It is currently available, along with a lot of Criterion films, on Hulu Plus.
I sent a general inquiry about streaming to Jon Mulvaney of Criterion mulva...@criterion.com and he replied by referring me to Hulu Plus: "Institutional streaming licenses are not available at this time. I do hope you will find helpful that many of our titles can be streamed on Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/criterion). Additionally anyone signing-up on Hulu Plus with a .edu email address will get their first month free of charge." I would assume that the instructor could use a subscription to show it in the classroom, but that students would have to buy a subscription to watch at home. This is not a bad deal for film majors.The trick is that not all Criterion films are available all the time. Maybe Hulu could guarantee that a particular one would be available for a particular term.

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
