Product description

In the enthralling Blow Out, brilliantly crafted by Brian De Palma (Sisters, Carrie, Scarface), John Travolta (Saturday Night Fever, Pulp Fiction) gives one of his greatest performances, as Jack, a movie sound-effects man who believes he has accidentally recorded a political assassination. He enlists the help of Sally (played by Carrie’s Nancy Allen), a possible eyewitness to the crime who may be in danger herself, to uncover the truth. With its jolting stylistic flourishes, intricate plot, profoundly felt characterizations, and gritty evocation of early-1980s Philadelphia, Blow Out is an American paranoia thriller unlike any other, as well as a devilish reflection on the act of moviemaking.

DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New, restored digital transfer, supervised by director Brian De Palma • New hour-long interview with De Palma, conducted by filmmaker Noah Baumbach • New interview with star Nancy Allen • Cameraman Garrett Brown on the Steadicam shots featured in the film within the film • Select on-set photos from photographer Louis Goldman • Original theatrical trailer • PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Michael Sragow and Pauline Kael’s original New Yorker review

    A brilliant film showing some of the characteristic DePalma directorial touches that persist in his later films.

    This one is a real time capsule - a style and theme evocative of the era. Travolta and Nancy Allen are (again) excellent together and the supporting cast features the usual quirky, seedy characters that always seem to show up.

    Really interesting that this movie is “about” movies in some way - how they were made at the time and that too makes for very interesting elements.

    The Criterion collection is as always beautifully presented with lots of interesting features.

    Highly recommend!

    Love the movie and release from Criterion but there were dodgy elements to the film. Not having done any technical restoration for media I can only imagine it’s allot of work. That said, the images with the flashback scene were crazy grainy and required some attention. Otherwise with the exception of a few very poorly restored imagery this is a solid release. Perhaps Criterion Collection’s reputation has grown more than the competitors but those interested in pristine media are always on the lookout for the best quality. It was director approved so this must be the best film elements they had to work with.

    Well done thriller. A movie sound engineer out recording sounds for an upcoming movie witnesses a car crashing off a bridge and plummeting into a lake below. But when he later checks the sounds he recorded. He discovers that it wasn’t any ordinary blow out that caused the accident. The tire was shot out.
    But we soon find out that someone else knows that he knows and his life is in danger

    Plus de trente ans après, Blow Out reste une magistrale leçon de cinéma, un film puissant et émouvant, rempli de scènes magnifiques. Impossible d'oublier le sublime dernier acte. Depuis trois décennies, peu de films se sont hissés à ce niveau. Sans parler des acteurs, la touchante Nancy Allen, John Lithgow en tueur bien avant son rôle dans Dexter, et surtout John Travolta dans ce qui est sans aucun doute sa meilleure prestation. Et que dire de la superbe musique de Pino Donaggio... Un chef d'oeuvre de plus de la part de DePalma. Sublime.
    Concernant le DVD en lui-même, excellents bonus, bonne image, même si elle est un peu granuleuse par moment. Le seul regret concerne la jaquette, horrible selon moi. Pourquoi ne pas avoir utilisé la très belle affiche du film comme lors de la sortie en K7 du film chez RCV voilà plus de 25 ans. Une jaquette noire, sobre, aurait eu plus de classe pour un tel chef d'oeuvre.
