Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones Star in the Delicately Moving New Drama From Director Drake Doremus, Coming to Blu-ray and DVD on August 12, 2014

A bored and restless married man finds his emotional life rekindled by the arrival of a young soul mate in the exquisite new drama Breathe In, which will be released on Blu-ray and DVD by Cohen Media Group on August 12, 2014. SRPs are, respectively, $24.99 and $20.99.

The "breathtakingly beautiful" (Rodrigo Perez, The Playlist) Breathe In is an intense drama about forbidden love, the stunning follow-up to writer-director Drake Doremus' award-winning Like Crazy. The new film stars Like Crazy's Felicity Jones, the rising young actress acclaimed for The Invisible Woman and The Tempest, SAG Award winner Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential, The King's Speech) and Academy Award nominee Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone).

Middle-aged high school music teacher Keith Reynolds (Pearce) lives a comfortable if unexciting life in a suburb north of New York City with his wife Megan (Ryan) and teenage daughter Lauren (Mackenzie Davis, TV's Halt and Catch Fire). Keith is an accomplished cellist but he can't seem to progress beyond being a substitute player in a New York orchestra. However, he is reenergized when teenage British exchange student and piano prodigy Sophie (Jones) comes to stay with the family. The mutual attraction between teacher and student is immediate - despite the fact that Sophie is the same age as Lauren. When Keith and Sophie's shared passion for music progresses to passion for each other, the forbidden relationship threatens to destroy everything Keith and his family have created together.

Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said, "The exquisitely calibrated BREATHE IN explores such a fraught mutual passion with honesty, intimacy and complete emotional involvement." The Cohen Media Group theatrical release is "a powerful ... nuanced ... mature film," raved Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter. "Jones and Pearce have a chemistry that's undeniably intoxicating and strikingly palpable," praised Rodrigo Perez on The Playlist. Michael Sragow of the Orange County Register, noting Doremus' process of having his actors improvise around a detailed story outline, said, "He's a whiz at eliciting spontaneous feeling from an intimate ensemble."
