This version had the most horrendous subtitling I have ever encountered! Some highlights include "Mais elle ne vous a jamais fait signe de vie?" (She never showed a sign of life?), being translated as: "She never had a life farming?" As well as multiple typos, word for word translations, and just really strange wording. It really took away from the charm of the film, and seemed to worsen as the film went on.
ReplyDeleteBizarre! I can't even think of how someone mistook sign of life for farming, lol.
