    Why, oh why are so many DVD-retail sites incredibly bad when it comes to providing information about the langauges that a DVD is available in.

    I have been trying to hunt down a copy of City of Lost Children (by Jeunet) which has the original French soundtrack. Think I can find it? Not at all.

    Amazon list a massively overpriced version which has the original soundtrack. Most other sites list a different edition, either either no language listed, or just "english". Of course, having checked some of the DVDs I have against these sites, they seem to mean "Yes, there is an English track on here amongst others" as opposed to "English is the only language on here".

    Grrrrrrrr.

    Anyway - if anyone actually knows of a site which has said DVD at a non-exorbitant price, with the original French soundtrack on it, please do tell me.

    None, not here anyway. The Region 2 (UK/Ireland) version is actually dubbed in English, so it doesn't feature the French (original) track (stupid decision?) at all.

    Your best bet would be to find an online French DVD retailer, and get it there. Alternatively, get the R1 version (lil spensive tho):

    http://www.dvdexpress.com/product_movies.asp?type=Movie&PRODUCTNUMBER=9346

    Best version out AFAIK, cos i think it features both the Standard 1.33:1 [4:3], and 1.85:1 aspect ratios
    Add'l Features: Enhanced for 16x9 TVs
    Subtitles: English, French, Spanish
    Audio Tracks: Dolby Digital Surround: French
