Win The Queer Palm Winning Beauty On DVD And A Poster!

October 5, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The excellent Beauty is out on DVD and VoD from October 8th in the UK, and can be purchased from Amazon and Play. However we’ve teamed up with Peccadillo pictures for a competition where one lucky person will get a copy of the film on DVD and a poster from the movie. Two runners-up will get the film on DVD.

In Beauty, Francois lives a skillfully controlled, well managed life, in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Father of two daughters and a devoted husband, he is wholly unprepared when a chance encounter unravels his clean and ordered existence.23-year-old Christian is the son of a long lost friend. By all accounts he is the personification of a handsome young man in the prime of his life. Francois is so disarmed by the young man that it instantly ignites within him an all consuming infatuation and misplaced lust.

Despite his careful concealed disgust for himself, Francois pours out the lost emotions he has despised all his life in what becomes a desperate attempt at taking from the world that which he has always secretly wanted: Happiness.

If you’d like to try and win the Beauty poster and DVD, or one of the two runners-up prizes of the movie on DVD that we’ve got to give away, answer the question below and fill in your details, then press submit! The competition closes on October 18th, so get answering and good luck! [Read more…]

Beauty (Skoonheid) Trailer – Winner of the Queer Palm at Cannes

February 17, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Winner of the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival 2011 and officially selected for 55th BFI London Film Festival, Oliver Hermanus’ provocative Beauty is due to be released in UK by Peccadillo Pictures on 20th April, but to prepare us, the trailer has now dropped.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Francois (Deon Lotz) lives a skillfully controlled, well managed life, in Bloemfontein, South Africa’s so-called ‘City of Roses’. He’s a devoted husband and father, but constantly battling with his repressed desires. However, when he meets Christian (Charlie Keegan), the engaging, handsome son of a long-lost friend, his obsessions become irrepressible and threaten to rip apart his long-maintained respectability.
‘BEAUTY contains powerful scenes that recall A Ma Soeur, Mysterious Skin and the cinema of Michael Haneke, the challenging the viewer with its unflinching exploration of social taboos in the conservative environment of contemporary South Africa that also have universal resonance.’
Hmmm, certainly sounds like one to look out for when it arrives in UK cinemas in April.
