^yeah i am really pissed off its been at the top of my Netflix list since its release and I went to get it at Movie Gallery with a coupon i had for a free rental and no luck. I even asked if they had it or were planning on getting it and they said no. I can't belive some of the shit they have (and the number of copies of the shit) and not a single sopy of this film. No wonder they are going out of business.

Interesting... I ordered it through CH and had it two days after release. My local mom and pop has about 10 copies for rent.
Fantastic film. So far, it's somewhere in my top 5 for 2007...

Any word on this coming to R1?
Here is the Amazon.co.uk listing:

And on there it says:
Here is a very short video clip of what the set looks like:

Yeah, a two-disc set with no extras beyond a half-hour documentary (which isn't that great to begin with -- it's already on the R1 HD releases) barely justifies its own existence. Maybe the booklet is really, really, really good.
As for a director's cut, I haven't seen anything about that -- Dominik says he did several different versions, but he was happy with what actually got released. The studio tried to remove him from the project, but none of the other guys they brought in could do anything with the footage. So the current DVD is a director's cut.

I didn't expect to like it that much either, and I thought it would just be "OK" at best. Boy was I in for a treat. Definitely one of, if not the best film of 2007.
