Available on DVD anywhere?
Is there someone out there who knows whether this terrific movie (I'm currently watching it for the 6th or 7th time) has been released on DVD anywhere?
It's about time!
For the 6th or 7th time!? On TV? It is the first time I've heard of it, great film. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the DVD.
shareWell, I saw it twice in a theater, at least three times on VHS (don't ask me where I got the cassette) and two more times on TV.
I love "Sophiiiie!"! The movie as a whole as well as Katharina Schüttler as an actress. What an amazing performance...
DVD please!!!
I saw it at Cinequest film festival in 2003. I loved it too.
I also would snap it up on DVD if I could (I need English subtitles, though.) I tried to send off some emails to various contacts mentioned for the film, but never got a reply. I keep checking from time to time.
I've never seen it on tv here in the USA. I assume you are in Europe somewhere?
Yep, I'm from Germany. Just like you I already sent out several e-mails to all kinds of people (production company, DVD-labels,...) bot none of them actually was very cooperative. Sad!
Nowadays every piece of crap gets released on DVD but somehow everyone seems to overlook a little masterpiece like "Sophiiiie!".
I'm still hoping, though, that at some point a small American independent label like Wellspring or Tla picks it up und puts it on DVD. That'd be so great!
Sadly, the film did so badly at the German box office, that the DVD release was shelved (there was one planned, and even some Making Of footage shot for that purpose).
I'm the DP, and very glad to see that this film has such enthusiastic fans (the reception was always a lot better abroad than it was in Germany). It's a shame the production company couldn't find the time to reply to the requests mentioned in this thread. If anyone is still interested in a DVD (I have one pulled from the Beta SP Master, but I don't know if I'm authorised to pass on copies) let me know, maybe I can help...
Wow, that would be so great!
Do you know if there are still chances for an official DVD-release and which label would it come from?
PS: Da Du somit vermutlich Deutscher bist könnten wir das ja eigentlich auch auf deutsch handhaben.
:-)
British, actually, but have lived in Germany for a loooong time.
Chances of a DVD release? About a hair's breadth from zero, I'd say. But send your address to [email protected] and once I've cleared it with the producer, I'll gladly send you a copy of my DVD.
