French DVD/Blu-ray/UHD Recommendations

Dead Man's Letter has English subs (and I suppose A Visitor to the Museum too)

I have not seen these films. I only know them by reputation, but I do want them, and expect I will buy them. Is there any chance The Ugly Swans will follow at some later date? Maybe Radiance can do a box with all three? Or will UK labels have to stay away as it is Russian films (although not Mosfilm)?

I have no idea, but am not sure the label will deal with Russian movies again soon, because of how much hurdles these two had !

Bob - Can't see a UK label doing these right now but Deaf Crocodile is rumoured to be releasing A Visitor to a Museum in 2027, not sure if it will be solo or with some of his other films. Fingers crossed the latter! I personally didn't want to wait though on these title, plus they are LE's of 1000 (but I'm sure will be reissued in standard editions)..

Carlotta have removed the English subs from the RRR specs on their website. Glad I hadn't locked my preorder in.

Sadly Pola X which is being released in November doesn't have English subtitles. It was reported (incorrectly) that it did but Carlotta's website makes no indication of English subtitles.

I agree this is almost certainly the case, but Amazon France still shows the English subs, even today, so I was one of the ones who believed it to be true.

Are Carlotta at all in the habit (like Potemkine and some other international labels) of quietly including English subtitles that are omitted from online product listings?

For that reason I often want to get a look at the back cover just in case, because that seems to be the source of truth.

They're not. What can happen however is some mix-up between what was supposed to happen and what did happen in the end, and the product not being updated. But Eng subs on Carlotta releases are extremely rare to begin with.
