* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: It was almost impossible to find an official copy of the film in North America, making it among the most sought-after titles and keeping the film in relative obscurity; even bootlegged copies were marred with poorly restored footage and dicey subtitling (if any were available at all), if you were lucky to find a full version of the film at all, and discs that were available tended to fetch a high price. The Criterion Collection released a full, restored version in 2015 for the United States, making it the first time in two decades the film was officially available to American cinephiles.
