Strand Releasing announced today that it has acquired all the US rights for the Mexican film Post Tenebras Lux, directed by Carlos Reygadas. The film had its world premiere at Cannes' official competition last May where it won the prize for Best Director, and it was just theatrically released in Mexico this past weekend.
The film is set for a release at Film Forum in New York City in May, followed by a roll-out in other cities in the U.S. The deal was negotiated between Jon Gerrans from Stand Releasing and Fiorella Moretti from Mantarraya.
