Anyone Here Dealt With Joker Films Yet?

[StevenWest]

Just curious if anyone has bought anything from this new Joker label out of France? I know they had a really nice edition of Parasite a while back, but only with French subtitles. This latest movie they're touting called Pleasure looks interesting to me, and apparently is in English with french subtitles. Is the company easy to deal with, shipping decent, quality decent?

I'm no good with French, and let Google translate everything for me with Amazon.FR. So hopefully this Joker place is as easy to deal with?

I hadn't heard anything about them until I was looking at Parasite and found they had a special edition that sold out. I haven't heard anything about them since. They don't seem to be on anyone's radar. I don't know what fan they cater to.

I am on their email list but haven't seen anything that interests me. I've heard mixed things about the Parasite release and I don't think the quality of their slips are as good as premium retailers like HDZeta, Manta, or Weet. Probably closer to Zavvi. Still, they will probably improve over time. 

 

The lack of English subtitles is an issue for many too. I think they are focused on the French market only.

Thanks guys. I too was kinda surprised to see this Pleasure trailer in English with French subtitles. Then again, this was for the theatrical promo - so won't be on disc for a while I'm sure. But will be interesting to see how they do release it in physical form. Looks like a movie ripe for Vinegar Syndrome, Severin or Anti-World. So maybe best to be patient then.
