Princess
from Tartan in January
25th
September 2007
Following
the death of his porn star sister Christina from drug
abuse, 32-year-old August returns home from years of missionary
work abroad to take charge of Chrstina's five-year-old
daughter Mia. Burdened by sorrow and guilt, he decides
to avenge Christina’s death with a crusade to clear
his sister's name of pornographic connotations, a mission
that escalates into a brutality and violence as August
attempts desperately to protect Mia, the only thing he
now holds dear.
Danish
director and comic book creator Anders Morgenthaler's
first feature is a challenging and controversial work
that is also compelling and visionary, a blend of animation
and low band digital live action sequences whose heady
brew of sex, violence and religion creates an angry but
darkly energetic tale, which takes its inspiration from
Japanese anime to Taxi Driver.
Due
for a UK cinema release on 19th October, Princess
has been announced for a 7th January 2008 UK DVD released
by Tartan at the RRP of £19.99. Picture, soundtrack
and extras details will be confirmed nearer to the release
date.
