Candy Is Their Modus OperandiSource: DVD Dossier"Candy," the critically acclaimed film based on the best-selling novel by Luke Davies, will arrive on DVD March 27th from THINKFilm.
"Candy" features Heath Ledger, Geoffrey Rush and Abbie Cornish and was honored with eight nominations by the Film Critics of Australia Awards last year, including Best Film, Best Director (Neil Armfield), Best Actor (Ledger), Best Actress (Cornish), Best Supporting Actor (Rush), Best Supporting Actress (Noni Hazlehurst), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Music Score.
Ledger stars as Dan, a charming but reckless young poet who falls in love with Candy (Cornish), a beautiful young student who is attracted to his bohemian lifestyle. In order to get closer to Dan, Candy joins him in his drug addiction. Their passionate relationship then alternates between bursts of ecstatic oblivion and bouts of despair and self-destruction. Hooked as much on heroin as one another, their story becomes an intense love triangle - a boy, a girl and a drug.
Bonus extras will include filmmaker commentary and a "making of" featurette.
The film will be presented in widescreen with audio in English (Dolby Digital 5.1), along with English closed captions and Spanish subtitles.
The Suggested RetaiI Price will be $27.98, although most stores will be offering this for about $17.00.
