Description
“In 1970, young first-time director Dario Argento (Deep Red, Suspiria) made his indelible mark on Italian cinema with The Bird with the Crystal Plumage – a film which redefined the ‘giallo’ genre of murder-mystery thrillers and catapulted him to international stardom.

Sam Dalmas (Tony Musante, We Own the Night), an American writer living in Rome, inadvertently witnesses a brutal attack on a woman (Eva Renzi, Funeral in Berlin) in a modern art gallery. Powerless to help, he grows increasingly obsessed with the incident. Convinced that something he saw that night holds the key to identifying the maniac terrorizing Rome, he launches his own investigation parallel to that of the police, heedless of the danger to both himself and his girlfriend Giulia (Suzy Kendall, Spasmo)…

A staggeringly assured debut, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage establishes the key traits that would define Argento’s filmography, including lavish visuals and a flare for wildly inventive, brutal scenes of violence. With sumptuous cinematography by Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now) and a seductive score by legendary composer Ennio Morricone (Once Upon a Time in the West), this landmark film has never looked or sounded better in this brand new 4K Ultra HD presentation from Arrow Video!

Four flies is a pretty dreadful Argento movie, imo. I'll take a beautiful release of Bird in 4k over Flies anyday but that's just me. :P
Bird and Deep red are peak Argento, when he was still a great screenwriter and knew how to put together a good mystery. Hopefully we get Deep Red next!

Agree. It's a beautiful box and looks great but the blu ray artwork was more interesting. Oh well.

[dallywhitty]

Ooooh, don't think I can resist. I never did pick up the remastered disc (I've still got the original Arrow BD with the controversial AR and colour timing). Wish we were getting Inferno, though...

[Jr7936]

i would just use the blu ray box, take out the dvd and put the 4k in, keep the old poster and add the new one and then make sure all the books are the same but either way the case would be frankenstined.
It's like what I did the waterworld limited release, added in the universal 4k in the arrow limited edition set

The new one reminds me of the new Donnie Darko art. Trying too hard to be minimal but ~cool and new~ and doesn't hit the mark at all and simply looks over done.

Plus I'm so tired of teal + white + black color combos. It's the same thing they put on teeny bopper skater boy clothes at Target. lmao
