ENGLISH TRANSLATION?


Was this film ever released dubbed in English? None of the characters' lips ever move, which would have made this ideal for translating into other languages.

What I'm wondering is--can I more or less "get" this movie without subs? The DVD is readily available, and relatively cheap for a Japanese release, but there's no subs. But since it's psychadelica, I'm thinking I can maybe get along without them.

First of all this movie will never be dubbed into english because any american who even auditions for this movie would be picketed. This movie is a 180 degree opposite of "traditional values" and regardless of what you think about this movie reality is that there are a lot of people out there who would take this masterpeice the wrong way. besides, it would never work in english, maybe french, but not english.

as for watching it without subtitles. its easier than some other films, but there is actually a pretty substantial amount of dialouge. you are actually missing quite a bit if you dont have a translation for this one. however, its not hard to find if you use some common sense and spell the title correctly (kanashimi no belladonna).
