Написал письмо в Критерион с просьбой выпустить тираж "Иди и смотри" в зоне С. Девушка с типично американским именем Ксения (хи-хи), очевидно, с их же сайта скопипастив инфу, касающуюся региональных кодировок, предложила мне, по сути, поискать плеер с нужной зоной))))
Hi,
Thank you for reaching out and for your interest!
Please note that we do not distribute our titles outside of US, Canada (Region A) and UK (Region B) at this time.
Our Blu-ray release of COME AND SEE is actually Region A/B, so if you're able to locate a player that works for either of those regions, it will work for you.
To clarify further -- our distribution rights are limited to the United States and Canada, and that is why all discs on Criterion.com are encoded Region 1 for DVDs, Region A for Blu-rays. We cannot sell outside these territories on Criterion.com. Select Region B and Region 2 discs are distributed in the UK via distributors like Amazon UK and HMV.
What further complicates COME AND SEE is that while we would like to officially release it in the UK, we are unable to distribute it there due to a ratings issue -- the BBFC (British Board of Film Classifications) has strict rating guidelines and the film includes scenes of animal cruelty. We cannot release the title in the UK without cutting these scenes which we are not willing to do.
I hope that offers some insight but do let us know if you have any additional questions or need further assistance. Best,
Kseniya
