I want to watch this film but I haven't been able to find it anywhere :( no torrents, no streams, no DVDs for sale, nothing. Does anyone have it? Can anyone show me where to buy it? It's the same director who did Swing Girls, one of my favorite comedy films.

F :( yeah I found a couple blog posts about film festivals that showed it years ago but nowhere to watch it now, at least not on the English speaking internet. Sad because I really do love this director, I just watched another of his films last night, Adrenaline Drive (1999). Really fun, lighthearted comedy with great energy. His movies feel very free, a triumph of the human spirit

Harvard Film Archive told me to email the Pia Film Festival, and they confirmed that there is no DVD release for the film, and they are only able to show it theatrically.

I also made a thread on /tv/ last night, apparently it's not available on any private trackers - but supposedly a copy has been made recently from a DCP, the people involved are refusing to leak it because it's watermarked.
But supposedly someone has been screening it on discord? The plot thickens. Hopefully I can get added to that discord, or the film leaks elsewhere soon.

I replied to a letterboxd review where he said he'd try to get his friend to stream it in discord again. If I do get added to that discord (doubt) I'll try to get some other anons in there as well.
Might make another tv and/or wsr thread soon for another obscure Japanese film I haven't been able to find - Purple Mirror (2011)

still no luck finding this film, it might be worth reaching out to more people who reviewed it recently on lettrboxd and similar platforms. There's a chance that is was uploaded to youtube at one point - not sure if this has ever been confirmed. My understanding is that upload was deleted, but if anyone still has the link maybe we could check if it was archived? It might be worth making a lost media wiki article or something, although I'm not sure if this qualifies, because technically a digital copy of the film does exist. It just doesn't seem to be available online at the moment

update - the last person to review The Rain Women (1990) on letterboxd added me to the (spanish speaking) discord group called Cinemasia where he saw the film. He said he'd try to get his friend to rebroadcast it in the next few days. Here's an invite link to the server for any interested anons

supposedly an insider made a copy from a DCP played at HKIFF, but it's watermarked and they're "afraid to have their identities revealed"
>>1481336
then again, "none of this information is particularly concrete" so idk
