Machine-translated English subtitles and the Russian subtitles they were translated from:
Le surdoué (1997) English & Russian SRTs.zip
Thank you - I see that someone has reshared the eMule version posted by both starfish and Phuzzy. I am now also sharing the same file I pulled off one of my hard drives.
The videa.hu version looks like it has been de-logoed. Thank you Sully! I will check it out now that I have subtitles.

Thank you Night457! Do you know how the video quality compares between the emule version and the streaming versions?

It is smaller size at videa.hu... for my eye it looks quite similar quality than those others that I have seen before

Yeah, what ferdi said.
The version at uloz is the same as what starfish / Phuzzy shared on eMule.
Naturally whenever you process video to remove a logo or do anything else, there is a potential to lose video quality. This one looks similar but has different color values. Judge for yourself -
(emule file on the left, videa.hu on the right)

The most significant difference is that the videa.hu file is 1024x576 (1.778 aspect ratio) and the emule file is 766x576 (1.33 aspect ratio). You have to set your video player to 16:9 aspect ratio for the emule file so the faces are not squished. (I used Windows screen-capture to get the image looking correct, because the VLC screen-capture would show the image squished no matter what the display settings.)
There is also another version you can find with an eMule search that I am seeing if I can get. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is a similar encode to the FLM-emule file but that it at least eliminates the aspect ratio issue.
I do not remember how much it was discussed in the previous many posts, but what we have available online is actually the 90-minute PART 2 of a total 3-hour TV movie. I suspect it was preserved by fans because this half has more interesting scenes. Part 1 is nowhere to be found by anyone anywhere! Now that I have watched part 2 with subtitles and actually understand what is going on, it is so very apparent that this jumps right in the middle of a story. When I watched it before I had no clue!

Seems to be a lot of commotion over here. I'll go ahead and nab the emule file too. Thanks for the machine subs, Night! Thanks to Phuzzy and starifish and everyone involved in sharing!
The one yandex disk file is 4:3 aspect ration and the other is 16:9 I think?
I wonder if @ghost would be interesting in AI upscaling & remastering this film ?

I think the two yandex disk links shared on one of the earlier pages of This thread also are both the 1.778 and 1.33 aspect ration versions.
I searched on French torrent tracker and found also only this:

I could give it a try. Although the source quality is really bad...
@Night: Thanks for the subs. At least we have Russian ones now.
