Once again, for some reason; I thought THIS movie was already on FLM.

IMDB lists the country of origin as: Belgium / Luxembourg / West Germany. Since Belgium is first on the list, I'll request it here!

IMDB link:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0089355/

Synopsis:

A mystery drama about two men traveling from Belgium to Istanbul; one a guilt-ridden fugitive from the police, the other a student who befriends the wandering refugee.

Istanbul -- where one man's adventure is another's salvation...

Brad Dourif, in his most poignant role since his Oscar nominated performance in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", stars as Marin Klamski, a man haunted by his past.

Martin, an outcast from society, is determined to reach Istanbul where he believes he will find redemption. Along his journey, he meets Willy, a student working in Belgium during his vacation. Willy, impressed by Martin's intensity and fascinated by his tales of Istanbul decides to join him for the adventure of a lifetime.

But, Willy's curiosity about Martin's mysterious past leads him to a shocking newspaper article and the realization that he must take control.

An intriguing portrayal of two men, playing the game of Truth.

Along the way they try to help a man by kidnapping his daughter back from his ex-wife.

I've had this one on VHS for years, but my copy has gone bad!!

I wish they would release it on DVD. (The VHS was pretty much half and half; Dutch and English. This was an English release, so the Dutch was subbed.)

Hopefully someone with the ability to rip it HAS it, or someone will come across an ed2k link...

It IS on DVD.

I'm not sure about where to buy it but ebay might be a start if you search international. It might be possible to order it online from Belgium or Holland.

The dvd has English subtitles.

Yes it IS on DVD, and I happen to have it. So I stumbled upon my rip, and accidently put it in my eMule shared folder - oops, sorry!

This must be one of the most weird movies I've ever seen. Makes no sense to me - however the cute Charlotte is worth the wait (she enters after 50 minutes or so..) . check out this link:

Thank YOU, popdrome!!!

In my search for this film, I found that YES, it had been released on DVD... But unfortunantly it's a European release and I couldn't find any sellers that shipped to America. Even checking eBay, I found a couple of copies available, but the sellers would only ship to 'Europe'...

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Yes, this is an odd, offbeat movie, but I really loved Brad's character and I was moved by the passion that drove him in his quest!

Regardless, though, I am STILL on an all out search to obtain the DVD at some point!

hiya Kev, I bought my copy a while ago on this site:
http://www.proxis.be/
and I'm positive they ship worldwide.
Right now I can't find it in their catalogue but I'm sure they can order for you if you drop them an e-mail.
