Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming 4K Blu-ray release of René Clément's Rider on the Rain (1970), starring Charles Bronson, Marlène Jobert, Gabriele Tinti, Jean Gaven, and Jean Piat. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on May 12.
Description: When a beautiful young woman (Marlène Jobert, Last Known Address, Mad Enough to Kill) in the South of France is stalked and then assaulted by a mysterious masked assailant, she kills the man in self-defense, and in a moment of misjudgment, she dumps his corpse over a cliff into the sea instead of calling the police. Trying to return to her life before the attack, her world is turned upside down when an American investigator (Bronson) shows up and, to her horror, seems to know everything.
Rider on the Rain showcases fine performances both from Bronson, whose mix of sympathy and aggression perfectly defines his character, and Jobert, who gains audience empathy with her touch of sexuality mixed with an innate, almost childlike innocence. Featuring a haunting and beautiful score by Francis Lai (Love Story) with wonderful supporting performances by Gabriele Tinti (Death Occurred Last Night) and Jill Ireland (The Mechanic).
