French Blu-Ray of La Nuit de Varennes on Region 1 player
I purchased the Blu-Ray version of La Nuit de Varennes from Amazon France. The movie itself plays perfectly on my Panasonic BD35K Region 1 player. However, the interview with director Ettore Scola displays no video, only audio and French subtitles. (There appear to be no English subtitles for the interview.) I can cause the interview's video to display momentarily by pushing pause/play or fast-forward. Perhaps others can report different experiences with different players.
