Negatives [2-Disc Limited Edition Blu-ray]

With his feature film directorial debut, Hungarian émigré Peter Medak (THE RULING CLASS, ROMEO IS BLEEDING) created a provocative UK classic and launched one of the most unique careers in cinema history: When a young couple – Peter McEnery of ENTERTAINING MR. SLOANE and 2x Academy Award® winner Glenda Jackson in her film debut – grows bored with their kinky roleplay games, they invite an uninhibited photographer (Academy Award® nominee Diane Cilento of TOM JONES and THE WICKER MAN) to come between them. Maurice Denham (SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY) co-stars in the groundbreaking 1968 drama that “leaves nothing to the imagination” (NY Daily News), now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative by The British Film Institute. Also included is a Bonus Disc of the “magnificent” (NY Post) 1963 comedy SPARROWS CAN’T SING starring James Booth (ZULU) and Barbara Windsor (the CARRY ON series) – directed by Joan Littlewood (OH! WHAT A LOVELY WAR) and assistant directed by Medak – scanned in 4K from the original camera negative by StudioCanal.

The Odd Job [Blu-ray]

In the 1978 black comedy from director Peter Medak, Graham Chapman – just prior to LIFE OF BRIAN – stars as happily married Arthur Harris, who becomes suicidal when his wife suddenly leaves him. Unable to complete the task himself, he asks a strange handyman (BAFTA Award winner Sir David Jason of Only Fools And Horses, in a role once intended for Keith Moon) to kill him instead. But when Arthur’s wife comes back, he discovers that his homicidal hire has every intention of finishing the job. Diana Quick (Brideshead Revisited), Carolyn Seymour (THE RULING CLASS), Simon Williams (JABBERWOCKY), Bill Paterson (Fleabag) and Richard O’Brien (THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW) co-star in this “crazy comedy” (Travalanche) co-written by Chapman with Bernard McKenna (YELLOWBEARD) and produced by Mark Forstater (MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL), now scanned in 2K from Peter Medak’s personal 35mm print.

The Ghost of Peter Sellers [Blu-ray]

In 1973, Peter Sellers – then at the peak of his box-office power and comedic genius – invited Peter Medak – whose recent smash THE RULING CLASS had been nominated for the Palme d’Or and an Oscar® – to direct a 17th century pirate epic called GHOST IN THE NOONDAY SUN. But with soon-to-be-discovered nightmares that included an unfinished script (re-written by co-star and fellow comedy legend Spike Milligan), rough seas, sinking ships and Sellers’ own wildly erratic behavior, the production became an unprecedented catastrophe. The barely completed film was dumped into very limited release, and the director’s career and spirit were nearly destroyed by the experience. Over four decades later, Medak revisits this personal and professional fiasco to search for answers – and possibly redemption – in a journey that’s been called “jaw-dropping” (The Hollywood Reporter), “nightmarishly funny” (Rolling Stone) and “one of the great ‘making-of’ documentaries of all-time.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
