Criterion Unbearable Lightness of Being OOP??

I thought Unbearable Lightness of Being was an OOP Criterion title? I see that Amazon.ca has it on sale with a 20% off too! Whats up with this? Is it coming back into print again? I need to know before I blow $50+ on Ebay for it.

It's still OOP (and will likely remain so because of MGM's dvd release). There's just a lot of back stock that's not been sold from some stores yet.

Amazon.ca has a number of OOP Criterions erroneously listed for sale. It is true that there were still some copies of The Unbearable Lightness of Being in stock with some etailers about a year ago, but they're long gone. Ebay is likely your best bet (the MGM release is also long OOP).

Dang.... $50 on eBay? I didn't realize it has climbed so high. I saw a used copy a couple weeks ago for $18.

You could try ordering it and see if they actually have any in stock.

Heck, it's worth a shot, right?

No, there are only 2 Alliance distributed Criterions in Canada.

Last time I checked, the MGM version of "Unberable Lightness of Being" was out of print, too.

I have the Criterion version - just unwrapped it, actually, but I haven't watched it yet.

Is this going for big bucks now? I only bought it because it was like, $15 at DDD, and I try to pick up the OOP Criterions in case I ever want them. I've had this one for two years now and still haven't even watched it, so it can't exactly be calling to me.

I just sold my extra sealed copy on Ebay for $51 about 2 weeks ago. That is about the highest price I have seen it fetch in the past few months. An opened copy should get you in the $35 - $45 range.

Darn! Glad that I bought it for $16 at borders shortly after it went OOP, eventhough it wasn't on my to-buy list.
