British label Shameless Entertainment has informed us that it is preparing a 4K Blu-ray release of Dario Argento's cult film Four Flies on Grey Velvet(1971), starring Mimsy Farmer, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Bud Spencer, Aldo Bufi Landi, and Michael Brandon. The release is expected to arrive on the market this summer.
Description: Dario Argento describes FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET as a deeply personal exploration of his inner turmoil: "I decided to let loose, go crazy, and unleash all my creativity and personal nightmares. Psychoanalysis plays a major role in the film because it's partly autobiographical – rather Freudian, in fact."
Celebrated rock musician Roberto Tobias (Michael Brandon) is thrust into a nightmare. Framed for a brutal stabbing, he soon finds himself ensnared in a web of senseless murders. The only clue to the deranged killer lies in a cryptic image captured on a victim's retina. Roberto's desperate search for truth will push him to the brink of madness, culminating in a shocking climax.
With Argento's signature blend of terror and visual opulence—and Ennio Morricone's haunting score— FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET reaches an unforgettable slow-motion finale in breathtaking cinematic style.
