ON
DUAL FORMAT BLU-RAY + DVD, 4th July 2016
A Thriller Where Nothing Is Black and White
Inspired by the paranoid visions of John Frankenheimer's
The Manchurian Candidate and Seconds, the desert noir of Detour and the black and white widescreen beauty of Hiroshi Teshigahara's
The Face of Another and Woman of the Dunes, Suture
is one of great feature debuts - by writer-directors David Siegel and
Scott McGehee - and a truly unique piece of cinema, this
director-approved edition arrives on dual format DVD and Blu-ray
from 4th July 2016 from Arrow Video
The
wealthy and self-assured Vincent (Michael Harris) meets his blue collar
half-brother Clay (Dennis Haysbert) at their father's funeral and is
struck by their similarity.
He decides to murder Clay and take his identity, only Clay survives the
assassination attempt with no memory and is mistaken for Vincent. The
fact that Harris is white and Haysbert is black only complicates a film
that probes into the nature of identity.
After viewing an early rough cut, Steven Soderbergh came on board as executive producer and enthusiastic patron.
Suture went on to become a hit on the festival circuit, including Sundance where it deservedly won the award for Best Cinematography.
