12/16/2013

OVERVIEW: Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck give unforgettable performances in filmmaker David Lowery's acclaimed breakthrough drama of love and loss, AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS. The universally praised film arrives on Blu-ray and double-disc DVD on December 17, 2013, from IFC Films.

The acclaimed IFC Films theatrical release was an Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Cinematography Award, and was selected for the prestigious International Critics' Week at the 2013 Cannes Festival

SYNOPSIS: Academy Award nominees Rooney Mara (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Side Effects, Her) and Casey Affleck (The Killer Inside Me, Gone Baby Gone, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) star as doomed lovers separated by prison bars and miles of desert wasteland in AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS, a moody collision of love and crime in the tradition of Bonnie and Clyde.

Four years ago, impassioned young outlaw couple Bob Muldoon (Affleck) and Ruth Guthrie (Mara) were apprehended in the Texas hills during a shootout that left a local officer wounded by a bullet from Ruth's gun. Taking the blame, Bob was sentenced to 25 years in prison. After having engineered a daring escape, Bob is now determined to reconnect with the love of his life and meet the daughter who was born while he was incarcerated. But the journey back won't be easy, and the powers that be threaten to keep the two lovers apart forever.

DVD: 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 English that provides a good complement to the picture. It also includes  English  and Spanish subtitles.
