THE MASTERPIECE OF SCIENCE-FICTION BASED ON THE CLASSIC BY KURT VONNEGUT JR
FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY
"A MASTERPIECE THAT ATTACKS US, CRISES US, CAPTIVES US." OBS
Billy Pilgrim's conduct increasingly worries those close to him. This World War II veteran claims to have the ability to travel through time and space. He revisits the different periods of his past and future life: his captivity in Germany and the terrible bombing of Dresden which he witnessed, his orderly family life in the United States, until his own death and his stay on a planet extraterrestrial…
Jury Prize at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival, Abattoir 5 is the brilliant transposition to cinema of a modern science fiction classic written by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Praised by the author himself for his faithfulness to his novel, Abattoir 5 boasts a memorable score by acclaimed pianist Glenn Gould and crisp production by George Roy Hill ( Butch Cassidy and the Kid ) that borrows from a multitude of genres (war movie, comedy, science fiction) to deliver a moving reflection on the meaning of existence. To be discovered for the first time on Blu-ray™ in France in its sumptuous 4K restoration!
