Walerian Borowczyk dies

Posted in Movies at 21:21 by Niklas

The infamous and fantastic director and animator Walerian Borowczyk passed away February 6th 2006. Strangely coinciding with this sad event was the release of the 3 disc Borowczyk collection from Cult Epics featuring:

  • Goto: Island of Love, Borowczyk’s hypnotic first foray into live-action filmmaking.
  • The Beast, the infamous 1975 feature that is still considered one of the most shocking films ever made.
  • Love Rites, Borowczyk’s powerful last film.

The Box Set also includes:

  • 4 Collector’s Postcards
  • Bonus short film: The Astronautes (1959) (Winner of 3 Grand Prix International Awards) * Liner Notes and Filmography by Rayo Casablanca
  • New Liner Notes by Daniel Bird for the Beast
  • English subtitles
  • Anamorphic Widescreen versions
