IN ANOTHER COUNTRY to Visit the US Courtesy of Kino Lorber

Hong Sang-soo's 13th film In Another Country which stars French thesp Isabelle Huppert and is currently competing in the main section of the Cannes film festival where it hopes to nab some accolades this Sunday, has been acquired by Kino Lorber for distribution in the United States. While Hong has long been a reputable name on the festival circuit his films have not had much theatrical exposure with the exception of France.  However, over the last six months things have started to heat up a little with the DVD release of 2008 feature Night and Day, which was previously unavailable and the theatrical releases of both Oki's Movie (2010) and The Day He Arrives (2011) earlier this year courtesy of Cinema Guild.
