£40 is a bit steep.

That's the standard price for Second Sight 4k releases without the hardback books...

Still expensive for a slip.

I guess this will have Director's cut only as that seems to be the one that has been released elsewhere.

Shame not to get both versions as I prefer the minor rejigging of scenes of the theatrical cut personally.

Good to finally see the UK get this awesome film released on HD.

What a turnaround for this great film, years ago we only had the dvd and German blu ray, since then we got the novamedia slips, then a steelbook full slip now we get 4k. Definitely sticking in an order for this!

Found the tartan dvd in oxfam as a teenager while my dad was hunting for vinyls and I've loved this film ever since, hopefully we get more releases of great overlooked films like this.

top 5 in my list...

this is also a really nice edition : YESASIA: Image Gallery - A Bittersweet Life (Blu-ray) (Director's Cut) (Coffee Book) (First Press Limited Edition) (Korea Version)

Outstanding. Just barely missed out on the nova slip about a month ago. One of the best SK films, up there with Oldboy for me
