The Bride Wore Black (Blu-ray) (Import)

Jeanne Moreau (Jules et Jim) stars as the titular bride, who after marrying her love sees him murdered on the steps outside the church. From here she enacts her ruthless revenge on the group of men responsible. Undoubtedly an influence on Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill, François Truffaut’s The Bride Wore Black was itself influenced by the director’s idol, Alfred Hitchcock. Adapting celebrated crime writer Cornel Woolrich (who was also the author of the short story Hitchcock’s Rear Window is based on) Truffaut’s film is a deliciously entertaining tale that was one of the director’s biggest hits. Alongside Moreau, the film boasts a sensational cast, including Michael Lonsdale, Jean-Clude Brialy, Charles Denner and Michel Bouquet among others, and features a score by the maestro, Bernard Herrman (Psycho).SPECIAL FEATURESHigh-Definition digital transferOriginal uncompressed mono PCM audioArchival interviews with François Truffaut and Jeanne Moreau (1968, 1969)Appreciation by filmmaker Kent Jones (Hitchcock/Truffaut)Barry Forshaw on Cornel Woolrich and the adaptationTrailerOptional English subtitles
