Cohen Media Group has announced the Cohen Film Collection release of Francois Ozon's multi-award-winning dark thriller,
In the House, starring Ernst Umhauer, Fabrice Luchini, Emmanuelle Seigner and Kristin Scott Thomas. The film arrives on Blu-ray on September 24th.
Official Synopsis: Sixteen-year-old Claude (Ernst Umhauer,
The Monk) is a student in a writing class taught by bored, middle-aged Germain (Fabrice Luchini,
Intimate Strangers, The Aviator's Wife). Germain becomes fascinated with a story Claude has written about how he has schemed his way into the house of a schoolmate, Rapha, and seen things not meant for outsiders' eyes. Germain at first scolds the boy, but then becomes seduced by Claude's ongoing tale - in which the boy reveals his attraction to Rapha's mother (Emmanuelle Seigner,
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Frantic), details Rapha's father's problems, and much more.
As Germain and, eventually, his wife Kristin Scott Thomas (
The English Patient, Mission: Impossible) are drawn deeper and deeper into the drama Claude has created (and even seem to become characters in it), this multilayered tale turns deeply suspenseful and disturbing.
The Blu-ray release of
In the House features 1080p video and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround. Extras have yet to be revealed.
