Wolfe's In The Grayscale Arrives On DVD On Nov. 3

Wolfe has targeted Nov. 3 as the domestic DVD debut date for Chilean filmmaker Claudio Marcone's award-winning slice-of-life drama, In the Grayscale.

Bruno (Francisco Celhay) is a thirty-something architect living in Santiago with his wife, Soledad (Daniela Ramírez), and their pre-teen son.   As the film begins he is having something of a mid-life crisis, which has two elements to it.   The first, he’s unsure of his 11-year-old marriage; it has grown stale — Soledad was the first to stray, but she’s back.   

And second, he wants more freedom in his design work … all the projects are starting to look alike.   Bored in love, frustrated in career, it is not a winning combination.

The second of his frustrations, the professional part, is resolved when he lands a dream commission to design a new monument in the heart of the city from a important developer by the name of Germán (Marcial Tagle).  

The emotional element of his frustration — his crisis — is complicated even further when “Fer” Contreras, a local historian, is recruited by Germán to help Bruno to better understand the history of the city.   It is like a bolt of lightning as the younger man’s energy quickly captivates and seduces Bruno.   

In The Grayscale doesn’t offer a clear-cut resolution as Bruno can never commit to either his past — family and career — or a to a future that is, however exciting, unclear to him.

Presented in Spanish with English subtitles.
