12 Years a Slave (Fox, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital HD) came to home video hot off an Oscar win for Best Picture as well as Best Supporting Actress (Lupita Nyong’o, who acceptance speech was a work of art) and Best Adapted Screenplay (by John Ridley).
Chiwetel Ejiofor plays the Solomon Northup, the free man who was kidnapped in the north and sold into slavery in the south where he survived for 12 years before he was able to return home, with Lupita Nyong’o as the young, abused female slave Patsey and a supporting cast that includes Michael Fassbender, Sarah Paulson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Alfre Woodard, Michael Kenneth Williams, and Brad Pitt (who was also a producer). Videophiled reviews the disc here and James Rocchi reviews the film for Cinephiled.
Still unavailable on VOD or On Demand, disc is the only way to see this at home and Cinephiled is teaming up with Fox Home Video to give away a copy of the Blu-ray edition of 12 Years a Slave (which also includes three featurettes on the film) to two lucky Cinephiled readers.
