The Cinema Guild has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray director Jem Cohen's Museum Hours (2012), starring Mary Margaret O'Hara, Bobby Sommer, and Ela Piplits. The release will be available for purchase online and in stores across the United States on December 10th.

Acclaimed filmmaker Jem Cohen's new feature, Museum Hours, is a mesmerizing tale of two adrift strangers who find refuge in Vienna's grand Kunsthistorisches Art Museum. Johann, a museum guard, spends his days silently observing both the art and the visitors. Anne, suddenly called to Vienna from overseas, has been wandering the city in a state of limbo. A chance meeting sparks a deepening connection that draws them through the halls of the museum and the streets of the city. The exquisitely photographed Museum Hours is an ode to the bonds of friendship, an exploration of an unseen Vienna, and the power of art to both mirror and alter our lives.

This is my second favorite film of the year, very closely behind Before Midnight. I figured we'd get a short film included, but three is even better. I cannot wait to own and rewatch this.

I also really liked this film, Brandon. Looking forward to the release and the all the supplemental features included on it.

Excellent film! Glad Cinema Guild's putting it out on blu.

For fans of this one, director Jem Cohen's documentary Benjamin Smoke is well worth seeking out, btw.
