i collect film on super 8 and and manage to snag a full length print of this one last week on e bay . it look like at least for the moment and this be the only way to see this film in a country have ntsc video . i have see it available on region 2 dvd many time and but never region 1. i just finish watch it a few minute ago and i be amaze by it . it a powerful testament to freedom and find your own place in the world . the photography and music be wonderful and and i really felt empathy for some of the character . i kind of like the idea that i be probably the only one in the usa watching when the north wind blow tonight . long live avakum .
