Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos' award winning Alps comes to DVD in March

Artificial Eye are bringing us the DVD release of Alps on 11th March, the latest piece by Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos. This won three international film awards, including a Fipresci prize and the Golden Osella award for best screenplay at the Venice Film Festival 2011.

Starring Aggeliki Papoulia and Ariane Labed, this has a runtime of 93 minutes, a 15 certificate and a recommended retail price of £15.99. Extras will include an interview with the director himself and trailer.

Talking of which, synopsis and trailer follow...

Lanthimos's eagerly anticipated follow-up to the Oscar nominated, cult smash Dogtooth is another weird and wonderful exploration of human psychology.

Revolving around a group calling themselves the Alps - a service providing stand-ins in for the recently deceased, hired by relatives, friends or colleagues to aid the grieving process, the film bounds from one bizarre set-piece to the next in a dazzling mix of black humour, unsettling drama and delicious ambiguity.
