Where do you live, Mews? You don't have to tell me the exact place. I take it your local theater only plays blockbusters. That's not unusual even with a town like ours, which has three multiplexes. Over two dozen screens, altogether, but they all play the same stuff. It's like fast-food chains all having the same menu. Our only "independent film" theater folded last year. Or did you mean your town might refuse to show it? In the U.S., I haven't heard the film being actually withdrawn from a theatrical engagement (anticipating public protests), except one place in Utah. Even in Utah it has been doing very well in Salt Lake City, or so I hear.

It is a film with a lot of elegiac moments, relying on expansive shots of scenery to establish mood. It certainly benefits from being seen on a big screen. But, SO many scenes involve interaction between characters, which use close and medium shots, it still should come across beautifully on a DVD. (I've already put my name in to buy one from Amazon, when it comes available.)
