IN CUSTODY / THE PROPRIETOR (1993-1996) - Ismail Merchant Blu-ray Double-Feature

In Custody And The Proprietor New On Bluray

Product Description: In Custody follows university scholar Deven (Om Puri), who is tasked by a magazine editor to interview the greatest living Urdu poet, the aging Nur (Shashi Kapoor). Thrilled to meet his idol and rekindle his interest in the dying Urdu language, Deven's ideals are shattered when the poet proves to be a difficult subject. Forging ahead, and meeting numerous setbacks along the way, the unlikely pair eventually form a bond over their mutual appreciation for the beauty and power of words, and those elusive things that touch the human heart.

The Proprietor tells the story of Adrienne Mark (Jeanne Moreau), a respected French-Jewish writer who lives in New York - a virtual prisoner of her memories of growing up in wartime France. When her childhood home is placed up for auction, Adrienne’s desire to purchase the property and return to her homeland is complicated by feelings of betrayal, persecution and lingering secrets regarding her mother’s death during World War II. It is a touching tale about change, friendship and of reconciling with one’s past as a way to make peace with the present.
