Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story preview on "56 UP" documentary is wonderful! Not sold in USA Region 1 format?,

There seem to be problems for USA people getting this at an OK price in an OK format.......

Not sold in USA Region 1 format (July 29013)?

Why?

The sales pitch I saw for this movie (previews only, not the entire movie) got me interested.

I can't afford the prices now charged for the Region 2 version now sold by Amazon.Com

Please get this movie available in the USA in a Region 1 DVD format!

It seems like a possibly very important treatment of art by an important, worthy (if eccentric and far out....aren't they all?) artist!

If anyone knows of a USA Region 1 format DVD for sale of this movie, contact me please. I will be grateful. Email below:

Your review isn't really a review of the film, it's just a constant rant about DVD formats!
How about reviewing the film, if you've managed to see it?
Thanks,

My words about the film were not a "rant." There were intelligent considered communication about the non-availablility of ths film....which I could not see due no Region 1 release of it.

Finally, the movie WAS released and I DID see it, and will change the review to a "proper review" of the film (which waa/ is very good...compare it to the excellent CRUMB (1996 and CONFRESSIONS OF ROBERT CRUMB 1987 documentaries....also about a famous 1960's illustrator who left the USA...now lives in France, just like Tomi Ungerer!)

Thanks for your kind (if intemperately worded) communication!
