Video encoded in two-pass 9 200 kbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image.
My OCR software could absolutely not manage with these subtitles at all for some reason, so both English and Japanese subtitles are converted to VobSub and repositioned.
Note : I had a few requests for this way back, but there was no HD version available, so when one came up, I jumped at it, and, well, here it is. I don't know what it is with Belgians and fucked up shit, but this nasty, surrealist little number reminds me a bit of Man Bites Dog, and indeed this director later worked with Benoît Poelvoorde, lead actor and codirector of that movie. It's pretty unpleasant, but that might be just what you want.
The story concerns Marc, a low-rent singer who travels around Belgium entertaining at nursing homes and the like, who suffers a van breakdown in the middle of nowhere, and is taken in by an innkeeper whose wife left him, and who might just be looking for a... replacement. It gets out of hand pretty quickly, with the other oddball inhabitants of the town treat everything as though it were normal, and the situation gets gradually worse, leading up to a nihilistic climax. It's a bit slow and arty for my taste, but parts are disturbing and memorable. You probably know already if this is the kind of thing that interests you.
This is a basic transfer, and it doesn't look great, kind of soft and fuzzy, but at least the contrast and color is pretty decent. Sound is also fine, and there are no extras, commentary tracks, or anything.
