Quick update-Privilege has been released on DVD through New Yorker films-there's also a 5 DVD box set called The Cinema of Peter Watkins-it includes Punishment Park, The Gladiators, The War Game and Culloden on the same disc and a two disc special edition of Edvard Munch. There's also an official Evening Land DVD that was released in France-I have yet to track down a copy but have seen screenshots of the film and the picture quality is great. Watkins is in the process of getting The Journey transferred to DVD-but considering the length of the film, it will be a while before its available-On a side note-With the advent of Amazon.com running Borders out of business-Borders is sending out coupons to Borders Rewards members-membership is free you just gotta sign up for it-They are emailing 40-50% off coupons almost every week now-I took advantage of the 50% off any one item coupon and bought The Cinema of Peter Watkins Box set-I ended up paying 31 bucks with tax and shipping included-This box set is fantastic-the box is made of sturdy cardboard with a shiny gloss-the DVDs come with booklets that include articles and essays about the film-i.e. Edvard Munch comes with a 56 page booklet-The box set had to be back ordered but it was well worth the money and the three week wait!
