A while back on this list there was a thread about DVDs we would like to see released, and a few mentioned Tarkovsky's "Solaris" and "Stalker". I found a place that sells the Ruscico versions of these discs, for $36 each (much cheaper than the $50 price tag at Kim's Underground): http://www.mhvf.net/forum/russian.shtml The website says the discs are Region 0 encoded. Apparently the Region 1 disc of Stalker is being released by Image in October for $50: "RusCiCo's Stalker DVD is set to be distributed in North America (R1/NTSC) exclusively by IMAGE Entertainment. The release date is October 15, 2002, and the price tag is USD 49.95." (http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~tstronds/nostalghia.com/TheNews.html) Criterion is currently preparing "Solaris" with a bunch of interviews and deleted scenes as extras. (No word on their website though) Just placed an order, so I don't have any details about reliability, service, etc. Peace, Ben _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
