Ordinary People Blu-ray

Paramount Home Media Distribution will issue a standard Blu-ray edition of Robert Redford's Ordinary People (1980), starring Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, Judd Hirsch, Timothy Hutton, and M. Emmet Walsh. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on January 27.

Studio description: Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, and Timothy Hutton give powerful and moving performances as a family being torn apart by tragedy and the unrelenting pressure to maintain a façade of normalcy. ORDINARY PEOPLE marked Hutton's first film role and his performance not only earned him the Oscar® for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, but it also made him the youngest person to win in the category.

Winner of four Academy Awards—including Best Picture, Best Director (Redford), Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium (Alvin Sargent), and Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Timothy Hutton)—Ordinary People was hailed as "an intelligent, perceptive, and deeply moving film" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times) and "a powerfully intimate domestic drama" (Todd McCarthy, Variety).
