Independent British distributors Peccadillo Pictures have revealed that they are planning to bring to Blu-ray director Joachim Lafosse's À perdre la raison a.k.a Our Children (2012), starring Niels Arestrup (The Beat That My Heart Skipped), Tahar Rahim (A Prophet), and Émilie Dequenne (Rosetta). The preliminary release date set by the distributors is September 9th.
In 2012, Our Children won Best Actress Award (Émilie Dequenne) in the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival. The film was also selected to represent Belgium in the Foreign Language category of the 85th Academy Awards.
Young, effervescent and full of life, Murielle (Dequenne) has a promising future ahead of her when she meets and falls head over heels for Mounir (Rahim). A wedding soon follows, and the happy couple quickly set about preparing to make a family. However, with family come ties, and none come as tight as that between Mounir and his adoptive father (Arestrup). As Murielle continues to bring new life into the family, in the form of four children, frictions between Mounir and Doctor Pinget reach boiling point. Helpless to extract her husband and children from the wealthy nest that Doctor Pinget has provided for them, Murielle is drawn into an unhealthy family dynamic. Within this oppressive environment, Murielle becomes trapped and all sense of reasoning begins to abandon her.
