Hey Michael, thanks for stopping by the blog.

Unfortunately, as it stands LA BELLE CAPTIVE is currently the only DVD that is legitimately available with any sort of English options; and even at that it's one of the few DVDs available at all. As far as DVDs that I'm aware of, there's the following (off the top of my head):

-OOP Japanese release of THE BLUE VILLA that had hardcoded subtitles
-Italian PLAYING WITH FIRE DVD that was dubbed into Italian and had poor image quality
...and I believe there was one more Italian DVD, but off the top of my head I don't remember what title it was... maybe LA BELLE CAPTIVE? I know there were at least a couple of French VHS Pre-Records too, but don't know them all off the top of my head. None of the available options, naturally, are anamorphic. Right now the only route to seeing his films is via bootleg. For THE MAN WHO LIES, TRANS EUROP EXPRESS and EDEN AND AFTER there are bootlegs circulating that have English subtitles; THE MAN WHO LIES at least coming from an ancient print from Evergreen/Grove, I'm guessing the rest are sourced from their prints as well (though I can't verify this).

L'IMMORTELLE is available as a bootleg with fan-made subtitles that appear to be fairly accurate, as they were derived from the cine-roman of the film. SLOW SLIDINGS OF PLEASURE and PLAYING WITH FIRE are available as bootlegs as well, but without any subtitled options at this point.

N TOOK THE DICE, however, is nowhere to be found. I think The Erotic Dream Machine mentions that it was aired only once or twice on TV, and it was before the age of VCRs, so I doubt a copy will pop up anytime soon (but one can hope!).

I have DVDR bootlegs of all of his films except N TOOK THE DICE and GRADIVA, so I might be able to help you out with those.
