I'm holding onto a battered VHS copy like grim death, so it's excellent to hear that it's finally found a DVD release. Ballard is an obvious influence not only upon Petit's filmmaking, but also his attempt at literary urban landscapes. His first novel, 'Robinson', is at times a virtual pastiche of Ballard's writing. Although, I must add, I'd opt for 'Radio On' any day of the week. ‘Radio On’ is a fantastic film; I managed to catch it twice at a local arthouse cinema two years back, and it had a *profound* effect on me.
