blu rays dvd News | Glenn Close is Albert Nobbs on DVD and Blu-ray this May
You read that right, in last year's 19th century period drama Albert Nobbs actress Glenn Close portrays the titular character; a woman living as a man in Ireland in order to find work and make a future for herself hopefully with a wife by her side.
On May 15th Albert Nobbs, nominated for 3 Academy Awards (including best make-up), is coming to DVD and Blu-ray. Based on the short story "The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs" by Irish writer George Moore the Rodrigo García directed film also stars Mia Wasikowska and Aaron Johnson. The plot of Albert Nobbs is far more complex then what the synopsis makes it sound from what I've gathered, but here it is anyway:
"Albert Nobbs (Close) struggles to survive in late 19th century Ireland, where women aren't encouraged to be independent. Posing as a man, so she can work as a butler in Dublin's most posh hotel, Albert meets a handsome painter and looks to escape the lie she has been living."
Albert Nobbs Extras Include:
- Deleted Scenes
- Theatrical Trailer
