The contest is now over. Congratulations to the three winners (chosen by Random.org): Prakash Natarajan, Daniel Thornton Jr. and Susan Smoaks! Please email your mailing address to sam@discdish.com to claim your prize.
Thanks to everyone who entered. Keep check back for more giveaways.
Aaah, the wonderful Catherine Deneuve (Park Benches) and brilliant Gerard Depardieu (Inspector Bellamy) in a movie about women’s liberation in the 1970s. How can it go wrong? Potiche arrives on DVD and Blu-ray on July 19 from Music Box Films, and Disc Dish is giving away three copies to lucky readers.
If you’re into foreign films, especially French ones, you’ll be thrilled to know Potiche is directed by the fabulous filmmaker Fancois Ozon (Hideaway). If you aren’t familiar with his work, trust us, it’s worth it to take a look.
Potiche gets its name from the French word for a decorative but not valuable object, which is also used to describe trophy wives. Deneuve plays the wife, who finds out she’s worth much more when she steps in to manage her husband’s factory after he has a heart attack. But things get complicated when she falls for her ex boyfriend (Depardieu), who’s now the union leader.
The DVD has a value of $29.95 and comes with three special features: a making-of featurette, an extra segment and a spoof trailer.
You can enter to win a copy right here. Here’s how:
1. If you don’t already, Like Disc Dish on Facebook, Follow Disc Dish on Twitter or subscribe to Disc Dish by email (see the box on the right), then leave a comment on this page saying whether you’re a Facebook or Twitter fan or email subscriber. That gives you one entry. If you only do this step, you’re entered, but keep reading for more chances to win.
2. Link to this page from your Facebook profile, Twitter account, Digg, Reddit.com, blog or wherever you hang out online and put a link to it in the comments on this page. You’ll get an extra entry for each link. (Sorry, but links added to the Disc Dish Facebook page don’t count.)
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 every day for even more chances to win.
And feel free to tell us how much you love foreign films.
This giveaway runs through midnight, Thursday, July 21, and the winner will be chosen by Random.org and announced here on July 22. So, make sure you check back to see if you won. NOTE: The contest is only open to readers who are 18 or older and in the U.S.
