if anyone knows if or when this film is going to be released in canada on dvd please post it. i saw this film at the toronto film festival and i was great. i would love to own a copy so i could expose more people to fantastic scandanavian film making.
Easier said than done: Unless you have some decoding device, or a code-free DVD player, you can't watch European DVDs (area code 2) in the U.S. (area code 1). But the movie itself is definitely worth seeing! I saw it when I visited Finland, and I don't think there was a single dry eye among the audience - Kleenex time big time!
Region Free DVD players are widely and cheaply available in the USA. I run an international Video Store, and I import Region Free DVD players from the US to Canada, for my customers. No special TV is required, since the DVD player picks up automatically what TV system is being used.
This film was picked up in north america by film movement (www.filmmovement.com) and will be shipped to subscribers in april. It should be available for purchase by non subscribers in june/july timeframe.
