Kino has pushed the date for Amos Gitai's One Day You'll Understand until 11 August, though they've announced Amat Escalante's Los bastardos for 16 June. It looks like Criterion's release of Bergman Island will not be the full-length Swedish version, but the US edit instead. I don't know what's missing from the US cut. And finally, The Weinstein Company announced Wayne Kramer's Crossing Over, with Harrison Ford, Ashley Judd, Ray Liotta and Jim Sturgess, for 3 June.Here's the semi-annual update of upcoming DVDs/Blu-rays in the UK. The titles in red indicate films not on DVD in the US.
