I got the British DVD quite some time ago. And making most DVD-players region free is usually a rather simple affair. Though, I would love to see this on Blu-Ray. I mean. It's shot on 16mm. And I'm fairly certain they could rescan most of it even if there are sections that have video compositing. So a really decent 1080p master should be able to be produced... Though, it is hard to sell these things so I guess it is a matter of cost of printing and distributing the discs more than a matter of making an HD master.

There are obviously a lot of amazing things in this one scene, but I think one of my favourite little details is how poorly composed the over-the-shoulder shots are - Thornton is so far into the frame that you can see the other shoulder, isn't close enough to the camera to give Dag's face more space, and the angle suggests that they either couldn't or just didn't bother to raise the camera up to match Thornton's height.

In Scandinavia, we know the word ting which means council or meeting. Similar to Latin forum. So the English word thing becomes a synonym to the word object, because in ancient times "object" refers to a body that decides or judges, another relic from the past which has given us terms used in linguistics.
