Bluebeard(1972)

dir. Edward Dmytryk

Announced

Edward Dmytryk's 1972 Eurotrash Bluebeard gets a 4K from Kino Lorber sourced from a new StudioCanal SDR master. The SDR detail is unusual since most 4K UHD pressings ship with HDR10 or Dolby Vision. The film itself is a notorious late-career Burton vehicle with Raquel Welch, Joey Heatherton, Virna Lisi, Sybil Danning, and an Ennio Morricone score that's never had a transfer this clean.

6.8/10

A British multinational company seeks to overthrow a vicious dictator in central Africa. It hires a band of (largely aged) mercenaries in London and sends them in to save the virtuous but imprisoned opposition leader who is also critically ill and due for execution. Just when the team has performed a perfect rescue, the multinational does a deal with the vicious dictator leaving the mercenary band to escape under their own steam and exact revenge.
