Description

Set Contains: DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION DOUBLE-DISC SET FEATURES: New, restored high-definition digital transfer supervised and approved by director Monte Hellman Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack audio commentaries; by Hellman and filmmaker Allison Anders, and by screenwriter Rudy Wurlitzer and author David Meyer Interviews with Hellman, musician Kris Kristofferson, producer Michael Laughlin, and production manager Walter Coblenz Rare, never-before-seen screen-test outtakes “Performance and Image”: a look at the restoration of a ’55 from the movie “Color Me Gone”: photos and publicity from -Lane Blacktop Original theatrical trailer PLUS: new essay by Kent Jones Product Description Drag racing east from L.A. in a souped-up '55 are the wayward Driver and Mechanic (singer/songwriter James Taylor and the Beach Boys' Dennis , in their only acting roles), accompanied by a tagalong Girl (Laurie Bird). Along the way, they meet Warren Oates's Pontiac GTO-driving wanderer and challenge him to a cross-country race - the prize: their cars' pink slips. Yet no summary can do justice to the existential punch of -Lane Blacktop. Maverick director Monte Hellman's stripped-down narrative, gorgeous widescreen compositions, and sophisticated look at American male obsession make this of the artistic high points of 1970s cinema, and possibly the greatest road movie ever made.
