I believe Camera Obscura is or has released La Orca.

See: Criterion Dungeoun

Both filmas are worth watching. I like them a lot. The second one is partly made up by flashbacks of the first though, even though it has a narrative of it's own.

The crime / sleaze mix is rather nice and the gradually character development between Niehaus and Placido is captivating. A case study of the Stockholm syndrome one could argue. The second one is developing the Niehaus character more and her feelings directly afterward the kidnapping.

Regarding the Stockholm syndrome I recomend to watch the Swedish film Norrmalmstorg about the Norrmalmstorg kidnapping in 1973. It actually carry the english title The Stockholm Syndrome. It's a really nice movie.

The date's been pushed back a few times. Right now it's supposed to be September 15th.

I think our fellow member "spannick" is behind this release.

I like both movies but prefer Oedipus Orca ! The second one delivers much more sleaze and even some nasty slaughterhouse footage ... :)

Spannick is part of Camera Obscura?!? cool!
Hope he knows when the Robbe-Grillet is coming and if they also go for the other one that has already been released in Italy without subs :hello!:
Think I'll pick up Orca aswell

Regards 'OEDIPUS ORCA' you could always try tracking down the impossibly rare UK release on Fletcher/Techno video, although so far only a sleeve has been discovered!!

Both of them have been released on dvd in Italy by Cecchi Gore Home Video in December 2010.
Italian language only, but excellent editions (full uncut versions), and many extras.

Camera Obscura recently released a fantastic English friendly dvd edition of La Orca.
