Independent British distributors Artificial Eye will bring to Blu-ray acclaimed director Sally Potter’s latest film Ginger & Rosa (2012), starring Christina Hendricks, Elle Fanning and Annette Bening. The preliminary release date set by the distributors is February 11th.
Ginger & Rosa, which is playing at this year’s London Film Festival, will be out in UK cinemas on 19th October.
Sally Potter directs this drama about two teenage girls living in London in the early 1960s. Elle Fanning and Alice Englert star as Ginger and Rosa, best friends who were both born on the day the first atom bomb fell on Hiroshima. The two are inseparable until Rosa falls in love with Ginger’s charismatic father Roland (Alessandro Nivola). Ginger, shattered and alone, becomes increasingly immersed in the anti-nuclear movement, the looming horrors of the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis resonating with her own personal nightmare.
