Breaking Glass 45th Anniversary Blu-ray

Fun City Editions has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Brian Gibson's cult film Breaking Glass (1980), starring Hazel O'Connor, Phil Daniels, Jonathan Pryce, Jon Finch, and Peter-Hugo Daly. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.

Label description: It will tear your heart out. An exciting "new wave" soundtrack permeates this poignant rags to riches story of a talented and rebellious young singer-songwriter. Hazel O'Connor gives a tour-de-force performance as Kate, the lead singer of the rock group "Breaking Glass." Kate's socialist ideals are juxtaposed to her pragmatic rock manager, Danny (Phil Daniels, Quadrophenia), the streetwise hustler who discovers her and develops her into a star.

Now, for the first time in North America, Breaking Glass appears in its original, longer UK cut, in a new restoration created from archival film elements. This is the worldwide Blu-ray premiere of this version of the film.
