THE COOL LAKES OF DEATH - On Blu-ray and DVD for the first time ever in the US!
From the acclaimed novel by Frederik van Eeden, THE COOL LAKES OF DEATH (VAN DE KOELE MEREN DES DOODS) is the magnum opus from pioneering feminist filmmaker Nouchka van Brakel. A celebrated Dutch masterpiece, THE COOL LAKES OF DEATH is a historic melodrama featuring an outstanding performance by Renée Soutendijk (THE 4TH MAN) as Hedwig, a wealthy woman who falls victim to a loveless marriage and the loss of her lover (Derek de Lint) and child that leads to mental illness, prostitution and addiction - before finding possible redemption. A box-office smash upon its release in 1982, THE COOL LAKES OF DEATH remains one of the greatest Dutch drama films in history and was subsequently the Dutch entry for 'Best Foreign Language Film' at the Academy Awards.

Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
