I'm not aware of *any* commercial DVD of POTEMKIN with the Meisel score. The Criterion Collection has been working on an Eisenstein silents box set, but there hasn't been any news on that in quite some time. The best-looking version of POTEMKIN on DVD at the moment is the French edition (with English subtitles) that also comes with a superior version of THE GENERAL LINE. It's released by Films Sans Frontieres and is available from Fnac.com: http://www4.fnac.com/Shelf/article.aspx?PRID=1376773 You'll need a Region 2 PAL player for this. However, this is the 70s Soviet print that's also released in the U.S., and not the recent restoration that has been touring with the Meisel score. Incidentally, Films Sans Frontieres also sells an excellent DVD of Paradjanov's SHADOWS OF FORGOTTEN ANCESTORS, also with English subtitles. (Their DVD of THE COLOR OF POMEGRANATES is overly contrast-boosted and not windowboxed, unlike the Kino DVD, which is still the best DVD edition of that particular film.)
