U.S. label Cinema Guild has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray acclaimed Portuguese dierctor Pedro Costa's latest film Horse Money (2015). The release will be available for purchase on May 31.
Synopsis: A visionary masterwork from the renowned director of COLOSSAL YOUTH, Pedro Costa's HORSE MONEY is a mesmerizing odyssey into the real, imagined and nightmarish memories of the elderly Ventura, a Cape Verdean immigrant living in Lisbon. The time is now, a numbing and timeless present of hospital stays, bureaucratic questioning, and wandering through remembered spaces… and suddenly it is also then, the mid '70s and the time of Portugal's Carnation Revolution, when Ventura got into a knife fight with his friend Joaquim. HORSE MONEY is a self-reckoning, a moving memorialization of lives in danger of being forgotten, as well as a piercingly beautiful work of modern cinema.
Special Features:
OUR MAN (2010, 23 minutes), a short film by Pedro Costa
Booklet featuring "The Road to Perdition," an essay by film critic Chris Fujiwara
