A seasoned detective investigates a series of child murders, succumbing to an all-consuming and tragic obsession with the case, finding empty solace in his quest for vengeance. What emerges is not a crime story, but a harrowing venture through the darkness of the human soul.
Twilight unfolds with breathtaking cinematography and haunting sound design, allowing the mystery to emerge in tantalisingly atmospheric and meditative fashion.
Based on writings by Swiss author Friedrich Dürrenmatt, also the basis for Sean Penn’s impressive 2001 film The Pledge starring Jack Nicholson, György Fehér’s hypnotic, transcendent adaptation is a unique and haunting experience.
Second Run are delighted to present György Fehér’s masterpiece - legendary, long unseen and most desired, now making its world premiere on Blu-ray in a stunning new 4K restoration.
Presented from the new 4K restoration supervised and approved by cinematographer Miklós Gurbán, our region-free Blu-ray features a wealth of extras including exclusive newly filmed appreciations by filmmakers Quay Brothers, Peter Strickland, James Norton and critic/author Chris Fujiwara, plus newly filmed interviews with regular Fehér collaborators editor Mária Czeilik, and cinematographer Miklós Gurbán and a booklet with new writing by Stanley Schtinter.
