Well, I hope this subject hasn't already been posted elsewhere (I did look but didn't find anything exactly comparable). If it has, please feel free to move it accordingly.
I am presently desperately trying to get hold of the new Brazilian DVD of Oliveira's Espelho Magico, as advertised here. However, this has been a bit of a challenge. Those of you who have attempted to sign up on sites which are not in your principle language understand what I mean. Anyway, it isn't just the language barrier, which is more or less manageable with babelfish and so forth, but the real trick is navigating the registration form requirements when they seem as cryptic as the puzzles in Myst. In this particular case I remain stuck because I have no idea what CPF/CNPJ is and how to fill out the requisite field. Apparently I have to fill in something (it won't let me not do that) but no matter what I put there I keep getting rejected. So, what I was hoping was that someone here might have either some idea about that or some notion of who might carry a solid selection of import discs from Brazilian manufacturers--the production company for the above title is Paris Filmes.
This looks like a great disc for a film which may never show up on region 1 so I'm getting pretty frustrated. I did contact Tony at xploited as it seems like the kind of thing he might be able to procure and might be interested in. Short of that, I can't imagine what else to do other than attempting to contact some of these sites from Brazil personally. But that's a wearisome ordeal to contemplate.
