Triple-Oscar-nominated House of Sand and Fog released on download
Vadim Perelman's hit drama featuring Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly is out on DVD and digital
Director Vadim Perelman’s triple-Oscar-nominated House of Sand and Fog, which stars Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly, is released on DVD and digital download this week.
The 2003 psychological drama revolves around grieving widow and recovering drug addict Kathy (Connelly) who, after being unfairly evicted from her house, starts a dangerous conflict with the new owner, Iranian immigrant Behrani (played by Kingsley).
With neither party willing to back down, what begins as a legal struggle soon turns into a personal confrontation, with tragic results.
The all-star cast also includes Kim Dickens (Gone Girl), Ron Eldard (Super 8, Black Hawk Down) and Shohreh Aghdashloo (Star Trek Beyond), while James Horner was the talent behind the film’s haunting soundtrack, which was Oscar-nominated for best original score.
House of Sand and Fog is available on DVD and digital download on 1 February
