Yan Martel’s Life of Pi is one of my favorite books. When I read it years ago I was captivated by the story and the multiple interpretations of it. I gave it to my husband (when we were dating) and we had numerous long chats about the Tiger and story of Pi Patel and his journey. When I heard they were making a film version I was a bit perplexed as to how exactly they would recreate a book with so much mystery and beauty. Director Ang Lee create a movie far beyond my expectations. It is truly breathtaking.
And you can now own the movie, Life of Pi on Blu-Ray and DVD (release date = March 12, 2013)
Here is some information about the film and its 3D BluRay for Home use:
A “magnificent and moving” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) motion picture event that has been hailed as “a masterpiece” (Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times), taking in over $500 million in worldwide box office. LIFE OF PI follows Pi Patel, a young man on a fateful voyage who, after a spectacular disaster, is marooned on a lifeboat with the only other survivor, a fearsome 450 lb Bengal Tiger named Richard Parker. Hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery Pi and his majestic companion make an amazing and unexpected connection.
One of the latest developments in the world of home entertainment is the introduction of 3D Blu-ray.
