Region 2 DVD?


After checking every so often on Amazon I see that this great film is finally being re-released on DVD for region 2 (Europe). The link is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kaos-2-Dvd-Ciccio-Ingrassia/dp/B0056KTZFK/ref= cm_cr_pr_product_top
However, it says "currently unavailable", even though the release date listed on the Italian Amazon site (where it's also unavailable) is 21 June 2011 -- at the time of writing well over seven months ago. Does anyone have any idea what's happening to this, and when it will finally be out?

Ok, the above release is now available, but seems to be an Italian release with no mention of subtitles in other languages. Does anyone know if there are any?

And now there is now *another* region 2 release out, this one apparently with subtitles only in Spanish (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kaos-Antonutti-Lozano/dp/B0041OQ7YY/ref=sr_1_1 ?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1370113848&sr=1-1&keywords=taviani+ kaos) -- again, unless anyone can confirm that perhaps this disc has English subtitles?

How long before someone finally puts English subtitles on a region 2 disc?!

reply

So, has anyone seen any of these DVDs? Do any of them have English subtitles?

reply

Ok, I've finally got confirmation that the release linked to in my first post at the top does *not* have English subtitles (see various comments from Amazon buyers there).

Very pleased to report it's finally been released, along with Padre Padrone and Night of the Shooting Stars, with English subtitles in a boxed set along with blu-ray versions -- see https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vittorio-Taviani-Padrone-Shooting-Blu-ray/dp/B01CO1V8SK/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1
I've bought and watched it and the whole package is excellent, highly recommended.
