Esai Morales’ latest Art is heading to U.S. theaters…
Samuel Goldwyn Films has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to Art of Love, the romantic drama starring the 59-year-old Puerto Rican actor.
From writer-director Betty Kaplan, the film also stars Kunjue Li.
Art of Love will be released in domestic theaters and on digital on July 22.
The film was originally titled Simone, which is the name of the 2013 Eduardo Lalo novel on which it is based.
Set in Puerto Rico, the plot centers on a mysterious, erotic and haunting love story of a writer-professor at a leading university and an aspiring student from the immigrant Chinese community.
Caterina Murino, Joanna Cassidy Braulio Castillo, Zoribel Fonalledas, Bruno Irizarry, Eli Cay, Mélanie Ramos and Aris Mejias also star in the film, which was released in Puerto Rico last fall.
