I love this movie and would never watch a dubbed foreign movie by choice. But I know my mother would like this movie, but she has difficulty reading subtitles and following the film at the same time!
Is there a DVD out there which has an English audio option?
I totally agree. I HATE any dubbed movie. I was only asking as my mother would love this movie, but has trouble reading subs and following the film. That is all, I was not starting a debate!
I see that this movie is available on blu-ray from Amazon.fr. I'd really love to get it but I suppose that there are no subtitles in English? Any one with info.? Although I'm so familiar with the story I'm half tempted to buy it...with or without subtitles.
The best I can suggest is to read the subtitles to her. You don't want to turn off the audio track, as then you would lose the music, which is important. But I think you could read the subtitles aloud without much interference from the French dialog, since it is fairly sparse.
Thank you for your reply. I know what you mean about dubbed versions, that even lose the music etc. I guess she could just try harder to watch the screen and read the bottom of it at the same time. I love Foreign movies myself and am used to this method, but she is not. regards, Steve.
