What year is Anzapta set in?
IMDB's plot summary says it's set in 1384.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0284851/
Play.com's review says it's set in 1348

And as long as I'm asking questions, Why in the name of God hasn't this come out in a Region 1 format?
The movie is set in 1384. "England, 1384" is shown on screen about 2 minutes into the movie when Lena Headey's character, Matilda, first appears.
Also, at the end of the movie, the following text is shown:
"FOR A WHOLE YEAR AN ALL-DESTROYING PESTILENCE SPREAD ACROSS ENGLAND.
BY THE END OF 1349 THE LIVING WERE HARDLY ABLE TO BURY THE DEAD.
ALMOST HALF THE POPULATION DIED."
Actually, I just bought my copy from Amazon.co.uk, it's a Region 0 DVD, meaning there is no region restriction. However, it is PAL format, which means if your US-bought player & TV only supports NTSC (not multi-system), then it cannot be played properly. Though you should be able to play it on your PC DVD-drive with no problem.
Details of the DVD on Amazon.co.uk:

That's interesting...
You say:

ALMOST HALF THE POPULATION DIED."
Seems to me that if the year is 1349 after a whole year of death, the beginning year should be 1348, which is what I saw when I looked at the screen about two minutes into the movie. It's also what I see in the plot synopsis on Amazon.com, but here on IMDB, it says 1384.
So are you sure it's 1384, and not 1348? I think IMDB ought to make a slight edit to some of their info here.
Actually it says 1348 in the beginning.
