"Actor: Mark Burns"

• A Day at the Beach (Limited Edition) | Blu Ray | (23/06/2025) from £17.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Mark Burns (Death in Venice) and Beatrice Edney (Highlander) star in A Day at the Beach, a downbeat tale of alcoholism written by Roman Polanski (Chinatown), produced by regular Polanski collaborator Gene Gutowski (Cul-de-Sac, The Pianist), and shot by celebrated cinematographer Gilbert Taylor (Repulsion, Star Wars). When Bernie (Burns) takes a little girl, Winnie (Edney) who may or may not be his niece or perhaps daughter for a trip to a decrepit Danish seaside town on a day of heavy rain, he sets about cajoling the locals in a desperate quest for alcohol, leaving his young charge to fend for herself. The sole feature-film credit for director Simon Hesera, A Day at the Beach received scant distribution at the time of its production, but after having been lost for decades it was eventually revived and re-released to critical acclaim, with audiences particularly interested to discover the charismatic cameo appearances by British comedy legends Peter Sellers (The Blockhouse, Hoffman) and Graham Stark (The Wrong Box).

• Death In Venice (1971) | Blu Ray | (18/03/2019) from £17.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Luchino Visconti's sublime meditation on mortality and desire, in a major new restoration. Based on the classic novella by Thomas Mann, this latecareer masterpiece from Luchino Visconti (The Leopard) is a meditation on the nature of art, the allure of beauty, and the inescapability of death. A fastidious composer reeling from a disastrous concert, Gustav von Aschenbach (Dirk Bogarde, in an exquisitely nuanced performance) travels to Venice to recover. There, he is struck by a vision of pure beauty in the form of a young boy (Björn Andrésen), his infatuation developing into an obsession even as rumours of a plague spread through the city. Setting Mann's story of queer desire and bodily decay against the sublime music of Gustav Mahler, Death in Venice is one of cinema's most exalted literary adaptations, as sensually rich as it is allegorically resonant. Features: New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Luchino Visconti: Life as in a Romance, a 2008 documentary about Visconti, featuring actors Burt Lancaster, Silvana Mangano, and Marcello Mastroianni; filmmakers Francesco Rosi and Franco Zeffirelli Alla ricerca di Tadzio, a 1970 programme on Visconti's efforts to cast the role of Tadzio New programme featuring literature and cinema scholar Stefano Albertini Interview from 2006 with costume designer Piero Tosi Excerpt from a 1990 programme about the music in Visconti's films, featuring Bogarde and actor Marisa Berenson Television broadcast from 1971 in which Visconti discusses the film Visconti's Venice, a short 1970 behindthescenes documentary featuring Visconti and Bogarde Trailer PLUS: An essay by critic Dennis Lim
