The Cinema Guild has revealed that it plans to bring to Blu-ray Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Verena Paravel's documentary Leviathan. The release will be available for purchase online and in stores across the United States on October 8th.
Last year, Leviathan won The Douglas Edwards Experimental/Independent Film/Video Award at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards. The film also earned FIPRESCI Jury Award at the Locarno International Film Festival.
One of the most highly anticipated films of the year, from the directors of Sweetgrass and Foreign Parts, Leviathan is a thrilling, immersive documentary that takes you deep inside the dangerous world of commercial fishing.

Update: Leviathan features 1080p video, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround, and several extras:
