I'll keep an eye out for that one and hopefully it'll get some decent distribution. Los Bastardos sounds very interesting.

These will all surely come out on DVD but even a cursory look suggests that these are unlikely to be wide theatrical releases if they are released, so most people would have to wait for the DVD anyway. I have no doubt that they will be released but they'll be rental material if you don't live near an arthouse cinema. They all sound good, but other than Wong Kar-Wai's name recognition (which didn't help My Blueberry Nights, or indeed any other Kar-Wai theatrical release financially) they have extremely limited mass appeal. Foreign movies have a hell of a lot more box-office potential than they did 10-15 years ago, but unless you have something that just looks incredible (like Crouching Tiger or Hero) or appeals to a large niche (e.g. Pan's Labyrinth and The Orphanage), these are always going to be arthouse or DVD discoveries. “Three movies that generated buzz at the festival that sadly you might never get to see…”
