French blu-ray of Dario Argento's The Card Player arrived. Extralucid of France have just released four new Argento blu-rays - it seemed much more likely that we would receive 4K UHDs of Sleepless and Stendhal so I just ordered this one bd (obviously I need english subtitles for Dark Glasses so that was a no go).
Since it's a new 4k scan of the camera negative, unsurprisingly it looks great (from what I've seen based on a sneak peek). I'm pleased to report that the French subtitles are optional and not forced. Only downside is that the english audio is 2.0 only and not 5.1. I can live with that, as long as it plays okay - I won't be buying Card Player again unless it receives a 4K UHD release.
Will watch on Monday with my wife.
