Blow Out - Steelbook Edition

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 FeaturesLimited Edition SteelBookNew, restored digital transfer, supervised and approved by director Brian De PalmaOriginal Dolby 2.0 DTS-HD Master AudioOptional English SDH subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingBlack and White in Colour: An Interview with cinematographer Vilmos ZsigmondRag Doll Memories: Nancy Allen on Blow OutReturn to Philadelphia: An interview with Producer George LittoA gallery of on-set photos by photographer Louis GoldmanOriginal Theatrical TrailerCollector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Michael Atkinson, a conversation between Quentin Tarantino and De Palma, and more to be confirmed!“His [De Palma’s] best and most original work - Chicago Sun-Times A great movie – Pauline Kael, New Yorker
