Entertainment One has acquired the North American distribution rights for Brian De Palma's latest film, Passion (2012). The film stars Noomi Rapace, Rachel McAdams and Paul Anderson, and had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival earlier this year, where it was nominated for the prestigious Golden Lion Award.
Passion, a co-production between Germany and France, is an erotic thriller in the tradition of Dressed to Kill and Basic Instinct. The film tells the story of a deadly power struggle between two women in the dog-eat-dog world of international business. Christine possesses the natural elegance and casual ease associated with one who has a healthy relationship with money and power. Innocent, lovely and easily exploited, her admiring protegée Isabelle is full of cuttingedge ideas that Christine has no qualms about stealing. They're on the same team, after all... Christine takes pleasure in exercising control over the younger woman, leading her one step at a time ever deeper into a game of seduction and manipulation, dominance and humiliation. But when Isabelle falls into bed with one of Christine's lovers, war breaks out.
A Blu-ray release of Passion should appear in 2013.
