So, the dialog will be in English - that is important because one of the movie's key artistic touch are the voiceovers from Hugh Jackman!

I placed a pre-order.

Maybe I can relearn my French this way

Spreading the word around --

Oops -- in my excitement I forgot to evaluate whether home videos manufactured in France can be played on equipment meant for USA viewing.

I realized this when I saw a REMINISCENCE pre-order notice for discs released in the UK. In the past, unless I can use a multi-region equipment, I am unable to do this.

Hmmm... will wait for the news of release in the USA ( which will likely come after the film is, as announced previously, withdrawn for the exclusive one-month HBO-MAX streaming).

Sorry, Amazon.Fr - I may have to cancel the order and replace it with one from Amazon.com.

In this world of advance tech - I cannot understand why there should be different regions for home videos.

[jo]

It is already announced for pre-order on Amazon.uk

And there is a REGION-FREE option.

Presumably, it will be announced on Amazon.com (USA) as soon as the HB0-MAX streaming period is completed ( Sept 19).

Already on streaming in other streamers in Australia --

[jo]

[jo]

In Australia - available on Prime Video on Amazon.com.au

In France - available in 4K-BluRay-DVD with French subtitles on Amazon.fr -- not sure if Region Free

In the UK - available in 4K-BluRay-DVD with option for Region-Free from Amazon.co.uk

In the USA - coming soon on Amazon.com?

Rather unusual that a movie that has just been pulled out of theatrical release is immediately available on home video? Hmm... I wonder why?

I still haven't figured out where to buy the home video discs!

REMINISCENCE pre-order for Amazon's PRIME VIDEO, now available but for release only on September 30.

Presumably, Amazon will also open a Pre-order page for home video discs ( 4K/BluRay/DVD) at a later date?

Now available on Pre-Order with Amazon --

Prime Video/BluRay/DVD.

It looks like in areas where cinema viewing was not possible due to pandemic restrictions and where HBO-MAX is not yet available, in places like Asia REMINISCENCE has now been made available through the HB0-GO streaming service.

The home video for REMINISCENCE is due out on November 9 --

Cited by Forbes.com (Scott Mendehlson) as among films that should have been seen by more people --

With the year winding down, it’s time to take stock in the various best, worst and underseen films of 2021. We’ll start with the under-loved. This first list charts ten films that (mostly) played in some semblance of theatrical release which didn’t quite find the audience they deserved. Yes, there were plenty of high-profile box office bombs in 2021, but these mostly didn’t even get the benefit of online handwringing over their theatrical fates. I wouldn’t say they are “underrated,” since most who saw them mostly liked them, and yes most of them are currently available on a streaming platform or on VOD. And now, in cowardly apathetical order...

Reminiscence (Warner Bros.)

Available to rent for $5.99

Again, this Warner Bros. box office whiff ($15.5 million on a $65 million budget) is exactly what we all claim to want in our theatrical offerings, yet we absolutely ignored it (both in theaters and apparently on HBO Max). Lisa Joy’s original, high-concept sci-fi noir stars Hugh Jackman as a private investigator who uses experimental technology which allows folks to revisit their memories. The tech, invented as an interrogation technique in a recent war, can also be used by folks wanting to wallow in a cherished memory or revisit a dead loved one. In walks Rebecca Ferguson as a classic femme fatale, who (understandably) sweeps Jackman off his feet. Set in a climate change-ravaged Miami and featuring unapologetic R-rated pulp and unglamorous movie star performances, Reminiscence is the very definition of what used to be a “big movie” before movie stars got replaced by IP and marquee characters.

I have seen quite a few recent tweets with many positive comments on the movie.

I caught some parts of it on our HBO cable here - and it continues to leave one with a sense of beauty, mystery and melancholy.

A film noir for the present - too bad most would rather watch action or comic book adaptations.
