Please note that the disc is “Region 2″ (e.g. South Africa) as stated on the actual Amazon purchase page. The disc I purchased is also PAL, not NTSC. My oversight on the Region 2 issue — I don’t think the seller states PAL specifically. In any case, to play on a PC (in the States, anyway), one has to change the DVD drive settings from Region 1 to Region 2, and there is a very limited number of times one can change the drive’s region setting without having to buy a new drive.

It was actually filmed by Dmitry Vasyukov. The latter made a four hour documentary that was distilled by Herzog into a one hour film. As for the problems with the zone, I agree that Amazon should have noted that but that is no reason to give the DVD content a lower rating. Amazon should consider splitting the review grading into two elements: content and technical aspects, such as quality of recording or price.
