Kino Lorber have announced that they will release on Blu-ray Tom O'Horgan's comedy Rhinoceros (1974), starring Gene Wilder, Zero Mostel, Karen Black, Joe Silver, and Robert Weil. The release will be available for purchase on May 7.
Synopsis: In the face of a modern urban life devoid of anything but an uninterrupted parade of dehumanizing compromise and disappointment, Stanley (Gene Wilder) tenuously guards his fragile individuality in between gulps of booze. The only solace he enjoys is commiseration with his self-consciously sophisticated neighbor John (Zero Mostel), and his unspoken adoration of a warmly sympathetic co-worker Daisy (Karen Black). But as a surreal comic apocalypse begins to transform, one by one, everyone into a rhinoceros, the non-conformism that seemed like Stanley's downfall may be his only salvation.
