British distributors Curzon Artificial Eye have officially announced and detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of David Gordon Green's new film, Manglehorn (2015), starring Al Pacino, Holly Hunter, Chris Messina, Harmony Korine, and Natalie Wilemon. The release will be available for purchase on November 2.
Synopsis: Academy Award winner Al Pacino plays Manglehorn, an ageing ex-con locksmith who has
loved, lost and now locked up his life for good. Bitter, angry and alone he spends his days
working hard and his nights drinking harder, in a vain attempt to keep the past at bay. But
as ever, life finds a way and he soon discovers that it hasn't finished with him yet…
Instilled with director David Gordon Green's unique visual style and supported by
Academy Award winner Holly Hunter, Harmony Korine and Chris Messina, Manglehorn is
a movingly humanistic portrait of a man rendered with honesty, subtlety and humour.
However, it is Pacino's remarkably rich, understated performance that anchors the film,
signalling it as a future American Indie classic.
