    Can anyone tell me: when you watch The Shining, version francaise, do they leave the Red Rum in English?

    They do! Spooky.

    yep they do... Nobody thought of transforming the traces on the mirror with computer graphics in 1980. But if I remember correctly, they subtiltle it when Shelley Duvall discovers it's for "murder".

    This got me thinking... in the French version of Harry Potter, is the mirror of Erised called the Miroir de Rised ?

    I will of course claim that I often read far more high-brow books than Harry Potter...

    yes, it's the miroir du risèd, and please don't laugh at me for knowing that!

    Joli Kiwi is right, they subtitle it.

    I'm always right. But I still like it when people point it out. Which they have a tendency to do... A lot...

    That's like asking if in "The Red Balloon" is the balloon really "red" or Le Ballon rouge?

    Here's a question (because I'm moving to Paris in 2 days and have a lot to learn), when American films come to France, are they typically dubbed or subtitled in French? I'm hoping for subtitles.

    In Paris, at the theater, they're subtitled. In the rest of the country, they're dubbed. On DVD, you can choose, obviously!

    Thanks Jolikiwi and Hilda.

    Nothing to do with this particular post..I just love your blog :) I have discovered it like 2 days ago and I have so much to catch up on....

    Coquette, c'est pas forcement vrai: I'm in Rennes and I just saw La verité qui derange in version originale, so I think it depends more on what movie you see.

    Hello Coquette,
    I love your blog!
    I think it's probably because meutre would turn into erteum, which doesn't sound scary but rather like an obscure verlan slang word.
