Question:
I found this whilst trying to did up reviews of the Dutch Cult epics DVD of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer... Has anyone got details on it - it looks kinda saucy:
Henry, Portrait d'un Serial Killer - Édition Collector 2 DVD
http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005Y1K3/qid%3D1029759277/402-6286615-1880941
ive got it !
not nearly as good as it reads
the french subs are non removable and the supplements are in french language the pic is very good though better than the cult epics and the US version
there are 2 dutch releases one with a commentary and interview with the director.
Harder to find is the First film in a slip case with Henry 2 some supplements including the director interview.Picture is excellent but missing the card at the beginning claiming to be based on real events.
Cool Man, Thanks for the reply...
Some Henry questions !
1. Are the subs big enough to distract ?
2. Is it uncut ?
3. What's the packaging on the French disc like ?
4. Is the Cult Epics DVD (with commentary) still in print and who's selling it. What's the pic quality like ?
5. I heard the US version has the audio outa sync with the visuals - is this true ?
Thanks !
hi there
1. not really distracting some players can actually turn these subs off,i have scanners and the brood french issues and ive put up with them for the sake of the picture.
2.it appears uncut, bottle in the face still there,title card missing claiming to be based on actual events which is on the cult epics as well as a music cue which has been replaced on all other versions.
3.card slip case fold out card interior with two discs sat in clear plastic trays.
4. pic quality is grainy and blacks are poor but has the commentery and is complete uncut and as intended not sure who's selling it anymore try www.chainsaw.demon.nl
5.some people have moaned about the audio sync mine did suffer this but the pic was slightly better than the dutch version but no commentery so got rid of.
All in all ive kept 3 versions cult epics for commentry and completeness, Dutch box set with mask of sanity henry 2 nice extras on serial killers in english and more stuff which escapes my memory at the moment but pic is very good and the french disc which im considering for ebay as i cannot remove the subs.
deep breath.
There is no great version as the film is so low grade we need a version which includes the director interview and commentery and excellent pic and it don't exist.
Dunctay, Thanks for Your help, and thanks for anwering my questions...
I'm sure this has been very handy for other people here tyring to track down the best version of this film...
Cheers !
