Sex Power French DVD-RI debated whether to add this, but the movie can be bought now, albeit on a DVD-R. And I am glad for it because the release of this DVD finally dispells some myths about the movie.  Henri Chapier's second film is not a soft-porn film as suggested by some journalists! The movie is quite good and relies much more on imagery than dialogue and questions certain assumptions about the 60s, such as free love and the peace movement, all collapsing with the ongoing Vietnam War.  One man's search for freedom in the USA leads to a certain realization (at least, in my interpretation) that is inevitable.  Besides, Jane Birkin is truly beautiful!  The soundtrack by Vangelis is perfect-simple melodies and haunting phrases throughout.  I'm glad that there is interesting in the film.  It was recently remastered by Chapier but this DVD is not remastered.  The print is a bit dirty in spots but nothing so significant as to not warrant buying it.  The DVD-R is available through the French website ina.fr.  Go to their boutique, do a search for it and you will surely find it! Sadly, they do not provide any artwork for the case.

UPDATE: There is now a commercial release of this movie, thanks to the fine folks at Doriane Films! Thanks!!!
