| Crime Thriller MIRACLE arrives on DVD Sept. 13 from Film Movement | ||||||
 When a Romanian novice goes missing from an isolated convent, a determined inspector seeks the truth in MIRACLE, a white-knuckle crime thriller arriving on DVD September 13, 2022 from Film Movement.In MIRACLE, Bogdan George Apetri’s gripping, genre-subverting procedural divided into two parts, the driving question is not Whodunnit? but rather who are these people and what is the nature of their entanglement? When a novice -- the young, beautiful Cristina Tofan (Ioana Bugarin) sneaks away from an isolated convent in rural Romania to mysteriously attend to urgent matters, Apetri withholds key information about her motives as we follow her enigmatic journey, allowing tension to steadily build to a wavering precipice. MIRACLE’s second part follows Marius Preda (Emanuel Pârvu), a determined inspector retracing Cristina's steps days after her departure. Here, the narrative opens into both gripping police thriller and devastating social commentary, as Marius gradually uncovers clues and revelations leading not only to the unfathomable truth behind Cristina’s mysterious actions, but possibly, to an actual miracle as well. MIRACLE premiered at the 2021 Venice Film Festival and was featured at the Hamburg, Vancouver, and Zurich Film Festivals. Apetri was awarded the Critics’ Prize from CinEast and the Grand Prix at the Warsaw Film Festival. BONUS FEATURES - Commentary by director Bogdan George Apetri - Bonus Short Film -- A Very Small Trilogy of Loneliness (Director Bogdan George Apetri | No Dialogue | 7 minute) -- A man, a woman, and a child are seen by themselves at an isolated location in three sequences that convey a haunting sense of longing and alienation.
