cui ruide Posted July 26, 2005 at 07:45 AM Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 at 07:45 AM In my Chinese Cinema class we watched Jiang Wen's "In the Heat of the Sun" (陽光燦爛的日子， Yangguang canlan de rizi), and I thought it was great. It seems impossible, however, to get a DVD of the film--at least on the internet. I emailed edaymovie.com about the title, and they said there was a Hong Kong VCD, but it's no longer available. Anyone heard anything about a DVD release coming anytime soon? Also, there was a part of the film where the gang were sitting on a rooftop, one playing guitar, singing some romantic communist song about Moscow. Anyone know what song this is?

carlo Posted July 26, 2005 at 11:41 AM Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 at 11:41 AM I love this film. I have I think a Japanese DVD edition, with Japanese, Korean, English and Chinese subtitles, so I am sure there is a DVD version out there, and it has been available for several years. The song is 莫斯科郊外的晚上, the Russian song every Chinese knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted July 26, 2005 at 02:46 PM Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 at 02:46 PM YesAsia.com has a Japanese version. http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1003028691/code-c/section-videos/ I don't know if it has English subtitles. The movie never got wide release in the US, so it's likely that no US DVD was ever released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted July 26, 2005 at 02:51 PM Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 at 02:51 PM VCD with English subtitle is available here, apparently only for $1. http://www.matrixsurplus.com/commerce/catalog/product.jsp?product_id=1196&czuid=1083143269315 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cui ruide Posted July 27, 2005 at 07:51 AM Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 at 07:51 AM Yeah, I don't have a an all-region dvd player anyway, so I opted for the VCD anyway...$.99, but $7 shipping, go figure ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted February 6, 2006 at 04:49 PM Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 at 04:49 PM Finally got around to watching this a while ago, after it had been sitting in my 'to watch' pile for ages. Absolutely gorgeous film, highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted February 7, 2006 at 12:27 AM Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 at 12:27 AM In case you didn't know already, "In the Heat of the Sun" was adapted from 《动物凶猛》, a novel by Wang Shuo.
