Garv’s Pick of the Week: The Great Silence (Il grande silenzio, Film Movement)
For the release week of June 5th:
Garv’s Pick of the Week: The Great Silence [Blu-ray / Film Movement]: The bleakest Euro-Western (and perhaps the best not directed by Sergio Leone) receives a highly anticipated Blu-ray release. It also contains one of the greatest scores composed by maestro Ennio Morricone.
Additional Titles of Interest —
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers [Blu-ray / Warner Archive]: One of the most beloved widescreen musicals makes a very colorful Blu-ray.
Greaser's Palace [Blu-ray / Scorpion Releasing]: “I bring you a message. Exactly six miles north of Skagg Mountain in the Valley of Pain, there lives an evil devil-monster. His name is Bingo Gas Station Motel Cheeseburger With A Side Of Aircraft Noise And You’ll Be Gary Indiana. And he loves to hurt people.”
The Big Country [Blu-ray / Kino Lorber]: This epic, soapy Western has been released on Blu-ray before, but the 60th Anniversary edition features an improved transfer and a plethora of new extras.
The Ancient Law (Das Alte Gesetz) [Blu-ray / Flicker Alley]: I’m unfamiliar with this German silent, but it’s always good to see more of film history becoming available for home viewing.
