Gaumont French Releases

I’ll check tonight, just bought it!

I bought it a few weeks ago : the back cover says it has French SDH and English subs, and a quick check at the 1st disc confirms that's indeed the case !

Many thanks to both. Perhaps the review I quoted refers to Tavernier's shorter (3 hour) series which appears not to have had English subs on the French 2 DVD release (though it does of course on the UK version).

Just checked the 2nd disc of the set (you never know!) and English subs are there as well. Quelle surprise!

What may be interesting to note as well is that these discs are region free, I played them on my Oppo 105 set to region A.

FNAC have launched a new on-demand initiative whereby titles only enter production after they receive enough orders. There are currently 90 titles up - most of which are already widely available outside of France anyway. Gaumont have contributed a couple - a 'complete' (sans La maison des bois) Pialat box set and a 24-film Michel Audiard box set.

Thanks for the heads up! Quite a few Claude Berri films in that list, for anyone into that kind of thing.

Kind of a shame that the 21-film Berri box doesn't have subs, but maybe the hopefully-upvoted versions will get that courtesy, packaging be damned.

99% certain that the Berri will be the same existing discs but sold individually, as no release in this list seems to be newly authored discs.
However, I seem to recall a few Berri had subs, though I'd need to double check.

Can anyone confirm whether or not Gaumont's blu-ray release of Marguerite Duras' Le camion
has English subtitles or not? I've seen one source that says it does, and others that say it doesn't.

October releases are Malle's A Very Private Affair and two films by Jacques Deray, Rififi in Tokyo and The Outside Man

I recently ordered this. It only has French subs unfortunately.

Riccardo Freda´s Beatrice Cenci (1956) to be released, as Le Château des amants maudits, by Gaumont in June 2024, with French and original (=Italian?) dubs. Part of Gaumon´s new Inclassables BR line.

Also included among the June releases, is Processo alla città (Luigi Zampa, 1952) in shortened French version, plus original length version with subs (I assume French).
