Eclipse (Flipside #51) (Blu-ray) Blu Ray

A remote cliff-side house on the Scottish coast is the weather-beaten setting for Simon Perry's eerie, atmospheric psychological thriller, inexplicably blown adrift since 1976. Tom Conti (Oppenheimer, Slade in Flame) stars as a bereaved brother troubled by memories of his twin who died at sea. Having returned to his childhood home, a Christmas celebration with his brother's widow (Gay Hamilton) and her son goes horribly awry, as dark secrets and sibling rivalries return to haunt them - before the past can be laid to rest. Unsettling, strange, and barely seen since... it was shot nearly forty years ago, Eclipse is the latest addition to the popular BFI Flipside collection. With writer and director Simon Perry's approval and involvement, the BFI is now making this unjustly neglected title available on Blu-ray disc for the first time worldwide, in a new scan made from the best-available 35mm archival materials.ExtrasNewly remastered by the BFI and presented in High DefinitionNewly recorded audio commentary by director Simon PerryNew interview with actor Tom ContiOther extras tbc**FIRST PRESSING ONLY** Illustrated booklet with new writing on the film by the BFI's Vic Pratt [show more]
