It was revealed this past
week that Breaking Glass Pictures has three new-to-DVD releases planned for the
month of August.
Arriving at retail on
Aug. 12 is writer/director Britta Sjogren’s Redemption Trail, a warm
and lyrical tale of two very different, troubled and even broken young women
who discover a path to healing by helping each other.
In what plays out in the
tradition of a Western motif, Tess (LisaGay Hamilton — Go For Sisters, True
Crime), carries baggage of a violent past and has turned to the land
(ranching in the Petaluma area for an absentee owner) for peace and
solitude. It is here that she crosses
paths with the shallow, suburban and career-minded Anna (Lily Rabe — as Misty
Day in American Horror Story), whose upscale lifestyle has come unglued
as the result of a family tragedy.
Distraught, suicide is her only option.
The serenity of their
surroundings, which serves as a nice visual counterpoint to the very diverse lifestyles
that the two have abandoned, gives each a chance to heal emotionally. But such an idyllically place — seemingly
out of time — only exists so long as the outside world doesn’t intrude … and
intrude it must!
On Aug. 26 look for the
DVD debut of Brazilian filmmaker Cao Hamburger’s, Xingu, a
filmed-on-location biopic about the Villas Boas brothers and their discovery of
the Xingu tribe during the 1940s and the efforts that followed by them to
preserve the Xingu’s pre-Columbian culture.
The DVD release of Xingu
is presented in Portuguese with English subtitles and includes as the bonus
“Making of Xingu” production featurette.
Lastly, Mexican filmmaker
Julián Hernández's I Am Happiness on Earth will make its domestic DVD debut on
Aug. 19. In Spanish with English
subtitles.
