‘The Counterfeiters’ coming to Blu-ray
The 2007 Academy Award-winner for Best Foreign Language Film, The Counterfeiters will be released on DVD and Blu-ray by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on August 5, 2008.
Written and directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky, The Counterfeiters was an official selection of the 2007 Telluride Film Festival, the 2007 Berlin Film Festival and the 2007 Toronto Film Festival. Special features on the DVD and Blu-ray will include a director’s commentary, cast and crew interviews and behind the scenes featurettes.
The Counterfeiters tells the true story of Salomon Sorowitsch, a swindler who made a name for himself as Berlin’s “King of the Counterfeiters.” However, his life of women and easy money is cut short when he’s arrested and placed in a Nazi concentration camp. With the German army on the verge of bankruptcy, Sorowitsch makes a sobering deal with his captors: in exchange for a comfortable bed, good food and fair treatment, Sorowitsch, along with the other hand-picked specialists, must counterfeit bank notes to fund the Nazi war effort. If he does as they say, he lives another day. If he rebels, he faces the same fate as the rest of the camp’s prisoners. But if he lives, will he be able to live with himself?
