Non parlez vous francais but it sure looks interesting.
When does the English version come out?

Given past experience it could well be a year before we see this in English. Casshern and Night Watch all took at least that long; Mamoru Oshii’s Avalon took three years to appear on DVD in the UK. And the film companies wonder why people go after illegal downloads…

Yeah Bilal’s films never turn up here. I have the soundtrack of his Bunker Palace Hotel on CD but I’ve yet to see the film.
