Is TESS still available from another region? (1 Viewer)

[Dick]

I know that Polanski's 1979 TESS was once available on DVD from another region. The Korean edition is OOP. Does anyone know if it is currently available elsewhere?

Don't know, but I have wondered the same thing. I have seen this exactly once, in a theater when it was first released, and would love to see it again, done properly. Just a terrific movie.

It's coming out in the UK on 23rd August with an RRP of £12.99. According to the specs I've seen it'll be full 2.35:1 anamorphic.

Any info on extras?

Why is this not out here yet?

Columbia kindly gave us MACBETH,
and I presume they still control TESS.

I'll take a wild guess. This is a very long, very slow moving story that is not upbeat. Perhaps Columbia feels that this sort of story will not sell these days. :frowning:
