is that the Fremantle Media region 0?
When is this getting a propoer bd/dvd release? I own the OoP dvd that was cropped to 4:3 and it is virtually unwatchable...but the only way I've experienced this wonderfully idosyncratic biopic.
Fairly focused fantasia on Mahler with some lovely moments of tenderness and sensitivity fair nearly crushed by the over-extended vulgarities of the 'Conversion' sequence. On balance a broadly successful exploration of the themes, motifs and factors adding-up to the music and blessed with some strong leading performances from Powell and Hale. Russell appears invigorated by the limited budget.
