english subtitles on the Tartan DVD suck...


uh, OW? what moron designed those subtitles? Usually Tartan's Releases are great, but these bright bubble-letter subtitles are so hard on the eyes. It's difficult to read them and watch the picture simultaneously. Why couldn't they do a normal yellow placed in the black letterbox?!

I agree. Some of the WORST subtitles I've ever seen. Nearly impossible to read and understand.

I gotta ask.

For the subtitles was it just bad translation or did he really call one of his cats "Catface"?

I know...of all the silly things to stick in my head about this film, that was it.

Yes yes yes, those subtitles were ridiculous... I felt like I had a headache everytime Lazarescu did.

well i think the best way to subtitle a movie is a simple white subtitles without any box behind. this is what my dvd had, which is great. i hate those ugly looking yellow subtitles we often see in movies though.

Interesting that somebody else would complain about the appearance of the subtitles. My complaint instead is how poor the translation was. You really didn't miss a whole lot (other than a headache:-).
