Then in 1999, October was sold again, merged with Gramercy Pictures and re-named "USA Films". Then Universal acquired "USA Films" and renamed it "Focus Features".

Given all those changes with the distributor, that's why this dvd has taken so long to be released. Many films in October's catalogue are still unreleased on DVD, such as Life is Sweet, Ruby in Paradise, The Idiots.
