no Blu-ray of Room in Rome?

[JJE-187]

I was looking into getting this and there is no BR in the US of this. What gives? the UK got one. I did notice that IFC Films owns it so is there a small chance that Criterion might release it?

may just take some time.

lots of films have been released overseas but not in the U.S. until much later. even films made in America, like Pulp Fiction, have been out in the UK / elsewhere while we will FINALLY be getting a stateside release in June.

i would hold out hope and be patient. that's what i'm doing

I have this on my Netflix queue on DVD. Looks really good. Would have been better had it been released on Blu-ray but what can you do.

I've noticed IFC is lacking on Blu-ray releases here in the U.S. The Horde also didn't get a Blu-ray here either. I am going to just import the German release of Room in Rome.

I'd also like to see a release of the Belgian horror film Left Bank on Blu-ray. IFC probably think these niche titles wouldn't sell enough copies on BD in the US. Brick and mortar stores seem to be reluctant to stock anything but Hollywood fare.

I have the UK BD of Room in Rome and it's quite good. It's too bad it is region locked, especially with no region A release on the horizon.

Any of the current releases is region unlocked?
I know the UK one is locked, what about the other 2?

Resurrecting a dead thread but the one in Hong Kong(i think) was region A and works in the U.S. It's a bit annoying as the parts in spanish/italian aren't translated on screen unless you turn on English subtitles. I got it from bestbuy.com.
