A story that would go
unnoticed in the hustle and bustle of New York City (eight million stories, you
know) comes into an emotional focus in director Andrew Dosunmu’s Mother
of George, an award-winning look at the culture, pressures and intimate
lives of West African immigrants Ayodele (Isaach De Bankolé) and Adenike (Danai
Gurira).
Blu-ray and DVD editions
have been announced by Oscilloscope Laboratories for delivery to the domestic
market place on Feb. 4, 2014. The ARR
is 144 days and the arthouse theatrical showcase generated ticket sales of
$137,500.
The two are young and in
love, but as they attempt to build a family — the pressures from the relatives
are omnipresent and culturally suffocating — they find, despite their ongoing
best efforts, to be unsuccessful in their endeavors. They own a small (Nigerian) restaurant and
by any “reasonable” standard, they would be successful, but without offspring
their marriage; their lives … their very existence is at question.
Bonus features include
filmmaker commentary and the featurette titled “A Human Story.”
