The film Dybbuk B'sde Hatapuchim Hakdoshim, Ha (or, The Dybbuk Of The Holy Apple Field when translated from Hebrew) is finally getting a Region 2 DVD release (in Israel only) later this year.
The 1998 film, at $3 million the biggest production in the history of Israeli cinema, won many awards at various film festivals, but more importantly features a soundtrack by Roger Waters and Rick Wentworth. Roger's contribution is the cover of Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" (which also appears on his 'Flickering Flame' compilation), whilst Rick, who is collaborating with Roger on his opera Ca Ira, provides incidental music during the film.
The brief synopsis runs thus: "A modern version of the classic Jewish legend of "Dybbuk" set in present day Jerusalem. A story about the union of the soul and the divine, and the resulting power of love to overcome all obstacles."

In the Netherlands the "Arrow" radio station recently ran a "Top 500 All Time Classic Poll" - and Pink Floyd filled a staggering eighteen places - more than any other artist! Their songs included: Comfortably Numb (number 10), Shine On (15), WYWH (18), ABITW (41), Echoes (52), Money (79), and Time (107).
Other interesting information about the poll - the top 4 is the same as last year, and number one in the list (Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven) had twice as many votes as the number three in the list (Guns 'N' Roses November Rain).Our thanks to Nick Spekkels for this information!
