My Old Lady. The BBC Films dramatic comedy stars Kevin Kline, Maggie Smith and Kristin Scott Thomas, and arrives via a Blu-ray/Digital HD combo pack on January 27, 2015.
Synopsis: Mathias (Kevin Kline) is a down-and-out New Yorker who travels to Paris to liquidate a huge, valuable apartment he has inherited from his estranged father. Once there, however, he discovers a refined old woman Mathilde (Maggie Smith) living in the apartment with her daughter Chloé (Kristin Scott Thomas). Mathias quickly learns that the apartment is a "viager" – an ancient French system for buying and selling apartments – and that he will not actually get possession of the apartment until Mathilde dies. While working with a Parisian real-estate dealer (Dominique Pinon), to sell his contract for the apartment, Mathias discovers that Mathilde and his father were lovers for more than 50 years.

My Old Lady is presented in 1080p with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround. Special features include:
