The first ever DVD release from that young upstart label in Montreal, Evokative Films, is coming out next Tuesday, March 10th. The French language thriller The Killer/Le Tueur is the first film to get the DVD treatment in what is hopefully a good run of releases from our friend's in Montreal.
Christmas Eve in Paris. Leo Zimmerman is a businessman who lives for his beloved little daughter’s smile. Outwardly, his life is exemplary. However, when Dimitri Kopas walks into his office, pretending to be a normal client, Leo understands that a contract is out on his head and that the young man has come to town to kill him. Overcome with anxiety and paranoia, no longer able to sleep, Leo decides to meet the killer face to face and to broker a strange deal.
And some words about the DVD...
THE KILLER (LE TUEUR) will be available in all good DVD retail and rental locations from March 10th. In accordance with the innovative vocation of Evokative, the DVD packaging is an environmentally-friendly and elegant digipack made of 100% recycled materials and wrapped in a 100% biodegradable cellophane. The packaging includes a booklet with an exclusive Director’s note and a preface by Simon Laperrière, programmer at the Fantasia Festival. The DVD offers special features such as English subtitles, a Director’s commentary (in French only), as well as NOVELA, the first short-feature by Cédric Anger also starring Grégoire Colin (in French only).
Don't forget our Hansel & Gretel pass giveaway contest and Crying Fist comes out on DVD on April 21st. You can pre-order March 13th.
I hadn't heard about a Crying Fist release. I've done some searching but can't find anything about a new release. Can you please let me know more. Its one of my favorite Asian movies that kicks Rocky's ass.
