Boxing Helena, will also be available on Blu-ray. And speaking of Sherilyn Fenn, City Lights is bringing the world a film called
Zombie High, from 1987 and also starring Virginia Madsen, on 23 June. This would be director Ron Link's first and last film.

La mort en ce jardin] with Simone Signoret. Mitchell Leisen's
Remember the Night, written by Preston Sturges and starring Barbara Stanwyck? Whit Stillman's
The Last Days of Disco for certain getting a Criterion release?
The State is out 14 July, the 2 Buñuels are certain but without a date,
The Last Days of Disco is a distinct possibility and the Leisen may just be an Amazon placeholder. We'll see.
