Heres what i found out.

I checked a number of highstreet and online stores with no success. I then emailed probably the biggest music/film distributer at their main London office, and also some bloke who claimed he could get it or find a way to get it. Both of these said they would send me a reply whatever the outcome. This was on Tuesday but so far have not heard anything. There is still a chance they will get back to me but when this will be i don't know.

well now, hows about that. Just when i had given up, one of my emails arrives. According to the supplier, "this film has been discontinued and so we are unable to sell you a copy at this time". Luckily, from the sound of it, it was available at one time and so there should be some copies knocking around somewhere. I can only suggest that we all keep looking and if we are lucky enough to find a supply to let everyone else know. There again my 2nd email may arrive with some better news, although i'm not holding my breath lol.

I must admit that I was quite surprised to find that my second email had arrived this morning. This guy who does know his stuff had little to say but reading between the lines, this is how things stand at the moment.

When the film was first released (at the cinema) there was also a general release (format not know). However, the distribution company involved didn’t renew or gave up the distribution rights, probably because they didn’t make enough money. I mean look at this message board…there ain’t much interest is there? Anyway, the company who made the film are currently trying to find another distributor to re-release the film, but as yet have been unsuccessful.

The outcome of this is that there were a number of copies made and released, and sometime in the future there may be further copies released. Until then, the only thing left to do is to keep on searching for those elusive copies that were initially released.

There is an alternative but it is a long shot. According to one of the links, My Brother Tom is being shown on TV again. The trouble is it is being shown on S4C a welsh channel, and so unless you live in Wales or know someone who does and will tape it for you, this information isn’t much use. If you do have access to S4C it is on Monday 20th September at 03:20.

Finally, my computer is going in for a service tomorrow and so I will be off-line for a few days. If anything does come of S4C, or an alternative source is found please let me know and I will pick up your message as soon as I get my computer back. In the mean time, I’ll keep on searching.

I'm currently searching for a copy of this movie too...I saw it when it was on T.V a while ago and didn't enjoy it at all. But I've been thinking about it ever since and I realise that although 'enjoying' it in the usual sense may not be what you're likely to get from this movie, I did in fact get a lot from it. It made a great impression on me and I'm very glad I watch it.
I'd also like to see it again, it's a shame that no-one's currently distributing it.
I shall keep looking and if I find a possible source I'll let you guys know.

reply

I too am trying to get hold of a copy. If I do manage to, I'd be happy to make a rip and send it to you guys (over the internet). Conversely if any of you get hold of one I'd be interested in getting hold of it.

I've searched everywhere on the internet and can't find it. This is the best film I've ever seen and left me with such a strange feeling. If anyone does find it, please e-mail me at

Maybe we could email one of the actors and see if they know where it is?

reply

i guess im in the same boat.. saw the movie this past October and absolutely loved it, and am trying hard to find a copy.. please email me as well if it is found. Thanks so much!

Has anyone found this film? I'm looking, too. [email protected]

reply

I am so desperate to find this film and have been searching for ages, has anyone got any news on it?

reply

hey everyone, i too saw this film on channel 4 a year or two ago and it absoloutly blew me away.
I think the best bet for now is to get on ebay and see if a copy comes up there, there was one on not to long ago and im sure another copy might come on soon.

I just got it on Amazon for just over a tenner, (I'm in the UK), import from Germany but it is in English. Just try Amazon.

reply

Are there any subtitles for movie on DVD (doesn't matter which language)?

I also bought this DVD from Amazon for a tenner from Germany-it has German subtitles but has the original english soundtrack-and is absolutely amazing.If ever there was a film to show teenage abuse and the consequences of no adult wanting to know why its happening watch this film.Ben Whishaw is captivating from beginning to end as is Jenna Harrison-its easy to see why he is such a rising star in the acting world as this performance is 10 years old and he just keeps getting better and better.Please watch it and I assure you it will be in your head for a long time.(keep a box of tissues hanndy coz I was in floods by the end credits)

reply

Bagpuss, could you please rip subtitles from DVD and upload them anywhere (opensubtitles.com for example)? I think many people would you be grateful for that. If there are at least any subtitles (doesn't matter if german or others) translators can start work on different subtitles.

Just got it off Amazon UK for under £10 including postage. Other than that it's on e-bay, but it cost nearly £30.


reply

It's funny because I have like 10 copies (at least) in my house somewhere

reply

Ten years too late for the original poster (LOL) but this film is currently being sold at the HMV store where I work, so it's likely it's sold in other HMV stores, or can at least possibly be ordered from them; hope this helps anyone knew looking to buy it. It's about 6.99 in store.

reply

About 10 years too late, but if you are still interested -

AMAZON.COM USA

This seems like an incredible dark movie. I've seen brief clips of it on YouTube.

NOTE: The DVD at the link above is to a PAL/Region 0 version.

reply

Actually I found and bought a copy of MY BROTHER TOM on DVD in NTSC (USA). It is a pretty dark movie. I bought the NTSC copy on Amazon.
