Marleen Gorris’ Broken Mirrors arrives on Blu-ray in August

Disc Announcements, News

Marleen Gorris won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film when Antonia’s Line was released in 1995. The Dutch writer-director had caused a sensation in Europe with her first three movies. Cult Epics is putting out Blu-ray versions of them as an early retrospective. The first was A Question of Silence and now her follow up Broken Mirrors will be coming out in August. The movie is about two women working in prostitution who aren’t happy working at Club Happy House. At the same time, one of their regulars turns out to be hiding a major secret. It was controversial when released in 1984 and hasn’t lost its edge. Here is the press release from Cult Epics:
