Queen Margot (1994), starring Isabelle Adjani, Daniel Auteuil, Jean-Hugues Anglade, Vincent Perez, Virna Lisi, Asia Argento, and Pascal Greggory.

Ahead of the 20th anniversary of the film's release, Pathé restored Queen Margot in 4K in 2013 and entrusted the work, under the direction of Patrice Chéreau, to Eclair Group for the image and L.E. Diapason for the sound. The new restoration was screened in the Classics section of last year's edition of the Cannes Film Festival.
Marguerite, Catholic sister of King Charles IX, is forced to marry the Protestant Henri de Naverre in order to reconcile her native France. However, the brutal murder of thousands of Protestants during the St. Bartholomew's Day celebrations throws the fragile peace into chaos, and when a wounded Protestant seeks refuge with Marguerite, she finds herself falling in love with a pronounced enemy. With a soundtrack by Goran Bregovic (Emir Kusturica's Underground).
Cohen Media Group will also add to its Blu-ray catalog acclaimed Georgian director Otar Iosseliani's Les favoris de la lune a.k.a. Favorites of the Moon (1984), starring Katja Rupé, Alix de Montaigu, François Michel, and Mathieu Amalric. The release will be available for purchase on August 12th.
