“This Must Be the Place,” from renowned Italian director Paolo Sorrentino, brings Sean Penn, Frances McDormand and Judd Hirsh together to entertain in a charming story. The film has won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and was also nominated for the festival’s Palm d’Or Cannes and now it’s making its DVD and Blu-ray debut March 12. The film will be priced at $24.98 (DVD) and $29.99 (Blu-ray).

The film brings a lot of elements together, for sure; a goth rocker and his firefighter wife start a journey to finish the rocker’s father’s own path to revenge:

“When legendary Goth rocker Cheyenne (Two-time Academy Award® winner Sean Penn), long-retired in Dublin with his firefighter wife, Jane (Academy Award® winner Frances McDormand), learns his estranged father is dying, the childlike recluse travels to New York to seek reconciliation – only to arrive too late. Upon discovering his father’s unfulfilled quest for revenge against an ex-Nazi war criminal taking refuge in America, Cheyenne embarks upon his own journey of reawakening in this engaging and unpredictable road adventure from internationally acclaimed director Paolo Sorrentino.”
