Sokurov's Madam Bovary

[Tatyana Buzina]

Hello,
apparently, it has not been released officially. THere's a bootleg copy floating out there, unfortunately, from what I found, it can be ordered in Russia only. If your friend has friends in Russia who'd be willing to help him/her, it would be possible to order it in SPb and then mail it on to Edinburgh. 
Here's the link for what it's worth.

Good luck,
Tatyana

>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,
