Cinema Libre announced the first two DVD releases of their
Jean-Jacques Beineix collection,
Roselyne and the Lions [
Roselyne et les lions] on 14 July and
IP5: The Island of Pachyderms [
IP5: L'île aux pachydermes] on 18 August. As Eric
pointed out, the studio is re-releasing Beineix's most famous film
Betty Blue, with Béatrice Dalle and Jean-Hughes Anglade, in theatres before a DVD release next year.
As for other DVD announcements, PeaceArch will release Marianna Palka's
Good Dick on 1 September, as well as
Valentino: The Last Emperor, on DVD and Blu-ray, 15 September. MPI is releasing Marcel Sarmiento and Gadi Harel's
Deadgirl on both formats 15 September. James Cotton's
La linea, with Andy Garcia and Ray Liotta, will be out through Maya on 10 November. Facets is set to re-release Wojciech Has' trippy
Saragossa Manuscript on 28 July. Oscilloscope will add
Treeless Mountain to the already crowded 15 September street date. And sometime in October, Water Bearer Films
will be releasing Philippe Vallois'
We Were One Man [
Nous étions un seul homme] for the first time on DVD in the US.
On the Blu-ray horizon, a couple of noteworthy titles have been announced. Shout! Factory will have Takashi Miike's
Audition on 7 October; from Sony,
The Craft on 13 October; and from Dark Sky, John McNaughton's
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer on 29 September... all in time for Halloween. That's all for now. I'll resume the Decade List soon. I've taken a needed break from it by revisiting
Six Feet Under.
UPDATE: Thanks to Jeremy at, of course,
The Moon in the Gutter for finding this. Cinema Libre has the dates set for all of
their Beineix releases, including a box-set with all of them on 1 December. According to their site, a DVD of Beineix's
Locked-In Syndrome [
Assigné à résidence], a documentary about Jean-Dominique Bauby who was the subject of Julian Schnabel's
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,
Otaku and his first short
Mr. Michel's Dog [
Le chien de Monsieur Michel] was released today, but I didn't find it on Amazon.com.
Mortal Tranfer [
Mortel transfert], also with Jean-Hughes Anglade, will hit shelves on 22 September, and
The Moon in the Gutter [
La lune dans le caniveau], with Nastassja Kinski, Gérard Depardieu and Victoria Abril, will be out 20 October. It also didn't dawn on me that the studio's theatrical release of
Betty Blue would be the first time it's officially been shown in its full version in the US.
Betty Blue will be on DVD on 17 November.
