I'm sure you're probably still reeling from that
Yentl announcement, but I have a few more for you. blaq out/Facets continues with their collection of Jean-Claude Brisseau films in January with
Workers for the Good Lord [
Les savates du bon Dieu], starring Stanislas Merhar. Facets also continues their releases of Alexander Kluge's films with
The Indomitable Leni Peikert [
Die Unbezähmbare Leni Peickert]. Both street on 27 January. And in other Brisseau news, IFC has purchased the rights to his latest film,
À l'aventure, when opens in France at the end of the month.
I've gotten word of a few of the Weinstein Company's February releases (which strangely do not include any IFC Films, just like January... more on that later). First is Marc Caro's first post-Jeunet feature
Dante 01, a sci-fi flick with Lambert Wilson and Dominique Pinon, set for 3 Feb. The following week has Agnès Merlet's English-language
Dorothy Mills, which stars the lovely Carice van Houten (
Black Book). And look for Pascal Laugier's violent
Martyrs on the 24th. According to the IMDb,
Martyrs was originally hit with an 18 rating in France, a rating usually reserved for the sauciest of films.
New Yorker/Cinema Guild will release Christian Petzold's
Yella on 10 February, which is currently on my short-list for the best films of 2008 (US release-wise). Koch Lorber's only title for February is Eric Rohmer's
The Romance of Astrée and Céladon [
Les amours d'Astrée et de Céladon], set for 10 February. And finally, Lionsgate/Studio Canal has the comedy
I Do [
Prête-moi ta main] with Charlotte Gainsbourg set for 13 January.
