You can already buy "My Bluberry Nights" from the UK:
http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/5...s/Product.html
http://www.blahdvd.com/blah/BD_Produ...D-OPTBD1189-SU

I was a blind buy for me, I already own the dvd : I am in love with Norah Jones so do not expect me to be a impartial judge when it comes to anything she a part of ...

I loved the movie anyway...

P.s : No indication of region on the back of the disc but it plays on my Italian PS3..

Yeah, the one from UK is region B but I have some workarounds and I managed to watch the movie on my main setup already. Very nice cinematography but I miss the Asian environment / style from Wong Kar Wai's earlier movies. I think some of the director's style didn't translate as well to the American environment. Main problem for me was that some of the characters didn't really feel authentic or belieavable. The film looked great though.
