Code Red has revealed that it is preparing a Blu-ray release of Michael Winterbottom's
Jude (1996), starring Christopher Eccleston, Kate Winslet, Liam Cunningham, Rachel Griffiths, and June Whitfield. The release, which will be distributed by Kino Lorber, is expected to arrive on the market early next year.
Description: In late 19th-century England, Jude (Christopher Eccleston) aspires to be an academic, but is hobbled by his blue-collar background. Instead, he works as a stonemason and is trapped in an unloving marriage to a farmer's daughter named Arabella (Rachel Griffiths). But when his wife leaves him, Jude sees an opportunity to improve himself. He moves to the city and begins an affair with his married cousin, Sue (Kate Winslet), courting tragedy every step of the way.
