Mississippi Mermaid - Limited Edition (Blu-ray) (Import)

Wealthy plantation tycoon Louis (Jean-Paul Belmondo, Breathless) puts up an ad for a bride and luminous beauty Julie (Catherine Deneuve, Belle de Jour) arrives in answer. More attractive than the photograph he received Louis is nevertheless enraptured despite some strange details in her story. Things get complicated when Julie disappears and Louis determines to find her, leading him on a trail of mystery and erotic obsession. Adapted by Truffaut from a novel by Cornell Woolrich (The Bride Wore Black), Mississippi Mermaid is a lush colour noir that features the twists and turns of the genre with the heart of Renoir (to whom the film is dedicated) while Belmondo and Deneuve are on top form.LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURESHigh-Definition digital transferUncompressed French mono PCM audioArchival interview with Truffaut from 1969 in which the filmmaker discusses his work as a director, screenwriter and actor (1969, 34 mins)Archival interview with Jean Renoir who discusses the work of Truffaut (1969, 6 mins)Interview with French cinema expert Ginette Vincendeau (2024)Audio commentary by critic Glenn Kenny (2024)Original trailerOptional English subtitlesReversible sleeve featuring designs based on original postersLimited edition booklet featuring archival writing by Truffaut and contemporary writing on the film
