WHITE DOG (Masters of Cinema) BLU-RAY
SYNOPSIS
One of the most controversial American films of the 1980s, Samuel FullerāsĀ White DogĀ was originally withheld from release in the USA and has been rarely seen since. This head-on examination of racism remains a riveting and startlingly powerful film experience, with superb performances and a brilliant score by the great Ennio Morricone.
When a young actress (Kristy McNichol) adopts a stray white Alsatian she hit with her car, she soon discovers that the dog has been conditioned to attack any black person on sight. Its only chance is Keys (Paul Winfield), an animal trainer focused on breaking the dogās behaviour and finding a way to eradicate its vicious instincts.
An acclaimed and daring late-career highlight for its directorĀ White DogĀ amply demonstrates Fullerās clear-eyed intelligence, impassioned humanity and filmmaking dynamism. Unavailable in the UK for decades, The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present its premiere in a new Blu-ray edition.
SPECIAL FEATURES
- New high-definition 1080p uncut presentation, supervised by producer Jon Davison.
- Optional English SDH
- 48-page booklet - includes writing on the film by Jonathan Rosenbaum; Samuel Fuller's "interview" with the dog; and archival imagery
