Elise (Veerle Baetens) and Didier (Johan Heldenbergh) fall in love at first sight. She has her own tattoo shop and he plays the banjo in a bluegrass band. They bond over their shared enthusiasm for American music and culture, and dive headfirst into a sweeping romance that plays out on and off stage- but when an unexpected tragedy hits their new family, everything they know and love is tested. An intensely moving portrait of a relationship from beginning to end, propelled by a soundtrack of foot-stomping bluegrass, The Broken Circle Breakdown is a romantic drama of the highest order.
DVD, NTSC, widescreen (16:9) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.
Contents: Broken Circle Breakdown featuring The Cover-ups of Alabama.

Rant-er-riffic submitted by BickfordT on August 14, 2014, 8:37am The musician's very personal onstage rant is my favorite movie moment. The scene made me so uncomfortable that I had ants in my pants and found it hard to sit still. If only we were that brave in real life.
