I will let you know when it is released on DVD--that is the only way I am going to see it myself unless I travel to France. Spain in general and places outside Barcelona and Madrid in particular are totally 3rd world when it comes to film. You get some local stuff (but not much, there does not seem to be much film production given the size of the Spanish-language market) and the standard Hollywood fare, mostly dubbed in Spanish. I go to the movies about once a year here, the rest is DVDs.
