CULVER CITY, Calif. (August 10, 2015) – Sony Pictures Home Entertainment invites you to step inside one of the most exciting decades in high fashion with the release of SAINT LAURENT on Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital HD on September 22. SAINT LAURENT, which was France’s official submission for Best Foreign Language Film for the 87th Academy Awards®, was directed by Bertrand Bonello (L’Apollonide) and stars Gaspard Ulliel (Hannibal Rising; Paris, I Love You) as the flamboyant genius Yves Saint Laurent. This Sony Pictures Classics film goes behind the scenes to explore those tumultuous years between 1967 and 1976, when Saint Laurent found both artistic inspiration and personal torment in the liberation and hedonism of the times. SAINT LAURENT, which was featured in Entertainment Weekly’s popular “Must List,” was an official selection at the 2014 Cannes and New York Film Festivals, was a 2015 César Award winner for Best Costume Design, and was nominated for numerous other César Awards including Best Film, Best Actor (Gaspard Ulliel), and Best Supporting Actors (Jérémie Renier, Louis Garrel). Blu-ray Special Features on SAINT LAURENT include two featurettes with the director and cast discussing Yves Saint Laurent and the making of the film.
