Where can I buy The Venus trap

I´ve seen the venus trap a couple of times, and find it fascinating. It´s sensual, erotic and surreal (Notting Hill). I´ve rented it as video, but I haven´t seen any shops who has it.
Anyone who knows?

I do have a VHS, it has Swedish text only, released in Sweden in 1988 by Sandrew Film & Teater AB. If you can settle for that you should try to look for it in Sweden (Swedish eBay? Tradera.com?). My copy is (yet) not for sale.

Saigon... s**t! I'm still only in Saigon...

I have a VHS released in my country (Brasil), with subtitles in portuguese.
There are no DVD of this movie here.

I'm from Germany and the film isn't on DVD even here (a few other film by Robert van Ackeren are, though). But I own a DVD-Copy, made from a VHS-Recording of a TV-Airing which took place some years ago. The quality isn't excellent but it's quite good.

I simply adored this film immediately and I wish more people would get a chance to see it, it's probably one of the best German love stories of the 80ies (and I don't like this metier too much usually). It's like a poetic mix of Wong-Kar Wai, Woody Allen, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Andrzej Zulawski, Michelangelo Antonioni, the late Douglas Sirk and the early Paul Verhoeven, a very gentle, intelligent and hauntingly beautiful but subtle cinematic masterpiece.

Hi Weschingsdieder!
I haven't seen Die Venusfälle, but I've heard only good things about it. Could i possibly order a copy and for how much?
Best regards
