Radiance kohta loppuunmyyty laatujulkaisu. Kyseessä on single pressing, eli uusinta painosta / standardi versiota ei ole tulossa.

Kerran katsottu ennen kuin palautettu takaisin alkuperäiseen suojamuoviin, eli on täysi uudenveroisessa kunnossa. Toimii normaalissa suomalaisessa soittimessa ja sisältää englanti tekstit.

Hieman Kubrickin Barry Lyndon tyylinen, mutta tosin vuotta aikaisemmin julkaistu.

After the fall of Napoleon, the Restoration begins. Fulvio (Marcello Mastroianni, La dolce vita), an aristocrat who has dedicated his life to the revolution has become disillusioned and his cowardice keeps him from joining his comrades. As he struggles to manage his evasion and lies he gets swept up in a suicidal uprising in Southern Italy. Stunningly photographed with lush period detail and featuring the Taviani brothers' trademark magic realism and absurdist irony, Allonsanfàn has Mastroianni on top form as the reluctant insurgent and one of Ennio Morricone’s finest scores. Radiance Films is proud to present this essential film on Blu-ray for the first time in the world.

Press & Awards:

Official Selection - Cannes Film Festival Director's Fortnight, Locarno International Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, BFI London Film Festival

“A film of extraordinary density and allusiveness from its opening moments, a torrent of baroque images, extravagant musics and stylistic rhetoric, posited somewhere between 19th-century melodrama and popular opera…The result may be somewhat muted politically, but it’s aesthetically thrilling.” - Monthly Film Bulletin

"A film with an even greater thrust of excitement than the Tavianis' subsequent Padre Padrone." - Time Out

"a much richer film than a simplistic political reading permits. Mastroianni could hardly be more perfectly cast" - Sight & Sound
