11/17/2013

OVERVIEW: Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns, Blue Crush) stars in Director Kat Coiro’s (Life Happens) romantic drama And While We Were Here, available on Blu-ray™ and DVD November 19th from Well Go USA Entertainment. Jane (Bosworth), a young American writer, finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when she accompanies her musician husband (Iddo Goldberg, TV’s “Secret Diary of a Call Girl”) to his concert on an island off the picturesque Amalfi Coast. While adapting her grandmother’s WWII stories into a book, she stumbles into a passionate and playful affair with a much younger man (Jamie Blackley, The Fifth Estate, Snow White and the Huntsman). The narration by Jane’s grandmother is voiced by screen legend Claire Bloom (Limelight, Charly, The King’s Speech). Special features include the original black & white director’s version of the film. 

SYNOPSIS: Broken love. Forbidden passion. Self-discovery. Set in the lush hills and cobbled streets of the Amalfi Coast, Jane (Kate Bosworth) is searching for something more from her life. She loves her husband (Iddo Goldberg), but the silence between them is growing. Her work, writing her grandmother's memoir (voiced by Claire Bloom), immerses her in the quiet beauty of the town, its islands ... and finally, in the romantic embrace of a younger man (Jamie Blackley). Jane must decide where her passions will take her, and who she really wants to be, as she documents the discoveries of And While We Were Here. 

BLU-RAY: The film is presented in widescreen in a 2.40:1 aspect ration preserving its theatrical format. The picture is just flawless. Not only the picture looks great in this release, also the sound it is good, a 5.1 Dolby Digital in Mandarin and English that provides a good complement to the picture. It also includes  English  subtitles.
