The L Word
Rejoin those sassy, sexy and successful ladies this June in The L Word: The Complete Fourth Season, released to own on DVD on 9 June 2008, by Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Delving into the intricate lives of a group of close female friends as they battle the everyday issues that are close to their hearts, the groundbreaking hit drama series stars Jennifer Beals (Flashdance), Tina Kennard (Angel), Jenny Schecter (24) and Pam Grier (Jackie Brown).
As the lives of the friends unfold, the fourth season shows how the group pull together to deal with a host of problems from the serious to the heart-wrenching and everything in between. Sparking debate and providing thought provoking insight into the lives and loves of lesbian women, the show has consistently won acclaim for its witty dialogue, stand-out performances and raunchy sex scenes.
New to the cast in Season 4 is Cybill Shepherd (Cybill, Moonlighting,Taxi Driver) as Phyllis, a previously overtly heterosexual woman with a husband and children who comes out as a lesbian in later life. The season follows Phyllis as she comes to terms with her sexuality and goes through the difficult, painful, and exhilarating process of coming out of the closet in your fifties.
Meanwhile old demons rear their ugly heads as Alice’s (Leisha Hailey) struggles to move on after the death of her girlfriend Dana in Iraq and Helena (Rachel Shelley) attempts to become financially independent and leave behind a life of privilege.
Bonus material accompanying the groundbreaking series includes L’Elements of Style; a featurette created by the Style Network exploring the design of the clothes and accessories worn by the group. Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey share their journey to the Sundance Film Festival in the Sundance Diaries and the show’s stylist, Cynthia Summers, and chief jewellery designer Udi Behr, give exclusive interviews.
