Though you might have
other things on your mind, I thought I'd post another DVD update. Through their new deal with MPI, IFC Films announced their second round of DVD releases after that Blockbuster/Genius drought. Unfortunately, all of their titles so far have been part of their Festival Direct package and not their theatrical releases (
The Last Mistress,
The Duchess of Langeais,
A Christmas Tale,
Hunger,
Gomorrah,
My Winnipeg, etc). On 15 September, look for Spiros Stathoulopoulos' single-take thriller
PVC-1 and Baltasar Kormákur's
White Night Wedding [
Brúðguminn], which stars the Icelandic director's frequent actor Hilmir Snær Guðnason. On 29 September, Madonna's wretched directorial debut
Filth and Wisdom and the Spanish thriller
Fermat's Room [
La habitación de Fermat] will be released.
Icarus Films has set a release date for Chantal Akerman's acclaimed, little seen
From the East [
D'Est] for 6 October, as well as David Barison and Daniel Ross' documentary
The Ister for 3 November. Kino will release a double-feature of sci-fi/horror films from director Graham Reznick,
I Can See You and
The Viewer, on 28 September.
Cinema Guild will follow Project X's July release of Christian Petzold's
The State I Am In [
Die Innere Sicherheit] with his latest
Jerichow on 27 August. And finally, it appears as if the elusive
Phantasm II will make its way onto DVD on 15 September (though I can't back this up) from Universal. I know you've been waiting.

Bunched One...Has Your website been revamped? It likes as though it has to me. You have some interesting stuff posted, but it's after midnight and I have early classes tomorrow. My quick opinion:
ReplyDeleteHas a more appealing look now...but seems, perhaps, a little less user friendly?!? Will try to come back very soon and spend a lot more time looking around!
