Loved it, can't find DVD


Having lived in Italy for many years, the movie Good Morning Babylon had special meaning for me, particularly in the neuances. The movie was absolutely charming. I knew people like the brothers who had similar wonderfully inventive mentality and drive. Although I have it on VHS, I wanted it on DVD but couldn't find.

It was released in France in 2004 in a superb print from the Studio mk2, but is now out-of-print.

You may still be able to find a copy from some European sellers.

Note that the DVD only has subtitles in French for the entire film, including those portions that are in Italian. It is also Region 2 only, so you'll need a region-free DVD player.

Hi, I saw the cover, and the elephant on fire made me wary, as I cannot watch cruelty to animals. As someone who has seen this film, I would be very grateful if you might tell me if that was just the "artwork" or if this film does have scenes with cruelty to animals. Thank you much.

The elephant was fresco, it's not a real elephant.

Hi! Thanks so much for your response. (I can't bear to watch films with cruelty to animals.)
Have a wonderful day!
