Breaking Glass Pictures will release Xavier Dolan's Laurence Anyways on home video this fall. The American presentation, from executive producer Gus  Van Sant (Good Will Hunting,  Milk), will be available nationwide on October 1st on  high-definition Blu-Ray  (SRP $29.99) and DVD  (SRP $24.99).  Laurence  Anyways was hailed by The  New York Times as "an astonishing achievement"  during its theatrical run this summer, while Entertainment  Weekly called the film "essential viewing."

Laurence (Melvil Poupaud), a French teacher and  soon-to-be-published author, enjoys an intense and mutually loving relationship  with his fiancée, Frédérique (Suzanne Clément).

The film follows the course of the couple's  on-again, off-again relationship throughout the 1990s.

The film took home the Best Canadian Feature Film Award at the  Toronto International Film Festival, as well as the Award of the Youth and the  Golden Swann at the Cabourg Romantic Film Festival. In addition to winning Best  Actress honors in the Un Certain Regard category at Cannes, the film won two  Canadian Screen Awards for Best Costume Design and Achievement in Makeup and  received eight other Canadian Screen Award nominations including a nomination  for Suzanne Clément for Best Actress and a nomination for Melvil Poupaud for  Best Actor. The film was also nominated for a French César for Best Foreign  Feature.
