My Notes,

 Calling all angels,

  Here is the full release and reissue of the director's cut of "Until The End of the World."  Eleven countries and four continents,  25 million dollars (US) plus original music from 16 pop composers.

  I've seen this a few times over the years.  And I've made this  transfer so that many can see it.  The included interview is immeasurably helpful in understanding the full scope of UtEotW which was severely edited for a movie theatre  audience of 1991.  In our day with DVDs,  the film can be viewed perhaps as a mini series.  The film itself is considered to contain a Part One and Part Two at the DVD disc one and two break.  This reminded me of Peter Watkins dictum about "The Universal Clock"  (see my file shares on "La Commune, Paris 1871".) Watkins viewed the 100 minute movie as a constraint to film making.

  I'm not going to give away much about "Until The End of the World."  But there is a favorite part for me which imagines what an internet "search" would look like in 1991 from someone who had no experience of it.  Watch for The Bounty Bear.

  Subtitles I've included with my best ability.  I've made a text copy of an SRT of the interview with the director which ran 30 minutes so that viewers  can read it in detail.

  As always the fileshare is just a tool for access and I encourage schools and libraries to get this complete DVD version.

  My favorite phrase from the film  was actually used by an online reviewer
back in the Usenet days of newsgroups and I've used it many times since:

Gene the Narrator:            'I didn't know the cure for the disease of images
                                                 I believed in words and I believed in the magic
                                                  and healing power of storytelling.'
