Young & Beautiful Blu-ray

IFC Films is preparing a Blu-ray release of François Ozon's Young & Beautiful a.k.a. Jeune et jolie (2013), starring Marine Vacth, Géraldine Pailhas, Frédéric Pierrot, Fantin Ravat, and Yves Bole. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on September 30.

Description: Acclaimed director François Ozon (Swimming Pool, 8 Women) helms this erotic tale of sexual awakening. After losing her virginity, 17-year-old budding beauty Isabelle (Marine Vacth) takes up a secret life as a call girl, meeting her older gentlemen clients for erotic hotel room trysts. Throughout, she remains curiously aloof, showing little interest in the encounters themselves or the money she makes, while Ozon slyly refrains from offering easy answers. As the enigmatic Isabelle, Marine Vacth is magnetic, delivering a star-making breakout performance in this sleek and sexy coming-of-age drama.
