Fahrenheit 451 Julie Christie Buy Dvd (This Site) (Shipped from UK) Single Disc [2003] Actors: Oskar Werner, Julie Christie, Cyril Cusack, Anton Diffring, Jeremy Spenser Director: François Truffaut Format: PAL Language: English Region: Region 2 (UK & Europe) Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1 Number of discs: 1 Classification: PG Studio: Universal Pictures UK DVD Release Date: 10 Nov 2003 Run Time: 109 minutes DVD Features: Main Language: English This adaptation of Ray Bradbury's deeply troubling novel has to go down as one of François Truffaut's lesser efforts. The only film Truffaut directed in English, it promises much but is sadly flawed. Syd Cain's futuristic sets cleverly convey the menace and desperation of a society in which books are banned and burned, Cyril Cusack's fire chief is hugely resistible as he unquestioningly performs his duty and Julie Christie superbly judges the contrasts in her dual role. But Oskar Werner - who starred in Truffaut's Jules et Jim - seems to have lost the plot, and, as he's its driving force, this is a major stumbling block. It's worth watching, but not the masterpiece it should have been. - Source: Radio Times Price: £12.99 (UK Sterling) / $26.99 (US Dollars) (Shipped from UK) (Price includes worldwide postage & packaging) Payment can also be made to Lenin Imports in UK sterling/US dollars by cheque/check, po, money order, international money order, cash by registered mail.
