The Apple (1980), starring Catherine Mary Stewart, George Gilmour, and Grace Kennedy. The release, which will be distributed by Kino Lorber, will be available for purchase on June 6.
Synopsis: Take a trip back to a time when rock ruled the world, with this mind-blowing, deliriously decadent musical that's a psychedelic feast for the senses and "a camp lover's delight" (American Cinematheque)! Deliciously decadent and exploding with glitter and glam, The Apple is a psychedelic sci-fi feast for the senses!
When folk singers Alphie and Bibi enter the World Vision song contest, their wholesome appeal catches the evil eye of music mogul Mr. Boogalow, a Faustian fiend who promises the pair fame and fortune. Seduced by Boogalow's devilish denizens, Bibi surrenders her soul and soon becomes a superstar...and a pawn in Boogalow's plot to take over the planet with the power of pop music! Now, Alphie must free Bibi from Boogalow...and save the world from rock-and-roll ruin!
