God's Own Country Comes Home

I didn't realize that the great God's Own Country (read my review right here) was hitting home video (let's use an archaic word today) so soon - it is out on January 30th, pre-order your copy right on here. So if you missed it when it played here in the US - and you probably did because I don't think it made it all that far outside of the big cities, right? Its widest release (via) was just 13 theaters. That's baloney! Anyway now's your chance, and the movie is well worth catching!

When I tweeted out that behind-the-scenes picture up top last night a little bit of a scavenger hunt happened via Twitter to find out what happened to the as-far-as-I-am-concerned already iconic red sweater (or as the Brits call it, the red jumper) that Gheorghe (Alec Secareanu) wears repeatedly through the film - see our previous post about the sweater and its relationship to Call Me By Your Name and Brokeback Mountainright here - and we actually found out!

We needed a couple of the same jumper for filming and all are being looked after.I've got one and @strawhousefilms has one.I try and keep a special piece from every project if I can. #thejumperissafe

(Thanks to the ever-incisive Rebecca Pahle for going straight ahead and asking the film's costumer and working this one out!) So that's good to know! That thing belongs in a museum one day. And now I am picturing what an LGBT Movie Museum would contain. One of Scudder's caps! Daniel Day-Lewis' Plaid Vest! Trevante's Grill!


Answer that in the comments, and just because I gathered up a few more pictures of Josh O'Connor and Alec Secareanu that I need something to do with hit the jump and I'll post them there...
