Through Vivendi Visual, Palisades Tartan will release their first two DVDs in the US in September. Carlos Reygadas'
Silent Light [
Stellet licht] will finally be out on 9 Sept, along with Anders Morgenthaler's animated actioner
Princess on 29 Sept. Vivendi also announced Aaron Woodley's
Tennessee, starring none other than Mariah Carey, on 1 September. Additionally, Kino will be releasing Emily Hubley's
The Toe Tactic and Sean Baker and Tsou Shih-Ching's
Take Out on 1 September. Magnet will have Ringo Lam, Johnny To and Tsui Hark's
Triangle on 15 September. And, my pick for best title of the year so far goes to
Life Is Hot in Cracktown, which Anchor Bay will release on 25 August. It also is ranking on the list of strangest casts of the year (Lara Flynn Boyle, Illeana Douglas, RZA, Brandon Routh, Kerry Washington, Mark Webber and Vondie Curtis-Hall); let me know if the film is as good as it sounds.
Surprisingly, I haven't heard of really any post-Cannes acquisitions, aside from Oscilloscope's pick-up of Michel Gondry's
The Thorn in the Heart [
L'épine dans le coeur]. However, it looks as if Roy Andersson's
You, the Living [
Du levande] and György Pálfi's
Taxidermia, both previously stuck in release limbo after Tartan USA died, will finally see a theatrical release this year from Palisades Tartan, who picked up most of their library, and Regent Releasing, respectively.
Music Box Films have two German films lined up for later this year, the old-people-fucking flick
Cloud 9 [
Wolke 9] from director Andreas Dresdon (
Summer in Berlin) and music video director Philipp Stölzl's
North Face [
Nordwand] with Benno Fürmann and Johanna Wokalek.
In addition to Lucrecia Martel's
The Headless Woman [
La mujer sin cabeza], Strand also has a number of films lined up for later this year: Pascal-Alex Vincent's
Give Me Your Hand [
Donne-moi la main]; Pablo Trapero's
Lion's Den [
Leonera]; Noah Buschel's
The Missing Person, with Michael Shannon and Amy Ryan; Jay DiPietro's
Peter and Vandy, with Jess Weixler, Jason Ritter and Tracie Thoms; and Karin Albou's
The Wedding Song [
Le chant des mariées].
Regent Releasing picked up Lucía Puenzo's follow-up to her wonderful
XXY,
The Fish Child [
El niño pez], which also stars Inés Efron, a few months ago. Regent will also release Eran Merav's
Zion & His Brother, with Ronit Elkabetz, in the near future. That's all for now.
