I think a lot of it has to do with cost and access to decent materials. I don't think AE generally produce their own masters, so instead buy a master created by another company and then release it.

I think AE may be releasing a box set of his films though if you want to wait. If not, Criterion has released Ivan's Childhood and Solaris and Kino have released Nostalghia.

I'm 99% certain the only option is to play the extended version.

The UK Steelbook contains 2 Blu discs - 1 disc is the same as the previous release and 1 disc is the extended cut. Discs are not very well labelled though.

I could use some advice from the locals, i have been wanting to watch a failm for YEARS called Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky, but even the VHS has a nasty high price but i won;t pirate the movie as i think im going to really enjoy it and i want my first viewing to be as clear and crisp as i can get it.

here is my problem the film is so expensive -why did Artificial Eye not reprint more copies? does anyone know where i can get a cheap copy to watch?

artificial eye released a boxset of his in 2011 but it seems the folks on ebay have broken the set down and are selling each film from the set at crazy prices.

i need a bit of help, also does anyone think someone like Arrow would be interested in picking up this film? Stalker i mean?

I'm happy to wait mate, i think i have been wanting to watch Stalker for about 5 years now, a little longer won't hurt. AE released a box set of his films in 2011 but that seems to be OOP and quite expensive. Is there any way of me knowing when they plan to release the next set so i don;t miss out mate? a newsletter maybe? i will have a look at their website.

There hasn't been any official announcement yet. I doubt the set will be limited when they do announce though.

I will grab a copy of it when it hits the stores, they don;t seem to have a newsletter or anything to show new releases, i just hope i don't forget and find it when it's released. Do you know if it;s just the dvd film on Blu-Ray or a new transfer?
