Premiering to rave reviews at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, The Kings of Summer is a unique coming-of-age comedy about three teenage friends – Joe (Nick Robinson), Patrick (Gabriel Basso) and the eccentric and unpredictable Biaggio (Moises Arias) – who, in the ultimate act of independence, decide to spend their summer building a house in the woods and living off the land. Free from their parents' rules, their idyllic summer quickly becomes a test of friendship as each boy learns to appreciate the fact that family – whether it is the one you're born into or the one you create – is something you can't run away from.
Regular readers will know that our reviewer Timothy E. RAW recently proclaimed The Kings of Summer as THE summer film of 2013. You can read his review and watch his interview with director Jordan Vogt-Roberts here.
The Kings of Summer will be released on UK DVD and Blu-ray on 30th September 2013 by StudioCanal at the RRP of £15.99 for the DVD and £19.99 for the Blu-ray.
The only extra feature listed is a Behind-the-Scenes featurette.
