| Deltamac does a first for Au Revoir, Mon Amour as they are presenting the Hong Kong edit with an English translation for the first time on home video. Prior edition from Megastar (released as Till We Meet Again although the print had no title alteration) actually was the extended Taiwan print (clocking in at 119 minutes as opposed to the 105 minute running time of Deltamac's disc). Only the Mandarin/Japanese language track was therefore made available and this edit of the film surely is worth seeking out.
Deltamac presents the film in an aspect ratio of 1.81:1 approximately. Print has moderate wear but displays the fine colours of the design to a pleasing degree.
The Cantonese/Japanese Dolby Digital 2.0 track doesn't suffer from any noticeable detractions. While the alternate Mandarin/Japanese 2.0 option would to the best of my knowledge be more preferable (considering the Shanghai setting), most of the Hong Kong actors does seem to deliver their lines in Cantonese so I guess it's a toss-up ultimately. The choices are here anyway and both tracks are post-synched I should also point out.
The English subtitles has a number of grammar errors and sloppy wording but overall do not harm the flow of the translation. There's a handful of lines that are not subtitled but seemingly nothing vital is being missed. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also available. Only extra is the trailer. |
