Oh, that's unfortunate for Geller and Goldfine -- I hope that they aren't too disappointed. They made an absolutely wonderful film that is a beautiful testament to Leonard Cohen and his incomparable art, and they win all the awards in my book!

Ian I don't think the film that you can order on US Amazon works in the UK or Europe.
I was going to order one for my sister in law in Holland but I read somewhere it won't work. Not sure if that has changed now or where to find out but check Amazon in the US as they sell it.
Good luck!
If you find one that will work with the system in Europe please post it so I can get it for her.

Hi Leslie

Thanks for getting back to me.

There’s an Amazon marketplace seller in Germany which has it,

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B ... XIBH&psc=1

and the product description includes this:

Product description
TV-Norm: SDTV 576i (PAL). Sprachversion: Englisch DD 5.1 (PAL being the system used in the UK)

And a reviewer says this:

“Claudia Weiher
5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for Cohen fans
Reviewed in Germany on 25 February 2023
Verified Purchase
Contrary to some claims, the DVD runs perfectly in conventional German DVD players. In terms of content, the film is informative, well worth seeing for diehard Cohen fans, but they won't find much new. The comments made by his contemporary witnesses are interesting”

But I’m not wholly convinced, so I’ve contacted the seller to see if they can advise.

Here’s hoping.

I’ll keep you in the loop.

Ian

The seller responded: 20-Mar-2023 04:15

Well, the DVD arrived today, and it plays perfectly.

Sold by Amazon EU and definitely a Region 2.
