Grasshopper Film will release on Blu-ray Pedro Costa's latest film Vitalina Varela (2019). The release will be available for purchase on September 8.
Description: A film of deeply concentrated beauty, acclaimed filmmaker Pedro Costa's Vitalina Varela stars nonprofessional actor Vitalina Varela in an extraordinary performance based on her own life. Vitalina plays a Cape Verdean woman who visits Lisbon to reunite with her husband following two decades of separation, only to arrive mere days after his funeral. Alone in a strange, forbidding land, she perseveres and begins establishing a new life. Winner of the Golden Leopard for Best Film and Best Actress at the Locarno Film Festival, as well as an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival, Vitalina Varela is a work of shadow and whisper, a profoundly moving and visually ravishing masterpiece.
