Just found it going cheap on DVD on Amazon, so all being well I can bring it
with me.

arrived this morning, checked it and it seems to work. 's one of those
films where you keep noticing bits - I looked at the first 5 minutes or so
to make sure the DVD was OK, and saw something I'd not seen before.

DVD has subtitles in English, which IMHO spoil it, so I'd be inclined to
turn 'em off. They're not necessary, even with my very rudimentary French -
such dialogue as there is is in English anyway, ISTR, and the subtitles are
translating stuff that's written. Very odd.

discount for the ferry.
