Selected home-video releases coming out Tuesday

Filmmaker Costa-Gavras 1982 drama starring Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek debuts in a new DVD edition featuring a digital restoration and a nice range of extras. Based on the true story of Charles Horman, a journalist who vanished during the 1973 coup in Chile, the film stars Lemmon as Horman s father on a trek to Latin America to unravel the dense mystery surrounding his son s disappearance. Spacek co-stars as Horman s wife.

Among the extras are interviews with Costa-Gavras, Horman s real-life wife and Thomas Hauser, whose book was the basis for the film. The two-disc set also has cast and crew interviews from the 1982 Cannes Film Festival and segments with Spacek and other co-stars from a 2002 event marking the film s 20th anniversary. DVD set, $39.95.
