This film is a bit of a rarity in collector circles, with its distribution largely limited to European markets upon release. Over the years, the film has garnered a following, but finding a decent quality print or preservation is a challenge, which adds to its allure among collectors. Various formats have emerged, but many are plagued by subpar quality or are hard to track down. If you stumble across a well-preserved copy, it might not be a bad idea to hold onto it, given the interest in lesser-known European cinema from this era.
