That latest Sympatico/MSN DVD column is up now, looking at a quartet of new indie titles — one of which, “Kabluey”, had the misfortune of going direct to video despite being the most engaging of the bunch. Although I acknowledge it’d be a hard sell.
And with the accompanying image of vast plains and vistas in your mind, you might also want to check out the theatrical release of Ed Harris’ “Appaloosa“, which rides into town fresh from its TIFF debut. Sure wish it had been better, though.
Who’s distributing Kabluey in Canada? I know it had/is having a theatrical run in the US.
Sony has the North American DVD rights, so the Canadian theatrical rights are probably held by Mongrel Media, which distributes Sony Pictures Classics up here.
