Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Marielle Heller's film The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015), starring Kristen Wiig, Bel Powley, Alexander Skarsgård, and Christopher Meloni. The release will be available for purchase on January 19.
Based on Phoebe Gloeckners novel of the same name, The Diary of a Teenage Girl was hailed by Salon as one of the most brutally honest, shocking, tender and beautiful portrayals of growing up female in America. Director Heller unlocks this diary with a richly comedic and deeply personal vision, bringing Gloeckners book to life with fearless performances, a rousing score, and inventive graphic novel-like animation sequences. It is a bold, strikingly intimate account of one girls sexual and artistic awakening, without judgment.
The Diary of a Teenage Girl was a favorite at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival (nominated for the Grand Jury Prize and winning for Cinematography), MOMA/Film Society of Lincoln Center (Opening Night), and the Los Angeles Film Festival.
