The Salt Path is getting a DVD and Blu-ray release in the UK this September, as questions about its story swirl.
On the surface, the box office success of The Salt Path in the UK was a welcome sign that there’s space on the big screen for dramas skewing towards an older audience. Also, for ‘grown up’ films, which can still persuade people to leave the house and sit in a cinema.
Starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs (hello), the success of The Salt Path movie happened just ahead of the, er, ‘further discussions’ about just how true the story at the heart of it is. An investigation by The Observer newspaper certainly put a very feral cat amongst some quite tetchy pigeons, and you can read that in full, here.
The modestly-costed film, directed by Marianne Elliott with a screenplay from Rebecca Lenkiewicz, was released by Black Bear in the UK. A tidy return was accumulated, and now the film heads to DVD and Blu-ray, unsure of whether the sizeable headlines around the story will help or hinder it. I suspect many who hadn’t checked the film out may now have it on their radar, though.
The physical media release has been set for 8th September 2025 in the UK, and you can find the listing for the movie here.
It’s already available to buy on demand, for a premium price at the moment, right here.
In terms of extra features – and boy, could they have some fun with those at the moment – there’s nothing apparent. Maybe save all that for a special edition at some point in the future. In the meantime, the listing does have a sufficiently brief synopsis though, which reads as follows: “Based on Raynor Winn’s bestseller, The Salt Path tells the emotional and life-affirming story of a couple whose connection with the natural world helps them overcome challenges and ultimately reconnect with one another.”
No news on The Salt Path 2, in case you were wondering…
