British label Yume Pictures plans to bring to Blu-ray Jonathan Weiss' film
The Atrocity Exhibition (1998). The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on September 12.
Official description: Adapted from J.G.Ballard's infamous 1968 novel,
The Atrocity Exhibition is a brave, unsettling and unconventional film. In a mental research institution, things have gone terribly wrong. A doctor has enlisted patients and staff in staging a series of bizarre micro-dramas. Is it a record of his own mental breakdown, or a collapse between the outer world of reality and the inner world of the psychopathologies which inhabit us all? (Another novel by Ballard is the inspiration behind David Cronenberg's controversial film
Crash).
