Contest: Win French comedy Potiche on DVD

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.

PoticheAaah, 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.
