In addition to years of study and experimentation, Robert needed three more things: no scruples, an accomplice and a human guinea pig. Scruples were never a problem. Marilia, the woman who looked after him from the day he was born, is his most faithful accomplice. And as for the human guinea pig …

So glad it's getting a release fairly soon. I've been putting off acquiring it through the "gray market" so that I can watch it in the best possible quality, and my patience is wearing thin!
