Can't find this anywhere


Anyone selling/willing to sell this? Live in UK but I can play any region, and am dying to see this!

I bought it at CDJapan.
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=KIBF-5077

They also have it at http://www.hmv.co.jp and http://www.play-asia.com and probably some other online shops but these I know for sure to be reliable.
If you don't have a creditcard, I recommend CD-Japan or Play-asia since they also accept Paypal.

The Japanese DVD is Region 2 and has English subtitles btw(and optional alternate narration by Ayako Fujitani as well as an optional different ending) so you should be able to play it without problems.

It's not cheap but then again the movie is definitely worth it.

Unbelievable. Definitely as brilliant as All About Lily Chou-Chou. I can't believe this isn't bigger or more well known. Arrived in the mail really quick too.

Good to hear it worked out :) Lily Chou-Chou is indeed also wonderful.

You might also like Hana-Bi, Dolls and Crying Out Love In The Center Of The World. Check them out if you haven't seen them :)

Has anyone checked out the Shunji Iwai box set? (he played the starring role)
You can find it on ebay for about $40 US.

It includes Shiki-jitsu, but I think it's a Korean release, so there are no guarantees about quality, subtitles, or special features such as the alternate ending (which I really want to see).

CD Japan is now out-of-stock, but I was able to get a last copy from Amazon Japan last week. The official Japanese DVD has a great picture, sound, and English subtitles. Although, for those of us outside of Japan, they only do 2-day shipping which is around $35, but I have no regrets for paying $60USD, and Amazon US/CA/UK/JP is tops. Ritual is definitely worth it.

Or you can go the much cheaper Region-Free Hong Kong DVD route on Ebay (US). Do a DVD search for "Shunji Iwai" and there is an 11 DVD box set for $35 or an 18 DVD box set for $60 containing all of his movies and a documentary.
