20th Century Fox Benelux has informed us that The Monument’s Men that’s been directed by George Clooney will be available on 9th July on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD.
An unlikely World War II platoon is tasked to rescue art masterpieces from Nazi thieves and return them to their owners.
Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action drama focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys - seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 - possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind's greatest achievements. From director George Clooney, the film stars George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville, and Cate Blanchett.
DUTCH VERSION:
Regisseur en acteur George Clooney zorgt samen met zijn topcast voor de succesvolle verfilming van het waargebeurde verhaal The Monuments Men, wat zich afspeelt tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. THE MONUMENTS MEN vertelt het verhaal van een groep van zeven mannen die kunstwerken moeten beschermen tijdens barre oorlogstijden, zodat deze niet verloren gaan. Het verliezen van unieke kunstwerken tijdens oorlogssituaties is iets van alle tijden: zo raakten tijdens de recente conflictsituaties in Irak, Egypte en Syrië talloze onvervangbare kunstwerken verloren of werden deze genadeloos vernietigd. De fascinerende film THE MONUMENTS MEN is vanaf 9 juli verkrijgbaar op Blu-ray en DVD, met nog nooit eerder vertoonde extra's en is nu al beschikbaar op Digital HD.
Synopsis:
Het op waarheid beruste THE MONUMENTS MEN vertelt het onwaarschijnlijk moedige verhaal van zeven mannen die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog 's werelds grootste kunstwerken uit handen van de nazi's proberen te houden. Deze groep curators, architecten, artiesten en historici vertrekt zonder enige militaire ervaring naar de frontlinie op verschillende historisch bekende locaties in België en Engeland. Wat lijkt op een onmogelijke uitdaging, wordt uiteindelijk een succesvolle race tegen de klok om duizend jaar aan cultuur te redden. De nadruk wordt gelegd op kunstwerken uit twee Belgische steden: 'het Lam Gods' uit Gent en 'Madonna met Kind van Michelangelo' uit Brugge. THE MONUMENTS MEN is een spannende en heroïsche film van regisseur George Clooney met een sterrencast bestaande uit o.a. Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman en Cate Blanchett.

BIMFEST headliner Die Form releases brand new album 'Rayon X' on Out Of Line Records.
On their new long player, Die Form return to the minimal club-compatible sounds of their biggest classics. Bare bones grooves, cool erotica and harsh, manipulated male voices meet angelic female singing on an album that sums up the fascination of this band in a nutshell.
„Rayon X“, the title of the new album from cult French multimedia-fetish-art-project Die Form is interpretable in manifold ways, as, on the one hand, it is the French term for x-rays which are used to look underneath the surface of what is visible to the bare eye. On a more symbolic level, it can also stand for the section in the dark back end of a library, which holds all the forbidden titles or as an analogy for the photochemical process that makes photos visible. It is, thus, a perfect symbol for the central themes of the band helmed by sound-wizard and photo-artist Philippe Fichot, namely the glimpse behind the human facade and the exploration of “forbidden” themes and obsessions in a multi-medial combination of music and photography … and it also fits the new album hand in glove. On “Rayon X”, Die Form have distilled the essence of their work and created one of their most fascinating works to date. The cold, minimalist electronics, combined with machine-like rhythms and Philippe Fichot's severely manipulated vocals create the same mesmerizing fusion of surreal atmosphere and harsh club-sounds that have made the group's biggest hits like “Bite Of God” into all-time classics.
The angelic, emotional female voice of Éliane P. serves as the perfect counterpoint that contrasts the chilling atmosphere with an almost otherworldly beauty. “Rayon X” is the most club-compatible and accessible work the group has created in a long time and manages to create an irresistible pull, especially in combination with the photo art accompanying the album design that is, as always, an inseparable part of the experience. In order to present the visual part of the new release in the best possible way, “Rayon X” will also be released as a lavish 2-CD-deluxe-version in an XL-packaging with high quality artwork print and exclusive bonus disc.
For diehard fans, there will also be wooden box set, strictly limited to 150 copies, world-wide, which will contain the deluxe double CD, plus an exclusive “Rayon X”-T-shirt and a signed and numbered DIN-A5 fine-art print on archival paper. The new masterpiece from Die Form will also be released as a deluxe vinyl version. “Rayon X” presents Die Form with a perfect fusion of club sounds and art that has all the right ingredients to become an all-time classic!
