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.

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.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting this at all. :shocked:

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.

Looking forward to the booklet with the Tarantino conversation!

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?
