I hope Criterion addresses the issue and fixes it. I agree with other members that part of what makes Criterion buyers so unique is not only their willingness to embrace, but their openmindedness, curiousity and understanding of other cultures. I find it completely patronizing that the film has been ostensibly 'Americanized'. Moreover, living in Quebec and having European 'in-laws', I know all about Asterix & Obelix and various other European cultural references. I will be holding off on that purchase for now. Having not seen the movie, when I told my girlfriend who has seen the film and loved it, she was thrilled Criterion was putting out an edition as it was certainly a film she wanted in our collection. This subtitle boondoggle is certainly disheartening.
