Mill Creek Releasing Keoma & The Grand Duel On Blu-ray Along With Other Titles 5/15/2012
From Mill Creek's latest press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES TWO MASTERPIECES OF SPAGHETTI WESTERN CINEMA, GRAND DUEL AND KEOMA, COMPLETELY REMASTERED AND AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY MAY 15!
Additional New Blu-ray Releases Include Two Installments from the National Park Exploration Series, Yosemite and The Grand Canyon, Plus 10 Theatrical Films Make Their High Def Debut!
Minneapolis, MN (April 25, 2012) For the first time on Blu-ray, The Grand Duel and Keoma, two of the greatest and most well-known spaghetti western films ever produced, will be available together on May 15, 2012 from Mill Creek Entertainment. With renowned directors, Giancarlo Santi (The Grand Duel) and Enzo G. Castellari (Keoma) and actors Lee Van Cleef and Franco Nero this new double feature is a must have for every western fan, available for an unbeatable value for only $9.98 MSRP.
Masterfully directed by Giancarlo Santi (Sergio Leone's assistant director) The Grand Duel's originality lies in it being constructed more like a crime thriller rather than a western. Santi learned well Leone's rhythmic use of pauses and the poetry of silent moments, channeling the master's lyrical and epic style. With a fantastic music score by Luis Bacalov that rivals the best of Morricone's compositions, The Grand Duel (a.k.a. The Big Showdown) is one of the greatest examples of the genre ever produced.
Saturated in a doomed and gloomy psychedelic atmosphere Keoma is a powerful combination of existential symbolism and unrelenting violence. Widely considered the masterpiece of director Enzo G. Castellari (The Inglorious Bastards, The Last Shark) Keoma is among the greatest 'Spaghetti Westerns' ever made.
More exceptional Blu-rays will be released on May 15, 2012, including two new entries into the National Park Exploration Series: “Yosemite and The High Sierras†and “The Grand Canyon: The Wonder of the Nation.†Also included in this lineup are ten theatrical feature film favorites getting their Blu-ray debut each available for only $9.98 MSRP.
SPAGHETTI WESTERN DOUBLE FEATURE
The Grand Duel (a.k.a. The Big Showdown)
An old ex-sheriff, Clayton (Lee Van Cleef), saves young Philip (Alberto Dantice) from a group of bounty killers hired by the Saxon Brothers. The Saxons believe Phillip murdered their father, a brutal man known as “the Patriarchâ€. Together, the two make their way to Saxon City, where they can confront the three powerful Saxon brothers, and reveal the surprising truth behind the killing of The Patriarch.
Keoma
Returning from the Civil War, half-breed Keoma (Franco Nero) arrives in his home town only to find it a ghost town oppressed by a gang of sadistic outlaws, and a deadly plague sweeping through the territory. Reuniting with his former slave George (Woody Strode) Keoma embarks on a brutal battle against the bloodthirsty bandits that count Keoma's three half-brothers among its members.
NATIONAL PARK EXPLORATION SERIES - YOSEMITE & THE HIGH SIERRAS
The Sierra Nevada's mountain range contains some of the most amazing wonders found on the planet.
