5.0 out of 5 stars
My copy played well...
Just a note to inform you that this is a Hong Kong Release, not Japanese. My copy played very well. These imports have a tendency to not play well in older dvd players. Make sure you have a recent model (2-years or less) dvd player. A beautiful film... In the beginning of the 19th century, Johannes Elias Alder is born in a small village in the Austrian mountains...

GOOD MOVIE: WRONG REGION
This is the only DVD version of this movie that I am aware of and it is region ALL, not region 1. Does not play properly on US player. Soundtrack misallocated and no center channel dialog. Have to restart movie after every chapter and change subtitles back to English. Taiwanese junk, not Japanese. Buy only if you are desperate for DVD or stick with VHS.

This review is from: Brother of Sleep (DVD)
Just a note to inform you that this is a Hong Kong Release, not Japanese. My copy played very well. These imports have a tendency to not play well in older dvd players. Make sure you have a recent model (2-years or less) dvd player. A beautiful film... In the beginning of the 19th century, Johannes Elias Alder is born in a small village in the Austrian mountains. While growing up he is considered strange by the other villagers and discovers his love for music, especially playing the organ at the local church. After an accident his eye color changes and his hearing becomes so sensitive that he can hear even the most subtle sounds. Elias falls in love with Elsbeth, the sister of Peter, a neighbor's son, who also has loving feelings towards him. After Elsbeth marries someone else, Elias (aged 22) decides to end his life by not sleeping anymore. 1996 Golden Globes Best Foreign Language Film.
