Just a few DVD release updates for you. Sony has lined up dates for both of their foreign language Oscar hopefuls, Laurent Cantet's
The Class [
Entre les murs] and Ari Folman's
Waltz with Bashir, for 14 April and 28 April, respectively. As
Rachel Getting Married,
I've Loved You So Long and
Seven Pounds have shown us, the dates will likely change by a week or two. Miramax also announced their Oscar hopeful
Doubt for 14 April.
The most exciting news I have to offer comes from Facets, as they have a number of great stuff lined up for May. Firstly, they've announced a two-disc edition of Hans-Jürgen Syberberg's
Ludwig, Requiem for a Virgin King [
Ludwig - Requiem für einen jungfräulichen König], which makes for a fine comparison/companion piece to Visconti's
Ludwig, which was released by Koch Lorber last year. Harry Baer stars as Ludwig II, alongside Ingrid Caven as Lola Montez. Facets will also be releasing Martin Meissonnier's documentary
The Real Joan of Arc [
Vraie Jeanne, fausse Jeanne], which explores the history and mythology of Jeanne d'Arc, Helma Sanders-Brahms'
Earthquake in Chile [
Erdbeben in Chili], Stanislav Stanojevic's
Subversion, Jerzy Kawalerowicz's
Quo Vadis?, which co-stars Boguslaw Linda, Ning Ying's
On the Beat and the documentary
Inquiring Nuns, in which a pair of Chicago-based nuns ask people on the street if they're happy. All street on 26 May.
Synkronized USA will be releasing two recent French films on 5 May: Antoine Santana's
A Song of Innocence [
La ravisseuse] and Cheyenne Carron's
Twisted Souls [
Écorchés].
A Song of Innocence stars Isild Le Besco (who also starred in Santana's
Un moment de bonheur), Émilie Dequenne, Grégoire Colin and Anémone;
Twisted Souls features Vincent Martinez and Sagamore Stévenin (
Romance). Synkronizes titles are usually delayed, so keep that in mind. Lifesize Home Entertainment will also be releasing another film starring Émilie Dequenne, entitled
Écoute le temps (also known as
Fissures). Mathieu Demy also stars.
Kelly Reichardt's
Wendy and Lucy, starring Michelle Williams, will be released by Oscilloscope on 5 May, along with Koch Lorber's release of Ole Bornedal's
Just Another Love Story [
Kærlighed på film]. Magnolia has set 2 June for James Gray's
Two Lovers, and finally, Lionsgate is releasing the second season of
Mad Men on 7 July. That's all for now.
