The Savages DVD
February 25, 2008
Well, The Savages didn't win an Oscar in either of the categories it was nominated (original screenplay and Laura Linney for actress as well as receiving a variety of other kudos), but it's coming to DVD on April 22 (prebook March 26) from Fox.
The movie only had a limited release ($5 million gross isn't bad), so for those of you who haven't heard about it, here's the synopsis:
The Savages centers on two siblings who are reluctantly forced to look back at their difficult family history. Having wriggled their way beneath their father’s domineering thumb, they are firmly cocooned in their own complicated lives – Wendy (Linney) a struggling playwright; Jon (Philip Seymour Hoffman) a neurotic college professor. When their father (Philip Bosco) begins to be consumed by dementia, they are forced to live together under one roof for the first time since childhood. Faced with complete upheaval and battling over how to handle their father’s final days, they are confronted with what adulthood, family and most surprisingly, each other are really about.
On disc, it comes with a featurette, "Director's Snapshots" and two extended scenes. It will be priced at $27.98.
