Illustrious Corpses Blu-ray

Radiance Films has provided a promotional trailer for its upcoming Blu-ray release of Francesco Rosi's Illustrious Corpses (1976), starring Lino Ventura, Tino Carraro, Marcel Bozzuffi, Paolo Bonacelli, and Alain Cuny. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on January 27.

Description: When a series of Supreme court judges are murdered, inspector Rogas (Lino Ventura, Army of Shadows) is sent to discover the truth. A procedural noir soon turns into a labyrinthine conspiracy thriller as corruption and institutional power converge. An investigative mystery by a titan of the form, Francesco Rosi's (The Mattei Affair) urgent adaptation of Leonardo Sciascia's (The Day of the Owl) novel is set to a haunting score by Piero Piccioni (The Tenth Victim) and features legendary stars Charles Vanel (The Wages of Fear), Max von Sydow (The Exorcist) and Fernando Rey (The French Connection).
