Offering a mix of auteur driven studio films produced during the New Hollywood era of the late 1960s and 70s all the way through the indie boom of the 1980s and 90s, Cinématographe will explore the wide breadth of American moviemaking, spanning numerous genres and scales of production. Curated and produced by Vinegar Syndrome's Justin LaLiberty, each limited edition release will be housed in a specially designed, cloth-bound, media book with embossed foil titles and custom molded disc trays accompanied by a slipcase featuring newly commissioned art and an individually numbered J-card.\u003cbr\u003e\nPaul Reis (Beau Bridges, The Landlord) returns to his almamatter, St. Charles, an exclusive Catholic boarding school for male adolescents, as the new physical education teacher. When he arrives, he finds two of his new colleagues, English teacher Joseph Dobbs (Robert Preston, Victor\/Victoria) and Latin teacher Jerome Malley (James Mason, Lolita), engaged in a bitter rivalry. As tensions rise, and anonymous threatening phone calls disrupt the usually tranquil environs of St. Charles, Reis finds himself embroiled in an unpredictable cycle of violence which begins to reflect in the increasingly aggressive behavior of the students.\u003cbr\u003e\nSidney Lumet’s (Serpico, Network) often overlooked marriage of coming-of-age angst and subtle thriller dynamics is a deft adaptation of Robert Marasco’s (Burnt Offerings) play of the same name. Featuring claustrophobic photography by Gerald Hirschfeld (Fail-Safe) accompanied by a paranoia-inducing score from Michael Small (Klute, The Stepford Wives), CHILD’S PLAY is vintage Lumet. Cinématographe is proud to present this beguiling entry in the career of America’s most treasured auteurs in a brand new 2K restoration from its original camera negative.\u003cbr\u003e\ndirected by: Sidney Lumet\u003cbr\u003e\nstarring: James Mason, Robert Preston, Beau Bridges\u003cbr\u003e\n1972 \/ 100 min \/ 1.85:1 \/ English DTS-HD MA 1.0\u003cbr\u003e\nAdditional info:\u003cbr\u003e\nRegion A Blu-ray\u003cbr\u003e\nNew Audio Commentary by film historian Adrian Martin \u003cbr\u003e\nPlay to Strengths: Sidney Lumet, Stagecraft and Cinemacraft - a new video essay by film historian Daniel Kremer \u003cbr\u003e\nDesigning Lumet - an interview with production designer Philip Rosenberg\u003cbr\u003e\nOne Stop on the Road to Serpico - a new documentary short by Daniel Griffith\u003cbr\u003e\nSidney Lumet on Charlie Rose - a full, 42 minute interview between director Sidney Lumet and journalist Charlie Rose, recorded in 2006\u003cbr\u003e\nOne Step Further: Becoming Lumet - An hour long documentary chronicling the first half of Sidney Lumet's career\u003cbr\u003e\nNew text essays by film critic Mitchell Beaupre, and culture writers Patrick Dahl and Madelyn Sutton\u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish SDH subtitles\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cinema Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42089508569173,"sku":"VINCIN-013-CASE","price":55.18,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3032\/6613\/files\/vincin-013-case.png?v=1777671632","url":"https:\/\/cinemacellar.com\/products\/childs-play-1972-blu-ray-limited-edition-mediabook_vincin-013-case","provider":"Cinema Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
