Film Movement has announced that they will be releasing the atmospheric thriller Servants on Digital and DVD on April 12, 2022.

The DVD release will also feature the bonus short “A Good Story.” Get details below!
Synopsis: In Czechoslovakia, 1980, the totalitarian Communist regime demands allegiance from all its subjects, including the clergy. SERVANTS follows Michal and Juraj, two conflicted novitiates whose seminary is under increasing pressure by the Party to mold its students into satisfactory citizens. With the school on the brink of dissolution, and its head priest a target for blackmail, Michal and Juraj will have to choose between collaborating with the government as informants, or becoming targets of the secret police. Shot in striking, atmospheric black-and-white, SERVANTS, from director Ivan Ostrochovsky, is both a brooding morality tale and a taut political thriller “that jitters and shivers with anti-authoritarian sentiment beneath its serene monochrome aesthetic” (Variety).
- Bonus Short Film — A Good Story (Directed by Martin-Christopher Bode | Cinematography by Christopher Doyle | German with English subtitles | 20 minutes) A woman offers to pay an exorbitant amount for a beat-up old jug in an antique store but the owner says he will only part with it if she tells him a good story about herself.
