Independent British distributors Peccadillo Pictures have officially announced that they will release on Blu-ray director Céline Sciamma's (Water Lilies) second feature film Tomboy (2011), starring Zoé Héran, Malonn Lévana, and Jeanne Disson. Earlier this year, the film won the Teddy Jury Award at the Berlin International Film Festival. Street date is February 27th.
Ten year old Laure isn't like most girls. She prefers football to dolls and sweaters to dresses. When Laure, her parents and little sister Jeanne move to a new neighbourhood, family life remains much the same. That is, until local girl Lisa mistakes Laure to be a boy. Indulging in this exciting new identity, Laure becomes Michael, and so begins a summer of long sunny afternoons, playground games and first kisses. Yet with the school term fast approaching, and with suspicions arising amongst friends and family, Laure must face up to an uncertain future.
