"Nightwatching" can't be too far away, especially if you live in Africa, Mongolia, or Ukraine. Plus, there's a book !

Harmonia,

I'm very interested in Greenaway's "Nightwatching" also. I'd read on the Imdb that the movie was released in "November, 2007 (Poland)". On the off chance, I tried Amazon and with partila success:

http://www.amazon.com/Nightwatching-Martin-Freeman/dp/B001ALD4CO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1217949388&sr=1-4

-and there it is on DVD- but is only on Region 5 format, and currently unavailable.

Region 5= Africa, Central and South Asia, Belarus, Mongolia, North Korea, Russia, Ukraine

But- close!

Meanwhile, Greenaway has done a 172-page book on the subject:

http://www.amazon.com/Peter-Greenaway-Nightwatching/dp/9086900135/ref=pd_cp_d_2?pf_rd_p=413864101&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001ALD4CO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0RNKB2EJW3FMH1F0NAFM

-perhaps this can tide us over,...

Cheers,

Bambi B

...a yahoo Greenaway group. Someone there has gotten the Russian DVD fairly recently so it's available.

Don't think there's much chance of seeing this in theaters, unless there's a local filmfest.

The book was released August 1.

  Harmonia,
  
  I've been to the official Greenaway site, which has a fuller description of "Nightwatching" :
  
  http://www.petergreenaway.info/content/view/63/64/
  
  -but in the section for buying films reffers again to the unavailable Amazon Polish release.
  
  There is a contact address and I've written asking for a DVD source.
  
  Cheers,

LOL! Africa, Mongolia, or Ukraine. - Harmonia 12:31:24 08/05/08 (0)
Good news on the book.

I have been out of the loop this year - but I hope NW will hit a special screening in Chicago or one of the filmfests.

Greenaway's movies really need to be seen on the big screen.
