I highly doubt Criterion would ever pick this up, but just out of pure curiosity, does anyone know if Criterion has ever obtained rights from the studio Film Movement? They are who released the dvd version of the film.

*edit* after going to film movement's website, i remember being linked to there from this thread before.
Avoid the U.S. release as it is a PAL-NTSC port. The UK SDVD release is a proper PAL transfer.

I would also recommend seeing and adding to your collection:

1. Sébastien Lifshitz's Wild Side:

2. Bertrand Bonello's Tiresia
http://www.amazon.com/Tiresia-Lauren...2187439&sr=1-1

Both very strong films.
