"Sorry. This is currently unavailable in your region."
This has been the case since before launch and is also a reason why pirates are still a thing.
- Yeul 2y agoDistribution rights for obscure cinema are complex. Apparently Prime video has "suicide club" according to where to watch. But not in my country lol.
- squidsoup 2y agoSion Sono is such an odd film maker, I seem to vacillate between "this is genius" and "this is garbage" every other minute while watching his films.
- triceratops 2y ago> Distribution rights for obscure cinema are complex. That's what I don't understand. The odds that more than 10 people in Mongolia are going to give two shits about say an arthouse drama about an immigrant Latino family in Yellowknife are incredibly low. No matter how well-drawn the characters, or compelling the story, obscure arthouse films are not expected to find a big paying audience. So why not make that film free to watch in any market that you don't expect to be interested in it? How much revenue do you really stand to lose?
