Wow, it has been ages since I've been able to scratch a title off my "DVDs Still M.I.A." list, but I did today! United States cult film distributor Mondo Macabro Films has announced, and started pre-orders for, 80's thriller
The Satin Spider (
L'Araignée de satin),
which I've previously covered here. As I said then, this is a film Breillat wrote but did not direct, based on a play from the 1920s. Previously, this film had only ever been released on VHS, and never in the US, but now it's getting an official American blu-ray, freshly restored from the original camera negatives! Special features are said to include a retrospective with "crew and critics" (including Breillat??) and a featurette overlooking the director's career. The initial limited edition run of 1,000 individually numbered copies will also include a 20-page booklet, reversible artwork and a cool red case. They say shipping should begin by the end of August, so not too far off.
