Francis Veber's Comedies | R4 |
In France, an R2 two disc box set of Les Compères (1983) and Les Fugitifs (1986) is available to purchase. The 2004 release includes both films presented in 1.66:1 widescreen with French and Italian subtitle options. The audio options include French (5.1 Dolby Digital), Italian (2.0 Dolby Digital) and Spanish (2.0 Dolby Digital). Extra features include trailers and two featurettes - "Les compères voyagent" and Les fugitifs voyagent". Also, there are a number of Veber themed box sets in R2 (France), particularly for his later directorial work but I think the AV Channel release is commendable as the films are presented with excellent picture quality considering the age of the films, with optional English subtitles and the original French soundtracks. Due to accessibility and affordability of the local release the R4 release is the winner. |
