This film is only released on DVD in France as of yet. It does have English subtitles though.
The only way to get it if you live elsewhere is to buy it from Amazon.fr, or a similar online store.

Hi, I went to Amazon.fr so I could buy the movie, but everything is in French. I know it's a French site, but is there a way I can put it in English so I can read it. I really want to buy the movie, but I don't even understand what I'm looking at. Thanks for your help.

You can register an account at amazon.com or amazon.co.uk and then use that account at the French site.
The only small issue with this is that your address perhaps would have to be edited in the "Country"-field ("Pays" in French), but I'm not sure if it makes any difference really....
If you're still uncertain I can recommend opening two windows of your browser. Where one is at .com or.co.uk and the other is at .fr.
"Pretend" to buy something from the English site and press the same buttons etc. until you come to the check-out.
Using babelfish.com could also help to translate some sentences....
Note: I hope you're aware that the French DVD is Region 2. You'll need a region free player to be able to play it if you're from the US or Canada for example.
RIP Ian....
Thank you for your help.
Do you know of any good region free players that are not to expensive, because I don't want to pay alot of money for one and I'm only going to use it for one region 2 dvd. Thanks.
If you're lucky the player you're using now could be "upgraded" to be region free.
Either by using the remote control, or by paying a small amount at some service centre to make it permanently region free.
Try finding your player here:

I can suggest these:
Philips DVP3140 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000N23JL2
Philips DVP5140 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product//B000F2KUK8
Coby 224 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000261N6M
(Check the customer reviews and comments on how to make them region free via remote control).
Note: Region 2 also means the DVD uses the PAL color-system. So you need to check that your DVD-player & TV can handle such a signal.
However, some DVD-players can convert the signal to NTSC if your TV only can manage that....so check your user manuals.
