This is the only copy I have found - from amazon.fr
Does anyone have it ? Seen it ?

I am wondering about the quality of the  English Sub-titles.

I saw some free downloads of the movie http://go2.u6e.de/unegle - probably illegal ? One said something about the sub-titles being much better....

Examples: http://www.watch-movies.net/movies/une_vieille_maitresse/ -
seems to be the entire movie with Asian subtitles ?

Odetoazia: I have the French DVD and even though it's a really awesome release, with plenty of extras, there are no English subtitles!!!

There's a Chinese DVD being sold on Ebay that "contains English subtitles". I mean they use English words, but they don't really make any sense. It seems like they translated some words with a very bad online translator. And it doesn't have all the cool extras that the French DVD has. I know this is unfair, but I don't recommend spending your money on the Chinese release/bootleg -- whatever that is - because the English is very bad and doesn't always make sense.

Fuadrocks: just read that the English distributor of this film is "Artificial Eye" (2008) http://www.realmovienews.com/movies/9482
I am not clear if this is about cinemas or DVDs

Fuadrocks: Thank you so much for that information, Mariana. Before your reply arrived, I waited a bit and thinking no information was coming / available, I ordered it from amazon.fr
Then I read your welcome reply afterwards. Sure enough, just as you said - no subtitles at all; except French ones for deaf people (and a useful adjunct to viewers whose French is so-so).

LOVE the appendices ! Everyone, there is a special section where Catherine Breillat talks exclusively about each principle actor - and that of course includes a section that is dedicated to Fu'ad.

LOADS of "behind the scenes" footage of them filming. The scenes of him recovering after the duel - it shows them bandaging him up while standing and also Catherine Breillat coaching him from in bed: she seems to adore him.
There are pics of some of this in the Photos section (see Ryno & La Vellini folder) from Mariana's site 
www.odetoazia.com (if you want to see LOADS on Asia Agento in this film - get over there fast !). He seems to wear modest underpants most of the time, bless him. As most would in a crowded room !

I wish I could capture stills from the DVD - there is a beautiful bit where Fu'ad seems to be posing for a picture OR having light readings taken. He is in the "Algerian" house, wearing an indigo shirt and a turban (Algeria -  very convincing - you see its a pile of sand in France !) and gazing in that blank-model way towards the viewer. Very nice picture. I will look into what is involved. I am a member of another yahoo group and its boss does it all the time. Anyway, the boss of the other club said that a few years ago when he purchased, the equipment was very expensive ... we will see.
