You can get "Reflecting Skin" on DVD from Japan. Region 2. NTSC. Anamorphic.
"Passion of Darkly Noon" is also on DVD in Japan, but it's pan-and-scan.
The original was 2.35:1 according to IMDB, so you lose 43.4% of the image.
One or both discs may be out of print. They will probably cost dearly.
There are companies in the USA that rent foreign region DVDs by mail. -

The Japanese VHS edition is also widescreen, and you don't have to worry about regions Tho' obviously the DVD is better

There is of course the german version of the DVD. Available for only 5,- at amazon.de. Sadly, its just with the german track and without foreign subs (just german). Watched it today, qualitys fine. Its Region Code 2, fullscreen 4:3.

i think this is the best pre-lotr movie viggo was in (another being sean penn's "the indian summer") he really hasn't been in much of anything good a lot of b movies. he's career's really only starting now in his 40s with a fine performance in "a history of violence". i would like to see this film on dvd. it's not everybody. not even the weird stuff really (it's not THAT much like david lynch's work. everyone says that. david lynch doesn't have a monopoly on "weird" and "artsy") but i think that the film would be considered to melodramatic and over the top for some. it works for me but it might not for others.

the US.

That avi file is most likely a rip from the Japanese DVD. The Spanish DVD has dramatically better picture quality, but unfortunately does not have the original English audio. There are plans for a Special Edition to be released in the UK though, that will hopefully redress the balance.

Go to ghosthousefilms.com for a cheap copy of RS. I'm pretty sure it's taken from a DvD because the quality is pretty great, surprisingly. I think I paid $9.00 or less! It's in English no subs.
