Default Brian De Palma's Blow Out Arrow Blu Ray and Blu Ray Steelbook

Brian De Palma's Blow Out Arrow Blu Ray and Blu Ray Steelbook





One of Brian De Palma’s most acclaimed films, this brilliant fusion of the obsessive sleuthing of Blow-up and The Conversation with themes drawn from real-life political scandals (the JFK assassination, Chappaquiddick, Watergate) starts with sound technician Jack Terry (John Travolta) accidentally recording what might be explosive evidence of a deadly conspiracy.

Brilliantly shot by the then recent Oscar-winner Vilmos Zsigmond, this terrifically stylish thriller co-stars Nancy Allen as the eyewitness who becomes the unwitting target of John Lithgow’s serial killer as he ruthlessly attempts to bury all the evidence.

It’s also a film about the filmmaking process: Terry is originally hired to work on the low-budget slasher film Coed Frenzy, and later turns his technical skills to much more serious use as he tries to reconstruct a political assassination on film in a way that will stand up in court.

Special Features:
- Limited Edition SteelBook packaging
- New, restored digital transfer, supervised and approved by director Brian De Palma
- Original Dolby 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio
- Optional English SDH subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
- Black and White in Colour: An Interview with cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond
- Rag Doll Memories: Nancy Allen on Blow Out
- Return to Philadelphia: An interview with Producer George Litto
- A gallery of on-set photos by photographer Louis Goldman
- Original Theatrical Trailer
- Collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Michael Atkinson, a conversation between Quentin Tarantino and Brian De Palma and more to be confirmed!

It says the transfer was supervised by De Palma. The Criterion one was so its possible its the same one. If so its a great transfer.

Whilst the Criterion does look like it has better extras, I'll still be getting this one.

Although I have the Criterion Collection BD, I'll have to think for some very good reasons not to buy the Steelbook.

The artwork maybe? it's not that great in my opinion. I may warm to it, we'll see

Yeah, that's my only reservation. I don't know why they didn't use the classic artwork which is featured on the dual format release and is much better.

What artwork is that? The dual format is the same artwork or am I missing something?
