Earlier this week, a batch of shiny new Blu-rays hit the shelves, and I'm here to remind you of what you might've missed. While this week's offerings are sparse, there are at least a few releases worth checking out. Let's make a short list of them, shall we?
To begin, the first season of Epix's PENNYWORTH is now available to own on Blu-ray. Created by Bruno Heller, this episodic spy thriller tells the origin story of Batman's Alfred Pennyworth, a former special-forces soldier living in London who eventually came to work for Bruce Wayne's father. The series stars Jack Bannon as Alfred Pennyworth; Ben Aldridge as Thomas Wayne; and Hainsley Lloyd Bennett as Deon 'Bazza' Bashford, among others.
Another title that's now availble is director Céline Sciamma's PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE. Starring Noémie Merlant, Adèle Haenel, Luàna Bajrami and Valeria Golino, this foreign drama takes place on an isolated island in Brittany at the end of the eighteenth century, where female painter is obliged to paint a wedding portrait of a young woman. While that might sound as exciting as Batman-related spies, I'll have you know that the film looks rather compelling, and that I'll be picking up a copy of it for sure.
Other releases that have hit the open market this past Tuesday include Criterion's release of TOKYO OLYMPIAD, SOUTH PARK: SEASON 23, and THE ROAD TO WELVILLE.
