Spring Night Summer Night Blu-Ray

With its non-professional cast, this sensitive drama explores the intimate relationshipbetween a coal miner's daughter and her half-brother, is American independent cinema's closest relative to Italian neorealism. Joseph L Anderson's film, presented by Nicolas Winding Refn in a beautiful new restoration by Peter Conheim and Ross Lipman, was screened at international festivals in 2019 and received a very positive reception.
