The Appointment (1981/2)

•  A Blu-ray disc of The Appointment is available from The British Film Insitute (https://shop.bfi.org.uk/the-appointment-blu-ray.html).

• [JC: Please be aware that the format may not be suitable for all Blu-ray players. I do not know if the disc is region-specific or region-free; all I know is that I can play it here in the UK.]

• [The Appointment is featured as part of the BFI Flipside series: "BFI Flipside is dedicated to rediscovering the margins of British and Irish film, reclaiming a space for forgotten movies and filmmakers who would otherwise be in danger of disappearing from our screens forever. It is a home for cinematic oddities, offering everything from exploitation documentaries to B-movies, countercultural curios and obscure classics. If it's weird, and forgotten, then it's Flipside."—BFI.org.uk]
