BLU-RAY Cruising (1980) Arrow Films UK - Al Pacino

Aikoinaan Suomessa neljään otteeseen (vuosina 1980-1981) raaistavana kielletty William Friedkinin ohjaama klassikko, CRUISING - YÖN KUNINGAS (1980) tässä Arrow Filmsin mainiona brittijulkaisuna. Ei siis sisällä suomitekstejä, enkkutekstit kylläkin sekä lukuisia extroja.

Ostin tämän käytettynä ja vaikka pidänkin tätä uudenveroisena, niin merkkaan "vain" hyväkuntoiseksi, niin ei tule mahdolliselle uudelle omistajalle pettymystä.

Lähetyskulut lisätään, myös nouto mahdollinen. Maksu tilisiirtona.

Academy Award-winner William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection) directs Al Pacino as an undercover cop pitched into New York's seedy underbelly in Cruising – available for the first time on Blu-ray in a brand new director-approved transfer.

New York is caught in the grip of a sadistic serial killer who is preying on the patrons of the city's underground bars. Captain Edelson (Paul Sorvino) tasks young rookie Steve Burns (Pacino) with infiltrating the S&M subculture to try and lure the killer out of the shadows – but as he immerses himself deeper and deeper into the underworld, Steve risks losing his own identity in the process.

Taking the premise and title from reporter Gerald Walker's novel, Cruising was the subject of great controversy at the time of its release and remains a challenging and remarkable movie to this day, with Pacino's haunted lead performance as its magnetic centrepiece.
