Is this on DVD anywhere? Will it ever be?

The movie is on DVD in Spain -- I am watching it over there right now as part of one of my classes while studying abroad. As far as I know, the DVD is readily available in Spain, but does not include any subtitles (at least the version that I have).

One important note on it though -- the movie looks every bit from 1983 -- the DVD does not lend any digital quality. I suppose this is due to a bad original, but watching the DVD is the same as watching a semi-worn out filmstrip or videotape.

I hope this helps.

Since the Criterion Collection released Erice's "The Spirit of the Beehive" last year, there is hope that they'll look into his other works, namely this film. I have not seen it yet, however the stills that I have seen look incredible. I would advise everyone who would like to see this film in the U.S. to visit criterionco.com and hit title suggestions under the "ask jon mulvaney" section. Also visit criterionforum.com to see if it is in the rumored titles section. Here's hoping for a DVD release!

It's available on emule.




This story is already over

I found it on eBay. But no subtitles!

Criterion just confirmed that they're working on this title on their Facebook page.

I've bought from the guy, and the service is very reliable. The copy I bought is good, with English subtitle. Of course, no extras or anything, but well worth the price, until something else comes out.

We could have high times
if you'll abide

Am now sitting to watch a very clean, EST copy I got for $5.25 from a very reliable seller on Ioffer. It is a "legal" print, sometimes the only way to view rare titles.

Spanish Blu-Ray/DVD combo with English subs with this film and Spirit is on the way...
