Hi Marc,
We recently purchased this film, and the only copy we could find was the
Korean version. I took a close look at it when it arrived to make sure
it wasn't dubbed in Korean or anything, and found it to be an acceptable
copy. The menu and case may confuse some patrons, but anyone who needs
to watch the film for their research or screen it in a class will be
fine with it. (We were simply seeking the film for the collection, so I
don't have any input on how you would procure public performance rights.)
Good luck,
--

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
