The Long Good Friday (1980) - Imprint Collection #547 Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren star in powerful political drama The Long Good Friday, a brutal depiction of corruption and vengeance in 70s London. In the late 1970s, Cockney crime boss Harold Shand, a gangster trying to become a legitimate property mogul, has big plans to get the American Mafia to bankroll his transformation of a derelict area of London into the possible venue for a future Olympic Games. However, a series of bombings targets his empire on the very weekend the Americans are in town. Shand is convinced there is a traitor in his organisation, and sets out to eliminate the rat in a ruthless fashion. Praised by critics on release, the film was listed at number 21 on the BFI’s Top 100 British Films list, and was described by Roger Ebert as “one amazing piece of work, not only for the Hoskins performance but also for the energy of the filmmaking, the power of the music, and, oddly enough, for the engaging quality of its sometimes very violent sense of humor.” Special Features and Technical Specs: 1080p High-definition presentation on Blu-ray Audio commentary by director John Mackenzie Bloody Business: Making of The Long Good Friday - documentary Interview with casting director Simone Reynolds Interview with costume designer Tudor George Interview with actor Rob Walker Theatrical Trailer Audio: English LPCM 2.0 Stereo Aspect Ratio 1.78:1 Optional English HOH Subtitles _______________________________________________________ The Honorary Consul (1983) - Imprint Collection #548 John Mackenzie directed Michael Caine, Richard Gere, and reunited with The
