In the Name of the Father Blu-ray PRE-ORDER

Quote:

The My Left Foot team of star Daniel Day-Lewis and director Jim Sheridan were reunited to make this political docudrama about Irish citizen Gerry Conlon (Day-Lewis), who was wrongly convicted of taking part in an IRA bombing that killed five in Guildford, England in 1974. After a brutal interrogation forces him to sign a false confession, Gerry is sentenced to prison, his family is raked over the coals, and later his father Giuseppe (Pete Postelthwaite) is charged with being an accomplice and is also sent to prison where he lives out the last days of his life. Day-Lewis gives an outstanding performance as a man tormented by the injustice served him. Watch for Emma Thompson as the persevering lawyer who works for years, gathering evidence to clear Gerry's name.

Sweet! Love this movie!

Villiam Hayes · 02-21-2013, 11:30 AM

Near a month before the U.K. release which I have pre-ordered although I may still cancel.
This is quite controversial at home.

Wow. Very cool. Haven't seen this since Laserdisc.

SolidBlu · 02-21-2013, 12:01 PM

already available for pre-order at amazon

Illy Scorsese · 02-21-2013, 12:44 PM

Please let "My Left Foot" and "The Boxer"(Day-Lewis's most underrated master performance) follow soon after.

Fantastic news. I have been looking forward to seeing this and I even contemplated buying the DVD.

Very good movie and DDL's performance is stellar. Should be a nice upgrade. The DVD is terrible.

Considering IMO he is the GREATEST living actor, you could pretty much just insert this line when talking about any of his films!

The Crucible is such a fantastic movie. DDL is always terrific, but Joan Allen was phenomenal.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Tepi76 · 03-25-2013, 03:37 PM

Nothing wrong with the US cover (if that is final), but I prefer the Nordic one (release date April 24th), because the film is really about these three people.

Although, Danes and Norwegians should get rid of those ratings. I so dislike them.
