90 min. - Swiss director Jean-Louis Roy’s long-lost mid-1960s Cold War super-spy thriller is a marvelous and surreal hall of mirrors, part-DR. STRANGELOVE, part-ALPHAVILLE, with sly nods to British TV shows like “THE AVENGERS” and “DOCTOR WHO.” The film stars a Who’s Who of great Sixties character actors starting with the unforgettable Daniel Emilfork (THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, THE DEVIL’S NIGHTMARE) as crazed scientist Herbert Von Krantz, who’s invented a device to sterilize all nuclear weapons. A mad herd of rival spies are desperate to get their hands on the device, including legendary French singer Serge Gainsbourg as the leader of a sect of bald, turtleneck-wearing assassins, and Jess Franco vet Howard Vernon (THE AWFUL DR. ORLOF). Gainsbourg’s deranged jazz-lounge song, “Bye Bye Mr. Spy” – performed by him on a funeral parlor organ, no less – is arguably the film’s high point. “An accomplished spy is at the same time psychologist, artist, funambulist, conjurer,” to quote one of the characters – and the same could be said of Roy’s exotic camera obscura of B&W Cold War paranoia. With Marie-France Boyer (Agnes Varda’s LE BONHEUR).

***ANNOUNCEMENT***

Coming on September 30th on #4K/Blu-ray dual format in Australia from @Imprint_Films: #TheHunted (2003)!

Some men should not be found.

William Friedkin’s action thriller The Hunted joins the Imprint Collection on 4K UHD and Blu-ray, starring Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio del Toro in a cat-and-mouse chase, packed with suspense and brutal, violent confrontation.

In the wilderness of British Columbia, two hunters are tracked and viciously murdered by Aaron Hallam. A former Special Operations instructor is approached and asked to apprehend Hallam (his former student), who has gone rogue after suffering severe battle stress from his time in Kosovo.

Also starring Connie Nielsen, John Finn, and Johnny Cash in an uncredited role as the Narrator, The Hunted was awarded three-and-a-half stars (out of four) from Roger Ebert, describing the film as a “pure and rather inspired example of the one-on-one chase movie”.

2-disc 4K UHD + Blu-ray Hardbox + 60-page Hardcover Booklet, including a brand NEW essay by film historian David Michael Brown.

1500 copies only.
