I've been waiting for this to be made available in either the U.S. or the U.K. on DVD for sometime now; frankly, I am surprised that Criterion has not put this title out. That said, this definitely isn't the DVD you want; I hear that there are downloads of much superior video quality than this. Apparently this was transferred from a video tape; the picture is fuzzy with very poor detail. Presumably the "official" release for this title on DVD (as of this writing 27 June 2011) will be of superior quality, so it is wise to pass on this one. UPDATE: I contacted Axiom Films in regard to the version that was slated for a June release for several months, but now suddenly has no release date. A representative informed me that the title was no longer on their release schedule, and provided no further details. Even in France it is only available from a third-party, and it doesn't exactly look official. So the wait goes on...

I have waited forever for this film on dvd as it is one of my favorite films. I decided on this version because it is region free while the upcoming release appears to be region locked. While this dvd is an improvement over my faded 30 year old VHS copy. It is not that much of an improvement with the quality of the dvd being about that of an average VHS copy.While not unwatchable the dvd quality is poor. I hope to someday purchase this film on Blu Ray or a well mastered DVD so I can finally retire my faded VHS copy.If you love this film this region free dvd is probably not what you are looking for.

I have been trying to get hold of this film for many years having first seen it in probably the 1970s and absolutely loving it. I was very pleased when my husband gave me a copy for my birthday recently as I had been told it was unavailable by many people. However on watching it, it quickly became clear that the translation had been very badly done - laughable almost, which almost spoilt it for me. Such a shame to ruin a lovely film in this way.
