Artificial Eye: Mungiu and Egoyan Films Coming Up

Posted February 21, 2013 04:47 PM by Webmaster

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).

Beyond the Hills

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.

Next of Kin

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

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.
