I didn't know that.There's lots of stuff that Germany had or has that the U.S. did / does not
Germans have no idea how priveleged they are in some respects!
Quite an important cut though!ghost wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 4:48 pmThanks for the hint. I didn't know that it was cut. But it's only a short cut.g2g2g2g2 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 10:46 am Has some one the uncut version in HD?
The 3.6 GB Version is cut at around 19:35 before Malena steps into the bathtube. The last steps were cut off
I found this uncut version in lower quality:

Same company later released a blu-ray.

The U.S. release by Meridian has a Noel Films logo on the back and claims "Original Director's Vision - Unrated & Uncut." It has the Making Of featurette and the director's commentary. It may not be the same disc master, but it looks like it should be at least the same version of the movie. But I only have your 20Gb uploaded disc so I don't know for certain.
I am assuming it is BECAUSE different rights holders have distribution in different territories. The smaller American owners may lack the competence or resources to manage home video releases. If a foreign distributor seeks out titles from another country, they likely have the motivation and ability to fully exploit its potential earnings, both theatrically and for the home. It is because a lower budget film got sold overseas that there is a release. "Blonde girl from 'Kick-Ass' in another movie carrying a gun? Ja, we'll buy it!" It works on both sides of the Atlantic. Way back in the olden days, low budget producer Roger Corman in the U.S. would buy the American distribution rights for little-known genre films from Western Europe or the Soviet bloc, re-edit and dub them, and turn them into drive-in successes in America. Dude knew his audience.For whatever reason a lot of movies not made in Germany are available there in blu-ray, and sometimes nowhere else. I wonder what quirk of international distribution created this situation?
I do think it has to do with Germany always having had many & strong small and big distributors. And generally a fairly healthy, wealthy film industry (domestic films even get a ton of funding from the state/government).deadman wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 8:21 pm
I do remember trying to find the Chloe Moretz film Hick (2011) on blu-ray, and despite being an American production it is still not available in the US ... but there's a German edition. That's not the only time I've seen this. Just the only specific title I remember off the top of my head.

Like you, I've ordered from most of the Amazons. Germany, the UK, Italy, France, Canada. And of course ebay. Swedish films are often only available from vendors in Sweden but there are a number of well established sites. Ordering directly from a small studio is a crapshoot. The disc might never arrive, or it might be low quality. No guarantees. Shipping though ... you're right, that's been going up like crazy! In some cases it more than doubles the cost of ordering an item internationally.
