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.
