Breaking Glass Pictures
announced this past week that two Spanish-language imports will be heading to
the domestic DVD market place this November — one from the “Old World” and one
from the “New World.”
Mexican filmmaker Omar
Flores Sarabia’s Peyote, in Spanish with English subtitles, will be making its
way to consumers on Nov. 19. After
delivering an array of critically acclaimed short films — Isla, The
Orange Tree, The Devil, The Spear and the Drum
and The
Eternal Sapphire — Sarabia makes the move to the feature film arena
with this intense tale of two young men — Pablo (Joe Diazzi) and Marco (Carlos
Luque) — who embark on a lark “adventure” in the Mexican desert (filmed in and
around San Luis Potosí) with little planning and a video camera that will record
more than just their travels.
A raw sexuality
punctuates their days together in this ruggedly beautiful landscape — the
allure of it, the dangers and the sensual nature of it mark both their journey
and their relationship.
Bonus features include a
behind-the-scenes featurette and a photo gallery.
From Madrid, Spain on
Nov. 5 comes the DVD debut of writer/director Tiago Leão’s Longing Nights. Also in Spanish with English subtitles, this
self-styled “docudrama” takes a look — a very candid look — at the lives of
four 20-somethings living in Madrid as they struggle to find meaning in their
lives.
Playing themselves are
Aitana, Pierrick, Jorge and Rita who take us on a whirlwind journey through the
metropolis of modern Madrid that features clubs, drugs, sex and a variety of
relationships that range from the lonely and desperate to the erotic and
sensual.
Bonus features include
deleted scenes and a photo gallery.
