Litan

Worried by a disturbing dream, Nora wakes to find her husband missing during a trip to Litan. She goes out to find him but encounters one bizarre event after another taking place at the village festival, including uncanny acts and a masked marching band. As Nora and Jock attempt to escape the village, a series of strange murders take place against the backdrop of a mad doctor performing experiments on the recently deceased. Jean-Pierre Mocky’s Litan is a classic cult Euro-horror and a Kafkaesque fever dream of surrealist imagery, arrestingly shot by Edmond Richard (The Trial, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie).BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES:New 4K restoration, available on Blu-ray (1080p) for the first time outside of FranceUncompressed mono PCM audioSmall Town Masquerade: Love, Death and Dreams in Litan - a visual essay by journalist Anton Bitel (2024, 17 mins)Archival behind-the-scenes documentary for Litan from French television (1982, 26 mins)Archival interview with Jean-Pierre Mocky about his relationship to the fantastic (1982, 12 mins)New and improved optional English subtitlesSleeve featuring newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow
