I had previously announced that Koch Lorber will be releasing Céline Sciamma's
Water Lilies [
Naissance des pieuvres] on 2 September, but they will also be releasing Rodolphe Marconi's documentary
Lagerfeld Confidential on the same day.
Additionally, Lionsgate has announced a Special Edition of Jeunet et Caro's
Delicatessen for 26 August, though the shift of rights from Miramax to them is not something I'm aware of. They will also release a film called
Kitchen Privileges, formally titled
Housebound, starring Peter Sarsgaard, on the same day; the film is an update of Roman Polanski's
Repulsion with Catherine Deneuve.
The Weinsteins have tentatively announced a special edition of Jet Li's
Fist of Legend for 9 September, but I wouldn't hold my breath on this one, as the Weinsteins, particularly when under the Dragon Dynasty label, have delayed numerous releases. It should be the first time the film is available uncut and undubbed in the United States. Rhino is also set to release for the first time on DVD
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains starring a very young Diane Lane and Laura Dern on 30 September.
As mentioned by
Eric, MGM will release their special edition of
Night of the Hunter on 9 September. No additional material has been announced yet. Porchlight Entertainment will release the Canadian drama
Normal, starring Carrie-Anne Moss, Callum Keith Rennie and Kevin Zegers on 7 October. Image will release the Pang brothers'
Re-Cycle on 23 September, and HBO will have their original movie
Recount, with Kevin Spacey, Laura Dern, Bob Balaban, Denis Leary and John Hurt, on 19 August. Miramax will have Joachim Trier's wonderful
Reprise out on 2 September.
On the international front, Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi's
Actrices [
Actresses], which is owned by IFC in the US, will be released in France by Wild Side Vidéo on 26 June. France Télévisions will release Alexander Sokurov's
Alexandra in France on 9 July. TF1 Vidéo released David Oelhoffen's
Nos retrouvailles [
In Your Wake] on 7 May. Lee Chang-dong's Cannes-winning
Secret Sunshine was released on the same day from TF1. I cannot vouch for subtitles on any of these discs.
In the UK, Axiom Films released the unavailable-in-the-US
Alice in the Cities from 1974 and directed by Wim Wenders. Arrow Films will have a special edition of Andrew Birkin's
The Cement Garden, starring Charlotte Gainsbourg, on 23 June. Two months after Gaumont releases it in France, Yume Pictures brings Nagisa Oshima's
Pleasures of the Flesh onto DVD on 25 August. Mr. Bongo Films has Antonioni's
Identification of a Woman [
Identificazione di una donna] on 30 June.
Soda Pictures will release the acclaimed
La léon, from director Santiago Otheguy, on 25 August; Water Bearer Films should have the film available in the US later this year. Artificial Eye will release Catherine Breillat's
The Last Mistress on the same day. Artificial Eye will also have Roy Andersson's
You the Living on 14 July. BFI will also have two films from Terence Davies, whose documentary
Of Time and the City was widely regarded as one of the finest films to play at this year's Cannes Film Festival, on 21 July:
The Long Day Closes and
The Terence Davies Trilogy.
For those without a region-free player, you can find Denys Arcand's
L'âge des ténèbres [
The Age of Ignorance] from Alliance Atlantis on 30 June. The film stars Diane Kruger and Rufus Wainwright, among others, concludes Arcand's trilogy which began with
The Decline of the American Empire and
The Barbarian Invasions, and still has no US distributor.
