This is for anyone who saw "Eastern Promises" in the theater. Was the Russion dialogue subtitled?
I watched the film on DVD tonight, and the Russian dialogue was NOT subtitled. That was fine; I got the gist of what was going on. However, I was curious what would be on screen if I turned on the subtitles for the hearing-impaired. The Russian was translated!
Hmmm ...

Posted: 2/11/08 at 8:35amI saw it in the theater and I was about to say that I'm pretty sure it was NOT subtitled. So much for my memory and powers of observation.

A friend told me last night that it was NOT subtitled in the theater.
Again, I say, "Hmmm ..."

Posted: 2/11/08 at 5:42pmI saw it on dvd and there were no subtitles. I wonder if that affects one's enjoyment? I found it a bore after a while.

Posted: 2/11/08 at 8:54pmI thought that it was a very interesting film. (I wish that "Trainspotting" had been subtitled).

Hahaha. That's funny, wexy. I read the novel and would have had a much easier time if it had been in English!
As far as EASTERN PROMISES goes, I thought it was very disappointing and very mediocre. Wonderful acting and direction, but the plot left nearly EVERYTHING to be desired. Pointless.
