Verve Pictures are pleased to announce that Sally El Hosaini’s critically acclaimed prize winner My Brother The Devil will be available on DVD and on Blu-Ray from March 18th.
My Brother the Devil has put the spotlight on writer/director Sally El Hosaini, who was the winner of the ‘Best British Newcomer’ award at the London Film Festival, and has been established as one of the UK’s boldest and brightest new talents. Singled out for his outstanding performance, rising star James Floyd was also awarded ‘Most Promising Newcomer’ at the British Independent Film Awards and has been heralded as a star of the future.
My Brother The Devil stars newcomer Fady Elsayed and James Floyd alongside Saïd Taghmaoui (La Haine), and is a visually poetic coming-of-age story about two young British Egyptian brothers growing up on the streets of London.
‘To me, My Brother The Devil is a film about the power of unconditional love. Although it touches on themes of prejudice and identity, at its heart it’s a love story between two brothers’ comments El Hosaini. ‘Mo and Rashid's relationship is the spine and heart of this story and the film is about a journey from a kid and idol relationship to true brotherhood’
Bold and uncompromising, My Brother The Devil has an elegance and a poetry that sets it apart, and firmly establishes El Hosaini as a distinct and visionary voice in British cinema.
My Brother The Devil is a WILD HORSES FILM COMPANY and ROOKS NEST ENTERTAINMENT production, produced by Gayle Griffiths, Julia Godzinskaya, Michael Sackler and executive produced by El Hosaini and Mohamed Hefzy.
