Amazon have it; the 3 Video stores I go to regularly in Tokyo have all had their copies stolen, it's a very very rare occurence here and may in a strange way reflect on how good a film The Winter War is.
I've always followed the war genre as very occasionally there will be a Kanal, a Das Boot, or Tarkovskys Ivans Life is not bad; of course there are disappointments like "Stalingrad" (and I don't mean the totally apalling USA film of the same name!).
The Winter War is a lot like Kanal insofar as it transcends the actual event and shows regular people reacting in extraordinary situations, and doesn't scream "Antiwar" either.
While both director and film are obscure; as you would know with Wajda, that doesn't mean anything about the quality of their work, and particularly not this one, it's a gem.
