British distributors Artificial Eye have officially announced that they will release on Blu-ray acclaimed director Cristian Mungiu's Dupa dealuri a.k.a Beyond the Hills (2012), starring Cosmina Stratan, Cristina Flutur, and Valeriu Andriuta. The release will be available for purchase online and in shops across the United Kingdom on June 10th.
This mysterious, enthralling and astonishingly accomplished new film from Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days) was awarded both the Best Actress and Best Screenplay awards at Cannes 2012 for its depiction of a real life tragedy that unfolded in a small religious community in Romania.
Two friends who grew up together in an orphanage are reunited after years apart. One has taken orders while the other wants them to both relocate to a new life in Germany. However, their relationship and sexuality gradually tears apart the tight-knit fabric of the sect, resulting in a terrifying act that would send a shockwave through the church.
