I am looking for a place where I can buy movies DIRECTED by Emir
Kusturica with Spanish subtitles. DVD or VHS format is OK. The movies
I'm most interested in are "Underground", "Black Cat White Cat" and
"The time of the gypsies". All these are easily found with English
subtitles but not with Spanish ones.

Hello Gregorovius,
Which DVD country code are you looking for? (That is, where are you from?)

Thanks.

Hello, J_Philipp,

Any DVD region will work fine for me. I'd be playing them on a multi-region player.

Thanks!

"Gato negro, gato blanco" and "Underground" are available at FNAC in
Spain.  I assume these are subtitled versions, but I'm not certain. 
These are the only two Kusturica films available at this outlet.

Sorry, but the site is set up so I can't give you a direct link. 
Follow the DVD-Video tab, then look at the bottom of the page for a
link that says "Búsqueda," the Spanish word for "search."

I checked the largest Mexican video site, but its versions of the
Kusturica films have English subtitles only.

I've been able to get some more information, but not enough for a
complete answer, so I'm posting this as another comment. Perhaps some
other researcher can look into this more and find you more info.

I did find that one of the versions of "Gato negro, gato blanco"
available at FNAC is a subtitled version. The subtitled one is the one
that says "V.O. subtitulada" on it ("V.O.' is the abbreviation for
"versión original" or "original version").

It's not clear to me whether the version of "Underground" is
subtitled.

To search, look for a link that says "búsqueda."

Videolandia of Uruguay has four subtitled Kusturica films available in
VHS.  You'll have to use the search link ("Búsquedas") to find them. 
The films are "Underground," "Sueños en Arizona," "Tiempo de gitanos"
and "Gato negro, gato blanco."  Unfortunately, Videolandia isn't set
up for foreign mail orders.  But at least we know that subtitled
versions of these films exist.

One other possibility is DVD Argentina, but its search function is
currently out of order.
