Does anyone know a good online site to buy Taiwanese movies? I live in Denmark, and have a hard time in finding taiwanese movies.
I am especially looking for “Hidden Whisper” by Vivian Chang. I saw it on Gothenburg Film Festival 2001. It’s a very interesting film, and I’ve been wanting to see it again, but haven’t been able to find it. Has it been released on DVD or VHS?
Good question. I hope someone else can provide more information than I’ve found so far about this.
A problem, DVD region coding aside, with buying Taiwanese movies from places in Taiwan is that they very seldom have subtitles in anything other than Chinese.
I know the movie’s out on VCD, but a quick search hasn’t turned up anything about it on DVD or VHS.
There’s also a website (Chinese only) for Hidden Whisper.
I guess that, the cheaper the DVD player the better the chance that you will not face problems with region-limitations. I bought a 100 Euro model in Beijing which plays DVD from everywhere. If you buy branded models, it is likely that they have region-limitations.
I’ve tried yesasia.com and sensasian.com, but no luck. I find it a bit strange that it hasn’t been released yet, since it’s from 2001, and stars Shu Qi… I’ll keep searching. Please let me know, if anyone has another idea…

I bought a DVD copy of “Yi Yi” (wonderful film) from US Amazon. Though this is a region 1 copy you can have your player doctored in Taipei to play all.
