Win: Detachment On DVD, We Have 2 Copies To Give Away

By Matt Holmes /

From the producer of The Hurt Locker and the director of American History X comes DETACHMENT, a uniquely compelling and intelligent drama available on Blu-ray & DVD from 28th January 2013, courtesy of Koch Media. We have two copies to give away to our readers. In director Tony Kaye's DETACHMENT, Academy Award winner Adrien Brody (The Pianist, Midnight in Paris) stars as Henry Barthes, an educator with a true talent to connect with his students. Yet Henry has chosen to bury his gift. By spending his days as a substitute teacher, he avoids any emotional connections by never staying anywhere long enough to form an attachment to either students or colleagues. When a new assignment places him at a public school where a frustrated, burned-out administration has created an apathetic student body, Henry soon becomes a role model to the disaffected youth. In finding an unlikely emotional connection to the students, teachers, and a runaway teen he takes in from the streets (played by newcomer Sami Gayle), Henry realises that he's not alone in his life and death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world. Supporting Adrien Brody in the title role is a superb ensemble cast, including Christina Hendricks (Mad Men, Drive), Marcia Gay Harden (Pollock, Mystic River), Blythe Danner (Will & Grace, The X-Files), Lucy Liu (Charlie€™s Angels, Kill Bill: Vol. 1) and James Caan (The Godfather, Las Vegas), putting in heartfelt and emotional performances that have delighted critics and audiences alike. Fascinating, hypnotic and powerful, become absorbed by DETACHMENT when it€™s released on Blu-ray and DVD this January. For your chance to win, first like us on Facebook... Already a fan?
