Music Box nabs German duo

Film unit acquires rights to 'North,' 'Cloud 9'

Music Box has acquired North American rights to two German features -- "North Face" by Philipp Stozl from Beta Cinema and "Cloud 9" by Andreas Dresen from Match Factory.

Music Box will release both pics in the third quarter.

"North Face" is an adventure film set in 1936 about the competition to climb the Eiger massif, the most dangerous unclimbed surface in the Alps.

"Cloud 9," centered on a 67-year-old woman who rediscovers her sexuality, won an Un Certain Regard jury award at Cannes last year.
