NEW UK/US TITLE: The Comic (Limited Edition Blu-ray) Release date: August 24th A barmy, baffling and beguiling cinematic oddity shot on 35mm film in an alternate dimension "Stand-up comedy can be a cut-throat business, but in Sam Coex’s world, it’s downright murder… From the annals of bizarre cinema comes perhaps the most bizarre one of them all – 1985’s The Comic! In a dystopian police state reality of indeterminate time and place, orange bouffant-haired comedian Sam Coex is eager for his big break. Realising that desperate times call for even more desperate measures, he slits the throat of his rival Joey Myers, leaving the way clear for him to carve his own niche on the comedy circuit. But success can be a fickle and fleeting mistress, and Sam soon finds his career on a downward turn when he falls foul of the powers that be. Filled with more dry ice and lighting gels than an ’80s stadium rock concert, The Comic is a barmy, baffling and beguiling cinematic oddity shot on 35mm film in an alternate dimension. If you ever wanted to know the answer to the eternal conundrum “How does Pinocchio make love?” then this is the one for you!" Special features:

there's a lot of product but a strangely disappointing month: Gamera release - already announced Masamura release - i'd have rather had the DAIEI horror films The Comic - very obscure. Might end up being the most interesting... Pitch Black - been rumoured for awhile and i'll be sticking to BR Flash Gordon - UK release already announced |
