I've been looking for this forever. The only copy I found was a Polish DVD that was out of print, and probably didn't have any subtitles I understand anyway. 

A page with some screenshots (in Russian).

The Polish DVD is in the database. UPC: 5903560917076
I think you're right about it not having subtitles. The website you linked says that neither the Polish or Russian releases have any subtitles, and also that the audio language is different for each release.

Thanks for the screenshots. 
Not only is it good to have them, but it allowed me to notice some broken cross-linking on one of my actors.

If you haven't seen Cypher (by the same director), you might like it. I was pleasantly surprised.

Not only have I seen Cypher, but I've also seen Nothing. I'm really looking forward to Splice.

If you enjoyed Cypher, perhaps have a look at Paycheck. There are some strong similarities. It's based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, whose stories were adapted into Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report and A Scanner Darkly (among others).

I saw paycheck and enjoyed it for what it was, but man it was also frustrating. Paperclip (the original short story) was soooooooooo much better, and was what? 20 pages or so?

Bitter sweet.

Philip K. Dick has some great works, regardless.

Oh, man, just watched the trailer for Splice.

Yes, I believe I'd like to see this one too.

Oh, to add another to the list:

I hated this movie (and yet looking back, I'm tempted to give it another go). I'm a little surprised to see no mention of Sunshine.

Another couple of films that are a bit out of left field, but might interest people, are Avalon and Immortel: Ad Vitam. Neither was my cup of tea, but I really *wanted* to like both (in the case of Avalon, I've seen it twice, the second time on the big screen).





Immortel got me excited enough to check out the source material "The Nikopol trilogy", with the beautiful art of Enki Bilal.

Event Horizon is one of my favorite sci fi movies!

Dark City is also a must!
