The Golden Door on DVD Jan 8th

Unearth a new world where passion collides with the American dream when you journey past the Golden Door on January 8th from Miramax Home Entertainment Oscar®-winning director Martin Scorsese (“The Departed,” 2006) presents this epic, trans-Atlantic love story romance starring Charlotte Gainsbourg (“21 Grams”) and Vincenzo Amato (“Respiro”) as immigrants who fall in love during a voyage from the Old World to New York at the turn-of-the-20th century. But neither of the newfound sweethearts is prepared for the tumultuous events at Ellis Island, where their families are separated, stretching the limits of their passion. The breathtaking story is a testament to the American dream and the people who risked everything for it.

Dubbed by Variety as “imaginative, intelligent and attractive,” Golden Door was the 2006 winner of the Venice Film Festival’s Silver Lion Award and an official selection at last year’s Toronto Film Festival as well as the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. Director Emanuele Crialese received a Best Director nomination at the 2006 European Film Awards.
