lrobhubbard Mondo Vision, who've released Zulawski in the U.S. - most of his French films (La Femme Publique, L'amour Braque, The Important Thing is Love, Le Note Bleu) and the recent Blu-Ray of POSSESSION has been working on a release of SILVER GLOBE, as well as THE DEVIL and THE THIRD PART OF THE NIGHT... Daniel Bird's statement about the Polish Film Institute not supporting Zulawski goes a long way as to explain why it's taking forever to get good releases of those films (although THIRD PART OF NIGHT did get a nice DVD release from Second Run in 2007.) Mondo Vision is also scheduled to release his filmed opera of BORIS GUDONOV, which is also available as a Blu import from France.lrobhubbard From the Criterion Collection Forum... http://www.criterionforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=8024&start=625 Japan is releasing the "Polish trilogy" on blu-ray, April 4th 2018: Third Part of the Night, The Devil, and On the Silver Globe Blu-ray Box Set: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/TCBD-692 On The Silver Globe (Stand-alone) blu-ray: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/TCBD-693 Japanese-only subtitles, of course.
