Academy Award® winning actors MERYL STREEP and PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN go head-to-head in DOUBT, one of the most talked about dramas of the year, released to DVD and Hi-Def Blu-ray 10 June 2009.
Written and directed by playwright JOHN PATRICK SHANLEY, DOUBT is an unforgettable story that will challenge your perceptions about right and wrong, revealing also the devastating effects of blind justice.
Nominated for five Academy Awards®, three BAFTA Nominations, five Golden Globes as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award for Streep’s outstanding performance, DOUBT has received enormous acclaim across the globe.
Set in 1964 during a great time of moral and social change in the US, Academy Award® winner PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN plays Father Flynn, a forward thinking priest who is enthusiastically set on introducing change to the rigid structure of St Nicholas, a strict religious school in the Bronx.
MERYL STREEP is Sister Aloysius Beauvier the principal of St Nicholas and remains determined to continue to run the school according to her strict custom, using fear and discipline against those who challenge her.
When the school accepts its first black student Donald Miller, played by JOSEPH FOSTER, a young, earnest nun, Sister James (Academy Award® nominee AMY ADAMS) expresses her concern to Sister Beauvier that Father Flynn is paying too much attention to student.
Sister Beauvier, propelled by a crusade to expose the truth and bring the priest to justice, embarks on a campaign of blind justice to have Father Flynn removed from the school, and in the process threatens to devastate and tear apart the church and school community.
What follows is an intense, suspense filled drama that will challenge the audience’s perception of morality, truth and authority.
DOUBT, available on DVD and Hi-Def Blu-ray, also includes riveting bonus features including The Cast of Doubt, The Scoring and Audio Commentary.
