Love Again (Comedy, Drama, Romance)

A heartwarming journey of second chances and endless romance, the romantic comedy “Love Again” comes to Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, July 18, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

What if a random text message led to the love of your life? Dealing with the loss of her fiancé, Mira Ray (Priyanka Chopra Jonas, “Citadel”) sends a series of romantic texts to his old cell phone number — not realizing the number was reassigned to Rob Burns’ new work phone. A journalist, Rob (Sam Heughan, “Outlander”) is captivated by the honesty in the beautifully confessional texts. When he’s assigned to write a profile of megastar Celine Dion (playing herself in her first film role), he enlists her help in figuring out how to meet Mira in person and win her heart.

Special features on the release include six deleted scenes and the featurette “Finding Love Again.”

Persian Lessons (Drama, War)

Directed by Vadim Perelman (“House of Sand and Fog”), the award-winning film “Persian Lessons” comes to Blu-ray Tuesday, July 18, from Cohen Media Group.

Occupied France, 1942. Gilles (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, “One Year, One Night”) is arrested by SS soldiers alongside other Jews and sent to a camp in Germany. He narrowly avoids sudden execution by swearing to the guards that he is not Jewish, but Persian. This lie temporarily saves him, but Gilles gets assigned a life-or-death mission: to teach Farsi to Head of Camp Koch (Lars Eidinger, “25 km/h”), who dreams of opening a restaurant in Iran once the war is over. Through an ingenious trick, Gilles manages to survive by inventing words of “Farsi” every day and teaching them to Koch. The particular relationship between the two men sparks the jealousy of other prisoners and SS guards towards Gilles. And while the suspicions of Koch grow every day, Gilles understands that he will not be able to keep his secret very long.

“Persian Lessons” is presented in German, English, French, Italian and Farsi with English subtitles.
