Alan Parker is a British born filmmaker, who has been directing on these shores since the unusual, but wonderful, Bugsy Malone, back in 1976.
His work has been quality-driven, and interesting enough to warrant a CBE, back in his native land.
I've been a huge fan, forever.
Think about what's he's given us:
Midnight Express
Fame
Shoot the Moon
Pink Floyd: The Wall
Birdy
The Commitments
The Road to Wellville
Evita
Angela's Ashes
and the subject of these few words, Mississippi Burning.
Why is it that some of the most interesting films about life here in the Colonies, have not been directed by Colonists?
1964. Racial turmoil. The olde South seemingly unchanged since the post-Civil War era.
The FBI arrives in the form of Willem Dafoe and Gene Hackman.
I've never seen the film look this good. A new quality scan, courtesy of Fox, released via Kino Lorber.
Grab a copy, and be immersed.
