Possibly because hybrids are in fashion, Lionsgate's release of their Blu-ray of Francis Ford Coppola's One From the Heart, is hopefully hitting the marketplace at the right time.
I love this film.
Part '40s Technicolor M-G-M musical (Gene Kelly was on set as a consultant), part Broadway musical, that continuously bends and blends the relationship between the two.
Originally planned as a smallish production from the newly anointed Zoetrope Studios in Hollywood, the film blossomed in size, and the rest is history.
Three decades ago, some of the public didn't know what to make of the production. I'm hopeful that by virtue of its inclusion in Lionsgate's Francis Ford Coppola 5-Film Collection, it may finally get its due.
This is a gorgeous film - shot in Technicolored hues (Michael Powell was on set as consultant) with wonderful performances and great music. Photographed by Ron Garcia and Vittorio Storaro, the new Blu-ray is one of those films that the medium was meant to reproduce.
The image is immaculate and perfect. Audio is in DTS-HD MA.
Did I mention that this is part of a 5-Film set?
Currently selling at Amazon for under $29, which is a great price for One From the Heart.
I'm not going to go with the "offer" line, but this one really is great.
Rather like steak knives on line.
Buy One From the Heart on Blu-ray, and Lionsgate will throw in -- absolutely free --

Apocalypse Now Redux

Among other extras is a superb non-puff piece documentary on Zoetrope Studios, the original concept and how it was affected by OFtH.
Also, for those who may not be aware, the other four films in the set have all been in previous release, and the quality of every one is superb.
Very Highly Recommended.
