Well, Li'l Imp.....
I've got the Unrated version and don't know if I'd trust what might have been cut out of Rated one (I'd imagine you wouldn't want to miss any of this one).
I see DeepDiscount seems only to have Rated version. Checking DVDPriceSearch.com shows Overstock.com has U-version for $21.24, and they always get DVDs to me fast. It's about the same price new on Amazon if you use, not them, but one of their listed sellers.
Enjoy.

PS--This for JudeW who has mentioned at least a couple of times about waiting for "Burnt Money" on DVD. Don't know where you've been, but this one's been out on DVD for a couple of years or so. Just go to Amazon.com and do a search on this title---there's even some better pricing on some of the Used copies.

Thank you Azphil, but is this solely Region 1? I'm from Europe and would prefer a Region 2.

Yesterday I finally watched "Sommersturm" ("Summer Storm"). I had it in my dvd-collection for months but totally forgot about it in my Brokeback Mountain fever... ::)
Well, I'm really glad I watched it now. It's very sweet, if not always totally believable. An all gay teenage rowing team? Well, okay.
There are also some unnecessary stereotypes. A group of girls from Saxony, for example, are rather portrayed as carricatures. And, something that will only bother the Germans: none of the supposedly Bavarian kids actually has a Bavarian accent, and their trainer is unmistakably from Austria. But enough of the nitpicking.
The portrayal of young Tobi's coming out itself, is very touching and believable and very well acted. Plus: there is a great love scene where Tobi (Robert Stadlober) has his first sexual encounter with a cherub-like young guy called Leo (Marlon Kittel). The whole film is worth watching for that scene alone!
I found it on YouTube (Achtung: major spoiler!!!!): ;D

Watch it and fall in love with Leo! ;)

Weisst Du was, Anke? I did and I agree with everything you wrote! 100% And most of all the stuff about Leo (Marlon Kittel)!!! Awsome! Cute! Adorable! Mature! Brilliant! The scene is absolutely tender and the actors perfect!

Hi Jude!
Burnt Money can be found for Region 2. It's very popular in Spain. I think it's a Spain-Argentina Production (not sure though). In any case, it's original title is "Plata Quemada", in case you need to know to find the DVD.
