A Day In The Death of Joe Egg (region-free blu-ray/DVD)

Playwright Peter Nichols adapted his own blackly comic 1967 Tony Award-winning play for this confrontational film version by director Peter Medak. Alan Bates and Janet Suzman play a married couple struggling to come to terms with their daughter's disability using comedy and cruelty to dispel the desperation of their situation. This uncomfortable, provocative film about marriage, children and life choices is startlingly funny as well as deeply moving. First time on blu-ray, limited to 3000 copies worldwide. This combo set also comes with bonus features and a 40-page booklet.
