Belgium comedy drama The Giants comes to DVD this November

Woohoo! We love a bit of world cinema, and here comes a bit of that very gorgeous stuff.

Artificial Eye have announced the release of Belgium childhood comedy drama The Giants, on DVD this coming 15th November.

Directed by Bouli Lanners, this stars Zacharie Chasseriaud, Martin Nissen and Paul Bartel. No news on extras, so expect just a trailer, the certificate will be 15, runtime around 83 minutes, and the recommended retail price £15.99.

Synopsis, trailer and marketing blurb follows...

After being virtually abandoned by their parents, two brothers and their friend are left to their own devices in the family home amongst the lusciously shot countryside of forests and lakes.

The Landscape is a playground we all associate will an idyllic childhood, and this film is a tale of boy-ish exploits as they naively and often unsuccessfully resist the intrusion of the envious adult world, often in genuinely hilarious circumstances.

The Giants is a charming and quietly subversive ode to childhood in the truest sense of the idea, and although sometime is tinged with melancholy it never strays too close to sentimentality.
