On January 31, Hélène Cattet's and Bruno Forzani's arthouse hit AMER hits Region 2 PAL DVD and Region B Blu-Ray in the UK courtesy of Anchor Bay. Winner of the New Visions Award at Sitges International Film Festival and the Public’s Choice Award at Montreal Festival of New Cinema among others, AMER is the story (told in three parts) of a girl's growing sexual awareness and the resulting Freudian nightmare of sexual obsession and murder. Cassandra Forêt, Charlotte Eugène-Guibeaud, and Marie Bos play the lead character Ana at various stages of her life. Scored with classic library tracks from the giallo works of Bruno Nicolai (including his memorable main title theme to Sergio Martino's THE CASE OF THE SCORPION'S TAIL), Ennio Morricone, Adriano Celentano, and Stelvio Cipriani, AMER isn't technically a giallo; rather, it is informed by the visual motifs of the genre and its master craftsmen. Extras include 4 short films by Carret and Forzani.
