The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (Blu-ray Disc, 2011) Window Box *OOP!

Description: The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (Blu-ray Disc, 2011) Rare Window Box *Out Of Print! Rarely played but very special presentation of Dario Argento's directorial debut. The rare Window Slipcover has some light wear but it adds character to such a film. No scratches, plays perfectly! In 1970, young first-time director Dario Argento (Deep Red, Suspiria) made his indelible mark on Italian cinema with The Bird with the Crystal Plumage a film which redefined the 'giallo' genre of murder-mystery thrillers and catapulted him to international stardom. Sam Dalmas (Tony Musante, We Own the Night), an American writer living in Rome, inadvertently witnesses a brutal attack on a woman (Eva Renzi, Funeral in Berlin) in a modern art gallery. Powerless to help, he grows increasingly obsessed with the incident. Convinced that something he saw that night holds the key to identifying the maniac terrorizing Rome, he launches his own investigation parallel to that of the police, heedless of the danger to both himself and his girlfriend Giulia (Suzy Kendall, Spasmo)... A staggeringly assured debut, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage establishes the key traits that would define Argento's filmography, including lavish visuals and a flare for wildly inventive, brutal scenes of violence. With sumptuous cinematography by Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now) and a seductive score by legendary composer Ennio Morricone (Once Upon a Time in the West), this landmark film has never looked or sounded better. Special Features: * 4 Sleeve Art options with original and newly commissioned artwork. * Two-sided fold out poster. * Exclusive collector's booklet written by Alan Jones, author of 'Profondo Argento ' *Optional Original English & Italian LPCM mono audio *"A Crystal Classic: Luigi Cozzi Remembers Dario's Bloody Bird" *"The Italian Hitchcock: Dario Argento remembers The Bird with the Crystal Plumage" *Sergio Martino: The Genesis of the Giallo *Audio Commentary
