Carlos Reygadas' Post Tenebras Lux Gets UK Release Date

British distributors Drakes Avenue Pictures have revealed that they are planning to bring to Blu-ray celebrated Mexican director Carlos Reygadas' (Battle In Heaven, Silent Light) latest film Post Tenebras Lux (2012), starring Adolfo Jiménez Castro, Nathalia Acevedo, and Willebaldo Torres. The preliminary release date set by the distributors is July 22.

Last year, Post Tenebras Lux Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Juan (Adolfo Jiménez Castro) is a wealthy industrialist who has chosen to live with his wife and two children away from the trappings of wealth and the city. Yet isolation in this superficially idyllic rural landscape seems to have brought little peace to his world. Juan's marriage to Natalia (Nathalia Acevedo) is suffering under the strain of sexual ennui, the banal rigours of bringing up young children and living in a community where he is clearly an outsider. The morality of family life is further complicated by Juan's post-colonial Mexican ethnicity and position as an employer and elite landowner in a country with an increasingly divergent wealth divide.
