(go there to look check out how the DVDs look like)

TF1 Vidéo and Océan Films have announced the French Region 2 DVD release of 2046: Limited 2-Disc Collector's Edition for 26th May 2005. Wong Kar-Wai's long awaited follow-up to In The Mood For Love is set in late 60s Hong Kong and stars a wealth of talent from Hong Kong, China and Japan including Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi, Faye Wong, Gong Li, Takuya Kimura and Carina Lau with a special guest appearance by Maggie Cheung.

It's not often we report on French DVD releases, especially when they're lacking English subtitles and debut just days after the UK DVD release, but we thought this deserved a mention if only for the luxurious two-disc set that will appeal to French speakers and Limited Edition enthusiasts.

Once again for those not paying attention, there are no English subtitles...

【記者王雅蘭／報導】

王家衛執導的「2046」最近在法國版DVD中收藏許多被刪剪鏡頭，是港台版本看不到的，包括劉嘉玲與張震全裸床戲，雖然大多數被刪剪鏡頭都圍繞在章子怡和梁朝偉，也有一幕是鞏俐飾演的女賭徒蘇麗珍由新加坡返港找周慕雲的一段戲。

不過，最吸引海外買家的，還是收錄在DVD中的「2046」預告片，在預告片中除了出現沒鬍子的周慕雲，還有周慕雲的現代LOOK，還有幾段可能是拍攝初期拍下王菲、木村拓哉與梁朝偉在荒野上的對手戲。而張曼玉與梁朝偉深情相擁鏡頭只能在DVD中看到。

2046刪剪鏡頭
現法國版DVD
（香港訊）王家衛經過6年時間拍攝的《2046》已上映多時，以王家衛拍片一貫作風有一大堆鏡頭拍了最終都被刪剪，未能在最終的電影版中出現。
劉嘉玲張震全裸床戲重現

不過，最近王導演的fans有機會在剛推出的《2046》法國版DVD中看到那些被刪剪的鏡頭，最值得一提是之前被王家衛刪剪劉嘉玲飾演的機械人與張震那場全裸床上戲亦會收錄在DVD的預告片中重現！

王家衛一如許多導演一樣愛將已刪剪的鏡頭收錄在DVD中，例如之前在《花樣年華》的法國版DVD王家就將多段已被刪剪的鏡頭“重現”觀眾眼前！繼《花》片之后《2046》法國版DVD亦于近日在法國推出。在這次的DVD中收錄了不少被刪剪的鏡頭。在這些刪剪鏡頭當中，大部分都是環繞章子怡飾演的上海舞女白玲與梁朝偉飾演的作家周慕雲之間的愛情關係。另一幕是鞏俐飾演的女賭徒蘇麗珍由新加坡返港找周慕雲的一段戲。

張曼玉現身擁梁朝偉

不過，最吸引莫過于收錄在DVD中的幾段給海外電影買家觀看的《2046》預告片！在預告片中除了出現沒有二撇雞的周慕雲之外，還有周慕雲的現代LOOK。此外，還有幾段相信是拍攝初期拍下王菲、木村拓哉與梁朝偉在荒野上的對手戲。而張曼玉與梁朝偉深情相擁鏡頭只能在DVD中看到。


The Chinese newspaper reported some of the deleted scenes included:
Carina Lau & Chen Chang's naked bed scene
Tony & Zhang ZiYi's deleted scenes
Gong Li flew from Singapore to HK to look for Tony
Maggie & Tony's hugging scene
Faye Wong, Takuya Kimura & Tony's scene
Tony's modern look without mustache
