QUINCEAÑERA, available on DVD January 9, 2007

“Families and festivities go heart-tuggingly awry in the comical, touching coming-of-age drama QUINCEAí‘ERA, available on DVD January 9, 2007 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. After taking part in her cousin’s dream Quinceañera, a traditional rite of passage for Mexican girls celebrating their fifteenth birthday, Magdalena (newcomer Emily Rios) has unrealistic expectations for her own upcoming celebration in this critically acclaimed comedy about what happens when teenagers, sexuality, age-old rituals and real-estate prices collide. It is a reinvention of kitchen sink drama, fueled by the racial, class, and sexual tensions of a Latino neighborhood in transition. A Sony Pictures Classics film QUINCEAí‘ERA stars Emily Rios, Chalo Gonzalez (The Wild Bunch) and Jesse Garcia (Marrying God) and will be available on DVD with bonus features including filmmaker and cast commentary, filmmakers and cast Q&A, behind-the-scenes featurette and a red carpet featurette featuring footage of the film’s premiere.”
