Description

Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureIn 1976 two of the key players in the Golden Age of Television, writer Paddy Chayefsky and director Sidney Lumet, delivered a coruscating attack – at once savage and hilarious – on the medium that made their names.SINCE THIS SHOW WAS THE ONLY THING I HAD GOING FOR ME IN MY LIFE, I'VE DECIDED TO KILL MYSELF.To speak Chayefsky's Oscar-winning dialogue, Lumet enlisted a powerhouse cast list, including Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch (as 'the mad prophet of the airwaves' Howard Beale), Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty and Beatrice Straight. Five of them would be nominated for Academy Awards, three would win.I'M GOING TO BLOW MY BRAINS OUT RIGHT ON THIS PROGRAMME A WEEK FROM TODAY.As well as its four Oscars, Network was also garlanded with a quartet of Golden Globes, a BAFTA and numerous other awards. In the years since its release, its reputation has only grown: the Library of Congress granted it a place on their prestigious National Film Registry; the American Film Institute named it as one of the greatest American films of all time; and the Writers Guild of America declared its screenplay one of the ten best of all time. It remains a true classic.SO TUNE IN NEXT TUESDAY.SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS:High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of the filmUncompressed mono PCM audioOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingThe Directors: Sidney Lumet – a 1999 documentary on the director, containing interviews with Jack Lemmon, Rod Steiger, Christopher Walken and othersTune in Next Tuesday – a visual essay by Dave Itzkoff, the author of Mad as Hell: The Making of Network and the Fateful Vision of the Angriest Man in MoviesTheatrical TrailerReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Chris Walker
