Facets announced another epic Hans-Jürgen Syberberg German biopic for June; this time it's
Karl May. The company previously released
Our Hitler and has
Ludwig: Requiem for a Virgin King set for 26 May. While doing some research on Facets releasing, I also stumbled upon the fact that all four of director Alexander Kluge's films that had been previously announced (
Yesterday Girl,
Part-Time Work of a Domestic Slave,
The Indomitable Leni Peikert and
Artists Under the Big Top: Perplexed) have been canceled (or at least delayed).
Also from Facets in June:
Diary of a Suicide [
Journal d'un suicidé], the feature debut of Stanislav Stanojevic, whose
Notorious Nobodies and
Subversions have already been released/announced from the company. The film stars Delphine Seyrig and Sami Frey. Strand will release Doris Dörrie's
Cherry Blossoms [
Kirschblüten - Hanami] on 16 June. For fans of Dörrie, her 1985 comedy
Men... [
Männer...], which was her international breakout, was slated for 14 April from MVD/Televista, but that may have been canceled (that studios releases are often unauthorized). And finally, Lionsgate will release Hugo Rodríguez's
Nicotina, with Diego Luna, on 9 June.
Nicotina's release from First Look a couple years ago was canceled before it hit shelves.
And finally, take a look at Filmbo's blog to read more about the
Warner Archive Collection, the
Warner HTF chat and the
unexciting line-up for MYA Communications.
