British distributors Artificial Eye have informed us that they are planning to release three films on Blu-ray in June: acclaimed Romanian director Cristian Mungiu's Beyond the Hills (2013), and Canadian director Atom Egoyan's Next of Kin (1984) and Family Viewing (1988).
Alina gets back from Germany to bring Voichița - the only person she
loves and was loved by in this world – back to her. But Voichița has found
God – and God is the most difficult lover one can be jealous of. Starring Cosmina Stratan, Cristina Flutur, and Valeriu Andriuta. Street date: June 10th.
In Next Of Kin, a young man is having problems with his family. Catatonically unhappy, he undergoes video-therapy with his domineering parents. At the clinic, he comes across the videotapes of a troubled Armenian family, who twenty years earlier gave up their infant son to a foster home. This sly comedy explores the unexpected outcome of Peter presenting himself as this family's long lost. Starring Patrick Tierney, Berj Fazalian, Sirvart and Fazlian. Street date: June 10th.
Family Viewing won numerous awards at major film festivals and established Egoyan as one of the most striking new directors of our time. In this black comedy a young man discovers that his childhood home videos have been erased to make room for his father's homemade sex tapes.
Note: Artificial Eye have also informed us that they are planning to release the rest of Egoyan's catalog throughout 2013.
