“SANTA SANGRE” to make U.S. DVD/Blu-ray debut
Wo-Hoo!!!!
One of the most-desired titles by Stateside disc collectors has long been Alejandro Jodorowsky’s shocking and fascinating 1989 feature SANTA SANGRE. Now, Fango has received word that the acclaimed hallucinatory fantasy-chiller will make its American DVD/Blu-ray debut early next year.
Severin Films will release the discs January 25, 2011, derived from a restored print of the uncut European version. There will also be more than five hours of extras on the two-DVD set and Blu-ray, accompanying the saga of a young man, once a circus performer with his family, who escapes from an asylum and helps his armless mother get murderous revenge. While final details have yet to be confirmed, the supplements currently slated include:
• Audio commentary by Jodorowsky
• Deleted scenes
• Multiple documentaries
• New on-camera interviews with the majority of the film’s cast and crew
• Domestic and international trailers
• Coverage of Jodorowsky’s forthcoming NYC appearances
The latter includes the director’s first-ever American retrospective, titled “Blood Into Gold: The Cinematic Alchemy of Alejandro Jodorowsky,” which takes place this Thursday, September 23-Friday, October 8 at New York City’s Museum of Arts and Design (2 Columbus Circle). Jodorowsky, whose classic films also include EL TOPO and THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, will be in attendance to conduct a rare master class on his films and philosophy; go here for more details.
“SANTA SANGRE is a landmark acquisition for us,” says Severin co-founder and CEO David Gregory. “Jodorowsky is one of the few true visionaries of cinema, and the opportunity to bring his modern masterpiece back to America is a genuine honor. Our restoration of the film, combined with an unprecedented collection of bonus features, will now introduce this brilliant film to a whole new audience.” Look for final details on the SANTA SANGRE disc contents shortly.

Interesting. I just picked up Anchor Bay's Jodorowsky box; this could make a nice companion piece...

Jodorowsky on Blu-Ray 
As psyched as I can get for a release. And very weird as I was just reading Metabarons on my lunch break today.

Interesting. I thought that this was never going to get a R1 release.
I've wanted to see this for years. (Though the older I get, the less patience I find myself having for movies that are weird just for the sake of being weird, so there's a good chance I might end up hating this.)

Great news, the only reason I had my Oppo DVD player hanging around is because of my R2 Santa Sangre, now I don't have to worry about it.

My pre-order of December 18th is locked in at $22.99 so I imagine the price will drop again to that shortly after release.
