Performance 4K Blu-ray

The grimy criminal underworld and hedonistic rock-and-roll counterculture of late-1960s London collide in this mind-scrambling, kaleidoscopic freak-out. On the run from his vengeful boss, a ruthless gangster (James Fox) hides out in the Notting Hill home of a reclusive rock star (Mick Jagger) and his companions (Anita Pallenberg and Michele Breton), who open the doors of his perception as the lines between reality and fantasy, male and female, persona and self, dissolve in a hallucinogenic haze. Built around Jagger's most magnetic narrative-film performance, this visionary collaboration between enigmatic artist Donald Cammell and first-time director Nicolas Roeg is a daringly transgressive, endlessly influential journey to the dark side of bohemia.

[*] NEW 4K RESTORATION, approved by producer Sandy Lieberson, with uncompressed monaural original-UK-version soundtrack

ROCKMAN

Can anyone provide a link to buy this IN ENGLISH AND WITHOUT SUBTITLES in DVD format, not blue ray?

Note that I am located outside the USA in a 3rd world country, and really my only buying option is Amazon USA, because they will ship it to me easily and cheaply.

Although, I suppose, I could have it shipped to my USA address, and then re-shipped to me, at my location. This would be for merchants that do not offer international shipping.

Try Ebay Chacho....


For example ...

Mick with a beard is something else!

The 4K/Blu-ray disks are out today. Enjoy!

Picked up my copy today. It's beautifully done, as with most all of the entries that I've come across in the Criterion Collection.
This is my 4th time buying it! First on VHS, then DVD, then Blu-ray and now this Blu-ray / 4K edition.
