DVD: "Cloudburst"
Thom Fitzgerald (The Hanging Garden) directs Oscar-winners Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker in his critically acclaimed lesbian road movie, Cloudburst.
Dukakis and Fricker star as a long-term lesbian couple who escape from the nursing home to road trip from Maine to Nova Scotia to get legally married.
With a latter-day Thelma and Louise vibe, they pick up a handsome gay male hitchhiker and encounter various other complications on their way to what viewers hope is a happy ending.
The film, which slowly made its way through the festival circuit last year to broad international acclaim, finally has a U.S. release date; Cloudburst will be available on digital platforms on Tuesday, and on DVD July 30 from lesbian-owned distributor Wolfe Video.
