Before the Rain DVD petition PLEASE SIGN
Before the Rain DVD petition PLEASE SIGN
n/a Sorry to start another thread about this film, but I feel it is warranted. A friend and I have started a petition (I know...another petition) to get Universal to release Milcho Manchevski's 1994 film "Before the Rain" to DVD. Since the days of laserdisc and when the film was in Polygram's hands, I have sought to get a higher resolution video release of this amazing film. Since Polygram's library shake-up it has taken a lot of research and a lot of calls to find the rights holder. This DVD is found nowhere in the world unless you were Quentin Tarantino and begged the Macedonian government for one of the 1,000 promotional DVD copies produced by the Macedonian Ministry of Culture in August last year (those copies are all gone--I tried). If you have never seen this film, it's an amazing work of art. It reflects the ongoing struggle in the Balkan region in a quite beautiful and moving way. The score by Anastasia is unbelievable. You owe it to yourself to at least find a VHS copy. But, please sign the petition so we can get Universal to release a DVD of this lost treasure. Maybe Criterion will also see the interest and pry this one from Universal's library since they do have a relationship. Here's a link to [URL="http://www.suntimes.com/ebert/ebert_reviews/1995/03/969362.html"]Ebert's [/URL] review. Here's a link to our [URL="http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?BR2004"]petition[/URL]. Thanks everyone for your help and if anyone knows a good DVD contact at Universal, please let me know. It will save that research .
