My Mother AKA Ma mère (2004) DVD
https://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/ ... ?fid=73068

R2 United Kingdom - Revolver Entertainment [2005 Release]

Aspect Ratio: 1.75:1 (measured by me)
Soundtracks: (The soundtrack is Dolby Digital 2.0, but I do not have the ability to confirm whether or not it is Surround. It probably is though.)
Subtitles: English (burnt-in)
Cuts: No cuts (107:39 PAL)
Extras:

Interview with director Christopher Honoré (16:34) (in French with optional English subtitles)
Interview with actress Emma de Caunes (11:17) (in French with optional English subtitles)
Theatrical Trailer (1:41) (in French with burnt-in English subtitles)
Deleted Scene (2:20) (in English and French with optional English subtitles for French portions)
Alternate Ending (5:38) (in French with optional English subtitles)


All other specs for this release are correct.

Additional corrections:

1. The trailer on the UK release is shorter than the reported length of the trailer on the American release, so the OVERALL section should perhaps be amended, as it currently states the extras are identical.

2. Based on the runtime, the American release is presumably a PAL -> NTSC conversion.

3. Typo: On the American release, there is an extra space character that should be removed:
Theatrical Trailer (2:22 ) -> Theatrical Trailer (2:22)

4. Typo: CUTS Section: R0 Italy:
pAL -> PAL

The DVD version is now listed twice:
As already noted, “My Mother” is not an actual distribution title and should be avoided.

It seems all my suggested corrections have now been made, except for the UK aspect ratio. I don't know if this was an oversight, or if you think 1.75:1 is close enough to 1.78:1 that you didn't wish to change it.

There are a couple of other issues, mentioned by Markus:

1. There are currently still two pages for the DVD, and they should be merged into a single page.

2. According to Markus, the English language title "My Mother" should not be included in the page title. Personally, I don't have a firm view on this either way. The IMDb page does include "My Mother" as the USA and World-wide title:

If the title IS updated, it should be done for the Blu-ray page too:

Re: My Mother AKA Ma mère (2004) Blu-ray

On the Blu-ray page, there is a mistake that I made:

  Interview with director Christopher Honoré (37:18)

This should be corrected:

  Interview with director Christophe Honoré (37:18)

Now that I have watched the Blu-ray, I can note that My Mother is given as an English-language title for the movie, as the title card is thus subtitled.

1. The spelling mistake on the Blu-ray page still needs correcting (see previous note from Markus).

2. There are currently still 2 DVD pages, according to the previous links (although only 1 is now visible in a title search).
