Kino Lorber have announced that they will release on Blu-ray two films directed by Yorgos Lanthimos: Dogtooth (2009) and Alps (2011). The two releases will be available for purchase on September 3.
Dogtooth
Synopsis: Graceful, enigmatic, and often frightening, Dogtooth is an ingenious dark comedy that won the Prix Un Certain Regard at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, propelling Yorgos Lanthimos to the forefront of contemporary cinema's most ambitious young filmmakers.
In an effort to protect their three children from the corrupting influence of the outside world, a Greek couple transforms their home into a gated compiound of cultural deprivation and strict rules of behavior. But children cannot remain innocent forever. When the father brings home a young woman to satisfy his son's sexual urges, the family's engineered "reality" begins to crumble, with devastating consequences.
Like the haunting, dystopic visions of Michael Haneke and Gaspar Noe, Dogtooth punctuates its compelling drama with moments of shocking violence, creating a biting social satire that is as profound as it is provocative.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Synopsis: A group of people start a business where they impersonate the recently deceased in order to help their clients through the grieving process.
