Region 1 DVD + book
The Anchor Bay region 1 DVD of this film is superb. The print used is flawless and there is a good commentary by Robert Fuest and Jenny Runacre. It has been widely documented that author Michael Moorecock hated the film and having read the book I can understand his frustration. Having said that though I love the film and think it is a brilliant example of 70's British cinema, made in a period of great cinema. Jon Finch as Jerry Cornelius is excellent as is Jenny Runacre and they are supported by a superb who's who's of British character actors. The film is a visual feast and it is a travesty that Norman Warwick' stunning cinematography didn't win an oscar. The music score is also excellent.
The book is well worth tracking down and having a read of. Given a decent budget and a talented director and writer the book would transfer well to the screen. There are some great sequences which were either leftout or toned down for Fuest's film. Johnny Depp would make a great Jerry Cornelius.
