Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One, Guilt Machine) & Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering, Devin Townsend Project) are set to release the debut album The Diary from their new band The Gentle Storm on March 23, and following the release of the track ‘Endless Sea’, they are pleased to launch the video for the track ‘Heart of Amsterdam’
Anneke had this to say: “Heart Of Amsterdam is a tribute to the city of Amsterdam, the home town of the story’s leading character Susanne. Seventeenth-century Amsterdam was a centre of shipping, shipbuilding, and trade. Amsterdam flourished, and a wonderful city was the result. We shot the video in the centre of Amsterdam. It was freezing cold and I couldn’t move my fingers anymore during the last shots, but it was all worth it. I love how the video turned out!”
A full all-star band will go out without Arjen in March and April, and the confirmed dates and band line-up can be found below.

Out on 18th March on Lumière: La Prochaine Vois Je Viserai Le Coeur
Director: Cédric Anger
Stars: Guillaume Canet, Ana Girardot, Jean-Yves Berteloot
For several months during 1978-1979 inhabitants of Oise region live in fright and terror as a serial killer disturbs the peace and quiet.
Vanaf 18 maart op Lumière : La Prochaine Vois Je Viserai Le Coeur
Een film van Cédric Anger (L'avocat), met Guillaume Canet (Jeux d'enfants, The Beach), Ana Girardot (Simon Werner a disparu..., Le beau monde) Jean-Yves Berteloot (The Davinci Code, Die Flucht).
De Franse steracteur Guillaume Canet levert een stevige acteerprestatie in deze opzienbarende psycho-thriller, gebaseerd op het waargebeurde verhaal van Alain Lamare, de “tueur de l’Oise”.
In 1978 en 1979 werden de inwoners van het Franse departement van de Oise opgeschrikt door een reeks moorden die angst en terreur zaaide over heel de streek. De maniak in kwestie had het telkens gemunt op jonge vrouwen, geheel willekeurig gekozen. De dader is overal en nergens, ontsnapt met gemak aan de klauwen van de rechercheurs en ontloopt alle wegcontroles. Niet zo vreemd aangezien de moordenaar in realiteit een jonge, timide gendarme is met een smetteloos blazoen en een schijnbaar doodsaai privéleven.

Maar, terwijl verschillende minnaars naar haar hand dingen wordt prinses Kaguya met haar onvermijdelijke lot geconfronteerd.

Arrow Films, the distributors of The Hunt, A Hijacking and Love Is All You Need, are pleased to announce the DVD release of the acclaimed Austrian feature, Amour Fou, which debuted in the Un Certain Regard strand at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival to a host of positive reviews. Amour Fou is the follow up to director Jessica Hausner’s acclaimed 2009 picture Lourdes and will be released on DVD from 9th March 2015.
Berlin, the Romantic Era. Young poet Heinrich (Christian Friedel, White Ribbon) wishes to conquer the inevitability of death through love, yet is unable to convince his sceptical cousin Marie to join him in a suicide pact. It is whilst coming to terms with this refusal, ineffably distressed by his cousin's insensitivity to the depth of his feelings, that Heinrich meets Henriette (Birte Schnoeink), the wife of a business acquaintance. Heinrich's subsequent offer to the beguiling young woman at first holds scant appeal that is until Henriette discovers she is suffering from a terminal illness. AMOUR FOU is a "romantic comedy" based loosely on the suicide of the poet Henrich von Kleist in 1811.
ON DVD 9th MARCH 2015
A complex and exquisitely filmed exploration of a man's desire to find a woman willing to die with him.
The Hollywood Reporter
A dryly amusing and ambiguously layered account of the famed double suicide of Heinrich von Kleist and Henriette Vogel.
Variety
