Catalogue note
UK Region 2 PAL DVD of Larry Clark's Kids in Momentum Pictures' World Cinema Collection. The austere orange-and-black packaging belongs to an early phase of UK DVD culture in which controversial independent cinema was being recirculated as curated 'world cinema'. The edition is especially useful in TMR because it complements the original German theatrical poster and contemporary U.S. LaserDisc of the same film, allowing the archive to trace how Kids was packaged and reframed across territories and formats.

Condition note
Original clear Amaray-style case, printed wrap and disc present. Case shows moderate storage scuffing and rubbing; printed sleeve remains bright and complete. Only the label side of the disc is visible in supplied photographs, so data-side condition and playback are unverified.

Attribution / research note

Why this object matters
The World Cinema Collection packaging documents a later UK reframing of KIDS as curated cinema. Its strongest contribution is comparative alongside the earlier poster and LaserDisc, supporting a strong score without duplicating their release-period importance.
