Targets [Blu-ray]

描述

Product Description Targets (Blu-ray) Director: Peter Bogdanovich Byron Orlok (Boris Karloff) is a retiring horror-star bidding farewell to the limelight. Bobby Thompson (Tim O’Kelly) is an unassuming but disturbed Vietnam veteran who suddenly embarks on a murderous shooting rampage. As Byron makes one final public appearance, the two’s worlds collide as Bobby brings carnage to a suburban Los Angeles drive-in cinema. Both a comment on the terrors of contemporary America and homage to the horror films of Roger Corman, this thrilling crime drama launched the career of its director Peter Bogdanovich and is rightly hailed as one of the most powerful films of the late 1960s.Extras New restoration supervised by director Peter Bogdanovich and presented in High DefinitionAudio commentary by Peter Bogdanovich (2003)New audio commentary by author and film critic Peter TonguetteTargets: An Introduction by Peter Bogdanovich (2003, 14 mins)Hitting Targets: Sara Karloff on her Father, Boris (2022, 40 mins): Boris Karloff’s daughter looks back on the life, career and legend of her famous fatherOn Target: Boris Karloff in the 1960s (2023, 17 mins): Stephen Jacobs, author of Boris Karloff: More Than a Monster, considers the great man’s final decadeGentleman of Horror (2023, 8 mins): a video essay on Boris Karloff by the BFI’s Vic PrattThe Guardian Interview: Peter Bogdanovich (1972, 42 mins): the director of Targets recounts tales of films and filmmaking at the National Film TheatreThe Guardian Interview: Roger Corman (1970, 64 mins): the filmmaking legend who gave Peter Bogdanovich the opportunity to make Targets discusses his workTrailers From Hell: Joe Dante on Targets (2013, 3 mins): filmmaker Joe Dante provides his personal take on TargetsImage galleryNewly commissioned sleeve art by Matt Needle**FIRST PRESSING ONLY** Illustrated booklet featuring an introduction by Sara Karloff, new writing on the film by Stephen Jacobs and Jason Wood and an essay on Peter Bogdanovich by Peter TonguetteUSA | 1968 | colour | 90 minutes | English language with optional descriptive subtitles | original aspect ratio: 1.85:1 | cert 15 (contains strong violence) | BD50: 1080p, LPCM 1.0 mono audio (48kHz/24-bit) | region B Review 'One of the greatest directorial debuts of all time' --Quentin Tarantino
