Controversial French director Bertrand Bonello's (The Pornographer) 2003 project Tiresia is set to arrive on August 22 courtesy of Tartan UK. The film was nominated with a Palm d'Or at the Cannes film festival.

Film summary courtesy of A. Verdade:

"Tiresia is at the same time woman and man, according to Greek Mythology. Here, Tiresia is a Brazilian transexual living with her brother in the outskirts of Paris. Terranova, an admirer of aesthetics, is a dreamer. His obsession with Tiresia leads him to kidnapping her. However, without her regular dose of hormones, Tiresia gradually starts to change back to a male. Displeased, Terranova blinds Tiresia and abandons her in the countryside. There, Anna takes charge of Tiresia, helping her recover."

It's been available on dvd in Canada for almost a year:

I haven't seen any reviews though.

If you're around Toronto, Suspect and Queen have had the cdn for rent since last summer. I rented it because of the cover art actually not knowing what it was at the time.

Interesting, I was not aware of it. I would have to see what the video quality is...

Pro-B

Their price for this title is outrageous.
