I've been struggling to find out any information on the film Code Inconnu (uk title Code Unknown) - the official website is no use, and neither is IMDB :(

I remember hearing some good things about it a while ago but can't remember where - I have it on pre-order at Play for the time being.

Is the film any good does anyone know?

Code Inconnu Official Website (http://www.code-inconnu.com/e_index.html)

Is the UK R2 better than the French R2, or is it available on R1 and is it better?

Thanks

The French Release was reviewed by Noel M here (http://www.dvdtimes.org.uk/index.cgi?page=Review&id=254&story=2111).

the 5:1 sound was lost on the Uk release but there is a commentary that wasn't on the French release...
So the UK release may be more worthwhile...

I've got the French release and it's pretty good - but I recommend you make sure you're going to enjoy the film before buying it... it's quite demanding to watch and requires a lot of work on the audience's side... I thought it was quite interesting though but I like off-beat films... Anyway read Noel's synopsis which I think is quite a good summing up and see if you still want to get it... But in case you hate it, there's still Juliette Binoche to look at;)
