Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray releases of Henri Verneuil's I... For Icarus a.k.a. I... comme Icare (1979) and A Thousand Billion Dollars (1982). The two releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on December 5.
I... For Icarus
Description: After the recently re-elected President of a fictitious state has been assassinated, one of the members of the investigation committee refuses to sign the final report and is given the task of investigating once more. In the course of his search, he finds evidence that casts serious doubt on the committee's "lone-gunman" theory... Cinematography by Jean-Louis Picavet (If I Were a Spy). Soundtrack by Ennio Morricone.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
From Henri Verneuil, the acclaimed director of The Sicilian Clan, comes a captivating conspiracy thriller about a young journalist, Paul Kerjean (Patrick Dewaere, Going Places), who stumbles across something far more sinister than a simple suicide in the death of a politician—he uncovers an assassination plot hatched by an American multinational company intent on taking over several French industries. Kerjean aims to gather enough evidence to expose the American corporation for what it really is, before French companies start to disappear—along with their employees. The superb cast features Michel Auclair (The Day of the Jackal), Caroline Cellier (Year of the Jellyfish), Charles Denner (Bluebeard), Anny Duperey (Les Compères), Jeanne Moreau (The Bride Wore Black) and Mel Ferrer (Blood and Roses).
