It's region free - I ejected the disc and toggled my player and it played in region A and B.

It's english friendly with the english dub and removable subtitles. However the white inter titles throughout the movie are in French.

The image is extremely soft. I put in my old Columbia Tristar DVD to compare and while the image on that one looks extremely old and washed out I would say the very small jump in detail is only apparent in the slightly better rendering of textures e.g. The fringing on the lamps in the bar or the model ship in the background and sweat/chest hair on sailors.

The real jump is that the movie now looks 100% natural and film like with extremely vivid colours. It's hard to tell if it's maybe just the colour tints used on the picture that makes the image so soft?

It certainly isn't sharp as a tack like the Olive release of Despair. But maybe they were filmed differently?

Also after having watched it the whole way through I would say the scenes that take place in Feria are a lot softer than the other scenes in the movie. My assessment on the softness was from sitting right in front of the TV. While I was sitting on the couch it looked amazing.

Maybe I'm being a bit thick, Eerik, but on the gaumont site it says...

Hi Eerik, which site did you get that from as it isn't on the Gaumont site. It says...

Audio:
Anglais:DDTHD1.0
Français:DD2.0mono
Sous-titres:
Français pour sourds et malentendants

Which suggests to me English dub, not Eng subs. Have they got this the wrong way round, though, as I noticed Swann in Love has Eng audio, too, which I found bizarre.

I borrowed a friend's copy that he purchased about two years ago, and it definitely had the subs. However, another friend just bought it last week, and swears there are no English subs on the disc (and none mentioned on the packaging).

Nope, he just didn't look hard enough. This Blu-ray has one of the worst menu navigations I've ever seen in my whole life. I feared the same thing when I got this Blu-ray. It took me about 30 minutes to find the English subtitle section (since you can't even choose them during the movie, only from the menu). They are there. I traded away the Blu-ray already so I can't guide him through. But they are there and are really hard to find and navigate through that menu.

Honestly, I've looked everywhere on this disc and no dice. It's possible that somehow I'm just not looking at it the right way, but I've spent over 75 minutes trying to find these elusive English subtitles, and on two different players, just in case it was a weird firmware issue.

If someone who owns a copy could walk me though it I'd be eternally grateful...

It's been a long time since I've seen Querelle. I only know that it was a favourite of mine, among the small number of Fassbinder films I've seen.
