Sokurov's Madam Bovary

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear colleagues,

A colleague of mine who teaches French and European cinema at the  
University of Edinburgh is very keen to find a copy of Sokurov's film  
based on the novel "Madame Bovary". The film was produced in 1989; the  
title is "Spasi i sokhrani". It received several international prizes  
and was severely criticised in Russia for being asocial and  
indifferent to the aesthetic needs of the perestroika period. I've  
found a few interesting responses to this film in various Russian  
journals, etc. but I can't find any references to a DVD or VHS copy of  
this film. My colleague would like to obtain a copy of it for one of  
her postgraduate courses.
I will appreciate your help very much.

All very best,
Sasha Smith
