V lutsah solntsa is a Russian movie about life and propaganda in North Korea. It's played at several festivals and has been reviewed many times, but I can't find it anywhere, on DVD or streaming. Does anyone know where I can find this movie?

Trailer from Deckert Distribution, who don't seem to be distributing the film, yet. IDFA's Docs for Sale site lists the movie but the current "Sales remark" is " - "

Best answer: This film will most likely be available on home video this fall. (I'd tell you how I know, but I don't want to blow my cover!)

Furthermore, if you're in the US, watch for US theatrical screening dates in June and beyond.

The transliteration used in the post is a bit odd, so for anyone who might want to search, the actual Russian title is «В лучах солнца» [In the rays of the sun], and the normal transliteration would be V luchakh solntsa.
