Second Run Black Peter
Description
Zavvi - The Home of Pop CulturePresented from a brand new 4K restoration of the film from original materials, Second Run presents the debut feature film of the late, great Czech filmmaker Milos Forman.Black Peter is a wonderfully wry and provocative comedy about a young man growing up in a 1960s Czech provincial town. Taking the Best Film prize at the 1964 Locarno Film Festival, this early masterpiece of the emerging Czech New Wave brought to the screen something that Czechoslovak filmgoers weren t used to an authentic testimony about the lives of young people.Forman went on to become the most successful of all his Czech contemporaries, moving to America where he had huge international hits with films like One Flew Over the Cuckoo s Nest and Amadeus works that won him Best Director Academy Awards in 1976 and 1985 respectively. Forman made many important American films, but stayed true to his Czech roots. Black Peter, along with his other early works (which include his classic 1965 film A Blonde in Love), perfectly capture the authenticity and atmosphere of life in the eastern bloc during the early 60s, and the feelings of Czech teenagers in youthful rebellion on the cusp of the Prague Spring.BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS:Black Peter ( erný Petr, 1964) presented from a brand new 4K restoration of the film from original materials by the Czech National Film Archive.Life As It Is: Milos Forman on his Czech films: Part one of an archival film-by-film interview, newly edited for this release with never-before-seen footage.All-new audio commentary by film historian Michael BrookeTrailerBooklet featuring new writing on the film by an author, academic and programmer Jonathan OwenNew and improved English subtitle translation.Region freeOriginal soundtrack in 2.0 Dual Mono 24-bit LPCM audioWorld Premiere on Blu-ray
