The Forsaken Land will be released in US

Looks like Vimukthi Jayasundera's The Forsaken Land will be coming to town,soon.NYT movie critic Manohla Dargis is looking forward to seeing it.

Update 1:
Please check the mutlimedia presentation.There are two critics (A.O.Scott and Manohla Dargis) commenting on their picks for the summer.It is in Manohla Dragis commentary with a picture of Vimukthi.
About the actual release dates ,I couldn't find much.What I guess is it will do the art house circuit after July 21st.If it will be screened in NYC ,it will probably do the tour of rest of the major metropolitan areas.I will update this post again as soon as I find exact details .
(If it is only a single screening in NYC she would have mentioned it .Some distributor must have given her the details)

Update 2:
Manohla Dargis does Forsken land, again
