Where are the Virzi' films on DVD in the uk...


Ok since I love both Virzi'and Roberta Torre for their ability to critisize society with shocking ease and of course without sacrificing any other element, I would like to be able to get more films by either of the two.

They are incredibly hard to find in the UK however, even as rental its almost impossible apart from "Angela" by Torre which I enjoyed. I think the retailers and rental companies should stock up on more modern titles, it looks stupid to me as the "modern" arthouse film market seems to be inundated by Japanese and French directors. True that Neo-realism was born in Italy, but also true that those directors are now a thing of the past, they are not the only ones existing and to be honest I don't always (if ever) fancy watching "Salo" "8 1/2" or something by the Taviani brothers.

There are many emerging solid italian directors why not have more films by them?

If you can add to this or tell me what the situation is regarding other countries like America I would very much appreciate it, thanks for reading...

From Paris I have already bought DVDs online from Italian vendors without any problems.
I looked up the 3 following sites for Baci e abbracci (Kisses and Hugs).
It is available with English subtitles.
