Shout Factory will bring to Blu-ray Marek Kanievska's Another Country (1984) and Alan Rudolph's Trouble in Mind (1985). The two releases will be available for purchase on May 30.
Another Country
Label description: Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, and Cary Elwes star in a moving coming-of-age tale.
In a shabby apartment in Moscow, an American journalist asks a retired spy why he betrayed his country and defected to the USSR fifty years ago. The answers take them back to 1932, where in the closed atmosphere of a British boys' school, young Guy Bennett (Rupert Everett, Shakespeare In Love) realizes that his attraction to his classmates is more than a passing phase.
There, in an environment permeated by unquenched desire and utter denial in the wake of a gay classmate's suicide, Bennett falls desperately in love with fellow student James Harcourt (Cary Elwes, The Crush) ... and is introduced to Marxism by his most loyal friend, Tommy (Colin Firth, Kingsman: The Secret Service).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Label description: In the fictional and hypnotic Rain City, ex-cop Hawk (Kris Kristofferson) has just been released from prison after serving hard time for killing a man. Meanwhile, a young, down-on-his-luck father, Coop (Keith Carradine), and his radiant, innocent wife, Georgia (Lori Singer), head toward the city with their new baby in search of a new life. Littered with eccentric gangsters and thugs, Rain City almost serves as a side street to human evolution. At the center of it all is Wanda's – a dive diner run by Hawk's ex (Geneviève Bujold) – where the characters' lives will intersect, changing them forever. Written and directed by Alan Rudolph, Trouble In Mind is set somewhere in the future and the past of countless classic film noirs, creating a completely realized neo-noir masterpiece.
