Canadian distributors Alliance will release a Blu-ray Combo Pack of Denys Arcand's Les invasions barbares a.k.a The Barbarian Invasions (2003), starring Rémy Girard, Marie-Josée Croze, Stéphane Rousseau, Marina Hands, and Dorothée Berryman. Street date is January 24th.
In 2003, The Barbarian Invasions won Best Actress (Marie-Josée Croze) and Best Screenplay (Denys Arcand) Award at the Cannes Film Festival. A year later, the film also won Oscar Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
The Barbarian Invasions is a provocative look at the many ties that bind a group of friends and lovers. It's not easy for a narrow-minded professor (Girard) to reconcile with his equally stubborn son. But soon, father and son find themselves gathering with their wide and colorful circle of family and friends to confront their differences, confess their secrets and celebrate life.
