160+ minute blu-ray version MIGHT be in english, but I doubt it.
EDIT: I'm stoopid and didn't notice amazon.co.uk also has comments at the end of the product description. The 160+ minute version is the dubbed in French version. Someone deserves a beating.
As mentioned in the other thread, the English language Blu-ray on Amazon.co.uk is also the 168 minute cut, contrary to what it says on the site.

So this one would be the 168 minute cut? Also, would you know if its the English one or the one dubbed in French? Thanks!
Your post is a little more than 3 months old so perhaps you know this already but for the benefit of everyone...
The Amazon URL mentioned above has the 168-min Director's Cut as it's main feature but also the 137-min theatrical cut as a bonus feature. Both cuts on this particular disc gives you the option of choosing English (LPCM 2.0) and French (DTS HD MA 2.0) audio. The currently cited running time of 115 minutes is grossly incorrect (but then so are many things posted at Amazon).
I've taken the liberty to make the link clickable:

As usual Amazon groups together reviews from the other releases including that of the original Blu-ray from Optimum that did have the French-only audio but this release is the re-issue which they should be commended for making available that soon after the first release. In my country we don't have this option so I am pleased to finally own this one instead.
