Take Shelter - DVD Artwork and Special Features


I've been waiting for Take Shelter for quite a while now, it bypassed the theaters near me, but the wait should soon be over. February 14th will see it released on DVD through Sony Pictures Classics.

When Curtis (Michael Shannon) begins having nightmares of an encroaching, apocalyptic storm, he refrains from telling his wife, Samantha (Jessica Chastain). To protect her and their six-year-old deaf daughter Hannah, Curtis starts focusing his anxiety and money into the obsessive building of a storm shelter. While Hannah's healthcare and special needs education has resulted in financial struggle, Curtis' seemingly inexplicable behavior concerns Samantha and provokes intolerance among co-workers, friends and neighbors. However, the resulting strain on his marriage and tension within the community doesn't compare to Curtis' private fear of what his disturbing dreams may truly signify.

Special Features: 
  • Commentary with Jeff Nichols & Michael Shannon

  • Behind the Scenes of Take Shelter

  • Q&A with Michael Shannon & Shea Whigham
