Hi Frances,<br><br>"City of Life and Death" hasn't been shown at any festivals here in Japan to my knowledge, and definitely hasn't been given a theatrical release. I had to import the Hong Kong blu-ray to see it. It really deserves to be seen on the big screen, but given the current distribution climate, it's not surprising that no company has taken a risk on it yet. Lu Chuan's other films "The Missing Gun" and "Mountain Patrol" were both released here by Sony Pictures.<br>
