After dipping into romantic drama terrain with his debut film XX/XY and examining the dot-com bubble bursting a decade later in August, Austin Chick's Thelma and Louise take Manhattan like thriller has found a distributor with a fanbase to match. Anchor Bay Films have put the cuffs on the helmer's third directorial outing.

"Jendreyko's film is a magnetic triumph of history and language through the personal story of a reflective old linguist. Fare warning though - at the finish of the film you may have a strange desire to iron your shirts and read Crime and Punishment."

"A film about a group of bawdy broads making a life in a decadent whorehouse could make for tasteless rubbish, but House of Pleasures is a masterful film that takes it's sex laden subject, and shapes it into an unsettling tragedy that examines the companionship of the women, and the messy entrapment of a profession they've committed to."

Contempo Queer cinema is alive and well. After showings at Sundance and in Berlin, Ira Sachs' Keep the Lights On is following along in the footsteps of Weekend and Pariah towards a theatrical release as Music Box Films inked a deal for the North American rights to the film.
