The Greatest Escape Of All Time Makes Its Long-Awaited

Blu-ray Debut On May 24 from Warner Home Video

PAPILLON
Including a 32-Page Collectible Blu-ray Book

Burbank, Calif. January 24, 2011 – It's the greatest escape! Golden Globe-nominee Steve McQueen (Papillon, 1974) and Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man, 1988; Kramer vs. Kramer, 1979) team for the spectacular true-life adventure of the man who defied “inescapable” Devil's Island. Presented by Warner Home Video, Papillon (1973) arrives on Blu-ray Disc for the very first time with a collectible 32-page Blu-ray Book featuring fascinating film information, archival photos, and an examination of the controversy surrounding the film. Orders are due April 19 (SRP $34.99).

Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner (Patton, Planet of the Apes), and based on a bestselling book, Papillon is a true story about French ex-convict Henri Charriére – a petty criminal who is unjustly convicted of murder, and his constant struggle to escape to freedom from the brutal French penal system in Guiana's infamous Devil's Island. The film is considered to be one Steve McQueen’s more compelling performances, a nuanced portrayal of a tortured and tormented soul, representing a departure from his usual “cool guy” roles. Papillon is a thrilling film that also gives combined hope and courage, making for very compelling entertainment.

ABOUT THE FILM
“One of the greatest behind-bars movies ever.”
- Clark Collis, Empire Magazine

They called him “Papillon,” meaning butterfly. If only he had wings to go with the name. Unable to fly, Henri Charriére virtually willed himself free. He persisted until he did the impossible: escape Devil’s Island. Shot in Spain and Jamaica, Schaffner’s film version of Papillon united two stars at key career junctures. After a decade of fine work in The Great Escape, The Sand Pebbles and Bullitt, Steve McQueen found in Charriére another ideal tough-guy role. Coming off The Graduate, Midnight Cowboyand Little Big Man, Dustin Hoffman again distinguished himself as Dega, Charriére’s scruffy friend.

Conclusion de la reseña BR.com

Papillon is a slow, relentless trek with two extremely odd characters, and that may be off putting for some viewers. Filled with a number of disturbing elements, this is a film not for the faint of heart and/or stomach. And while McQueen and Hoffman are decidedly different types of actors, they actually meld surprisingly well together here. Schaffner keeps things well under control, if deliberately slow-paced, and the film is a viscerally frightening look at the horrors of the French Guiana penal colony, as well as the indomitable human desire to be free. Highly recommended.
