can i just say..


this film is so amazing. it's my top five movies of the last decade. for a movie with such critical acclaim, why didn't it have a wider release? i can't even buy it on dvd..

reply

Its release unfortunately coincided with 9/11, and it was pulled from theaters due to the controversial subject matter.

The director blames its limited distribution on a negative response from the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

I saw the film on a rented DVD a few years ago. I agree with you that it deserves wider recognition.

It's one of my all time favourite films. Such a shame that so few people have heard of it

I tend to think American History X also overshadowed it a little.

AHX is easier for dumb people to understand. The Believer is a little too intellectual for the masses. =/
