Old news?
There is a new film, "The Luzhin Defense," playing on closing night of
the
San Diego International Film Festival on April 12. According to one
movie
site, it goes into NY/LA release (via Sony Pictures Classics) on April
20
and wider after that. I believe it was released in Britain last year.
It is based (natch) on "The Defense" and is listed as a French
production
(though filmed in Italy and Hungary with a mostly British cast). It is
directed by Marleen Gorris (Mrs. Dalloway) and starring John Malkovich
and
Emily Watson.

Forgive me if this has come up for discussion before; I have been a bit
distracted and may have missed it.
