I couldn't either. My old copy is in VHS format (Spanish with English subtitles). Evidently there was a DVD version, but it's no longer available. I hope the DVD version is re-released soon.

In the meantime, I rented K-Pax. When reading the customer reviews of Man Facing Southeast at Amazon, I noted that one reviewer said K-Pax was an inferior rip-off of Man Facing Southeast, while another said that it wasn't the same movie, but they could see similarities. I'll watch the K-Pac movie this weekend and decide for myself.

If I discover where you can get a DVD version of MFS, I'll let you know.

This wonderful Argentine film is a real gem. That it isn't available on DVD here is a mystery. I can only suppose that the subtitles and lack of explosions make it unsuitable for most movie-goers here in the U.S.
