Playing with Fire Blu-ray

Cult Epics has officially announced that it will release a standard Blu-ray edition of Alain Robbe-Grillet's Playing with Fire (1975), starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, Philippe Noiret, Anicée Alvina, Sylvia Kristel, and Agostina Belli. The release will be available for purchase on January 24.

Label description: Grossly affluent banker Georges de Saxe (Philippe Noiret) keeps his daughter, Carolina (Anicée Alvina), hidden in a mysterious house of perversion after a kidnapping attempt snags a young woman who resembles her. Carolina soon finds herself trapped in a deliberately confused existence in the house of sexual exploitation and imprisonment. At the heart of it all seems to be an enigmatic man named Franz (Jean-Louis Trintignant), who will either be Carolina's killer or savior. Alain Robbe-Grillet's surreal, absurdist sado-masochistic drama Playing with Fire (Le jeu ave le feu) was a commercial success due to to the appearance of Emmanuelle star Sylvia Kristel - in one of her most challenging roles. Cult Epics presents Playing with Fire on Blu-ray in a 2K transfer with new bonus features including an audio commentary by film critic Tim Lucas and an 8-Page booklet.
