What a disastrous trailer! It shows way too much and is completely tonally off.

And temporally too, it hasn't appeared at a single theater in the SF Bay area this month, could it still be coming?

So in other words, coming to a library near you by the end of the year.

I doubt many public libraries are buying this, and I doubt many academic libraries are still buying DVDs if it's going to be on Kanopy or Kino's streaming. In other words, I don't really know who this DVD is for.

My local library still buys dvds, usually for just the biggest titles of the year (and it has never bought blu-rays). The last Criterion discs to be added were Flow & Anora. Kino titles used to be more frequent, but now that just means a handful per year. Still looking at the release schedule it looks like there's still a better chance it ends up in my library as opposed to a theater within 50 miles.
