The upcoming 4K UHD release of Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo lists English subtitles.

--

Does anyone know if the Blu-Ray releases of Konrad Wolf's Solo Sunny and Wolfgang Staudte's Die Mörder sind unter uns have English subtitles? I can't see any listed, but they are listed on the DVD releases from the same label so it would be odd (though not unheard of) for them to be dropped.

They don't.

Anolis announces their edition of The Lost Continent (1968, Bestien lauern von Caracas):
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.ph ... 55&page=27 (scroll down to Ivo Scheloske´s announcement posting)

This version is supposedly 100 mins. at 24 fps, two minutes longer than the previous integral version (=Anchor Bay?). Taken from an old archive German print.

Wow very exciting Stefan! I wonder if Kino might take a look at releasing this one in their war-time German cinema line as it’s a pretty packed release. A couple of websites mention English subtitles but the back of the case and majority of places say it’s German only.
