Neuauflage von “When The Wind Blows” auf Blu-ray

Der Animationsfilms “When The Wind Blows” (1986) für den u.a. Roger Waters einige hervorragende Songs mit der “Bleeding Heart Band” beisteuerte wird Anfang 2018, als DVD-Blu-ray erscheinen. Neben Dokumentationen über den Regisseur Jimmy T Murakami und Autor Raymond Biggs findet sich beim Bonus-Material der Punkt “Isolated music and effects track”! Es wäre schön, wenn Songs vom Soundtrack, am besten die von Waters, dort zu finden wäre. Das Bild und der Soundtrack des Filmes sollten sich auf der High Definition Blu-ray deutlich verbessert präsentieren. Viel besser, als auf der DVD die ich besitze! Den Film habe ich sehr lange nicht mehr gesehen! Die Geschichte ist traurig! Ich habe den Film noch im Kino gesehen, Waters traurige Songs verstärken das Drama!

When the Wind Blows (DVD + Blu-ray)

Directed by Jimmy T Murakami
Written by Raymond Biggs

James und Hilda Bloggs

Jim and Hilda Bloggs (Sir John Mills and Dame Peggy Ashcroft) are a middle-aged couple, who believe that the British government is in control as they prepare for Nuclear War. When the countdown begins they roll up their shirtsleeves and follow government guidelines that were actually distributed to households around Britain in the 1970s. They paint their windows white, build a fortress of doors and pillows, take the washing in and put away two packets of ginger nuts, one tin of pineapple chunks and a good supply of tea.

This cautionary tale is both humorous and macabre in its consideration of one of the most horrific possibilities of modern life. When the Wind Blows is a story about love, tenderness, humanity and hope. Adapted by Raymond Briggs (The Snowman) from his best-selling book, When the Wind Blows features an original soundtrack by Roger Waters, and title song by David Bowie.
