It’s definitely a film that stands out for its themes of loss and love amidst adversity.

Finding 'Beyond the Cities' on a physical format can be a bit tricky. It seems to have had limited releases over the years, so it’s one of those titles that collectors keep an eye on, especially in good condition.
