Jean-Luc Godard's 'A Married Woman' Blu-ray Bound[teaser]The 1964 drama will receive the Blu-ray treatment next year. [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Cohen Media Group says 'A Married Woman' will arrive on Blu-ray on May 24. A MARRIED WOMAN is an often overlooked masterwork from Godard's most productive period. The plot appears to be simple: Charlotte (Macha Méril) is a young married woman having an affair with an actor. When she discovers that she is pregnant, she must decide which man is the father and which man she will stay with. In Godard's hands, however, the film, described as a film about a woman's beauty and the ugliness of her world, is also a biting critique of consumer culture and the media constructed obsession with image. Subtitle Fragments of a film shot in 1964, in black and white, Godard creates a modernist collage that is beautifully shot by Godard's longtime cinematographer Raoul Coutard. The Cohen Media Group is proud to present for the first time in the US this stunning new restoration from the original negative. Specs have yet to be revealed, but supplements include: 2010 interview with French fashion designer and film producer agnès b. (20 minutes); 2010 interview with Godard scholar Antoine de Baecque (18 minutes); 2010 interview with star Macha Méril (30 minutes); and 2015 re-release trailer.

Rick Alverson's 'Entertainment' Dated for Blu-ray[teaser]The dark comedy starring Gregg Turkington is headed for Blu-ray in February. [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Magnolia will be releasing 'Entertainment' on Blu-ray on February 23. A broken, aging comedian tours the California desert, lost in a cycle of third-rate venues, novelty tourist attractions, and vain attempts to reach his estranged daughter.

Reilly, Michael Cera, and Amy Seimetz. No other details have been released at this time.

Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Wrong Man' Blu-ray Bound[teaser]The 1956 crime thriller starring Henry Fonda will be released on Blu-ray next month. [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Warner Archive says 'The Wrong Man' will be available on Blu-ray on January 26. The Wrong Man is like and unlike any other Alfred Hitchcock movie. The story packs tension, the images are spellbinding and the dilemma genuinely frightening. But this time the master of suspense dramatizes the harrowing true experiences of a man tried for crimes committed by a lookalike robber. Henry Fonda plays musician Manny Balestrero, a man full of visible but unspoken rage at his wrongful arrest. Vera Miles is his distraught wife Rose, driven to madness by the ordeal. And the right man to bring the unsettling facts of the case to vivid screen life with documentary precision is Hitchcock. He made New York City a star of the film and cast real-life Balestrero case witnesses in small roles. He shot in many actual locations, among them the Stork Club, Manny's jail cell and Rose's sanitarium. No other details have been revealed at this time.

'Fargo: The Complete Second Season' Dated for Blu-ray[teaser]The second season of the hit FX series is planned for Blu-ray in February. [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, MGM will be releasing 'Fargo: The Complete Second Season' on Blu-ray on February 23. The all new "true crime" case in Fargo's latest chapter takes you back to 1979 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Luverne, Minnesota. "Lou Solverson" (Patrick Wilson), a young State Police Officer recently back from Vietnam, investigates a case involving a local crime gang, a major mob syndicate and a small town beautician "Peggy Blumquist" (Kirsten Dunst) along with her husband "Ed" (Jesse Plemons), the local butcher's assistant. Helping Lou piece things together is his father-in-law, "Sheriff Hank Larsson" (Ted Danson). The investigation will lead them to a colorful cast of characters that includes "Karl Weathers" (Nick Offerman), the town lawyer of Luverne, Minnesota. A Korean War vet, Karl is a flowery drunk blessed with the gift of gab and the eloquence of a true con artist. Three-time Emmy® winner Brad Garrett plays "Joe Bulo," the front man for the northern expansion of a Kansas City crime syndicate. The new face of corporate crime, Joe's bringing a Walmart mentality to small town America. His number two is "Mike Milligan" (Bokeem Woodbine). Part enforcer, part detective, Mike is always smiling – but the joke is usually on you. Bulo and his crew have their sights set on the Gerhardt crime family in Fargo, currently led by matriarch "Floyd Gerhardt" (Jean Smart). With her husband at death's door, Floyd takes over the family business, frustrating her eldest son, "Dodd Gerhardt" (Jeffrey Donovan). An impatient hothead with a cruel streak to match his ambitions, Dodd can't wait for both his parents to die so he can take over and expand their business from kingdom to empire. "Bear Gerhardt" (Angus Sampson) is the middle son, an intimidatingly large man who, although inarticulate, is the most decent of his clan. "Rye Gerhardt" (Kieran Culkin), the youngest of the Gerhardt clan, views himself as a big shot, but in reality he's just a small dog with a loud bark. The 3-Disc Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, lossless 5.1 audio, and supplements include: Lou on Lou: A Conversation with Patrick Wilson, Keith Carradine and Noah Hawley; Waffles and Bullet Holes: A Return to Sioux Falls; The Films of Ronald Reagan: Extended Fargo cut; The True History of Crime in the Midwest; and Skip Sprang TV Commercial.
