New York, NY – December 5, 2011 – Kino Lorber is proud to announce the Blu-ray and DVD release of Rapt (2011), a suspense drama by Lucas Belvaux that Andrew O’Hehir in Salon.com called a “cool and ingenious thriller”.
The film comes to Blu-ray and DVD with special features including trailers and a stills gallery. The SRP for the Blu-ray is $34.95, and the SRP for the DVD is $29.95. Both are available on December 6, 2011.
Starring Yvan Attal as wealthy industrialist Stanislas Graff, director Lucas Belvaux tells the intense, thrilling story of Graff’s kidnapping in a daring daylight operation. He’s held for 50 million Euros, which his family is desperate to pay, but his multi-national company has their own agenda, concerned more with their own public image and financial interests.
But that’s only the beginning of Graff’s ordeal. In the process of trying to locate the funds to pay his ransom, the unflattering details of Graff’s private life come under public scrutiny, from his gambling, to infidelity, and worse. As his business associates become less and less invested in securing his release, Graff remains in harrowing and excruciating captivity. However, with the details of his private life that have emerged, Graff begins to realize that his eventual release may not mean a return to his old life.
Resonating powerfully with contemporary economic and political realities, Rapt (2011) is both a taut thriller and a character study into a man whose public image belies his unsavory private life.
