Content:
"Discover a lost masterpiece from acclaimed director Michael Powell with this stunning adaptation of Béla Bartók's expressionist opera. Starring Norman Foster as the murderous Bluebeard and Ana Raquel Satre as his doomed wife Judith, this boldly original production was made for West German television in 1963. It combines outstanding performances with spectacular production designs as Powell concocts a daring and inventive interpretation of a haunting work, equal to the creative innovation of his iconic The Tales of Hoffmann. Unavailable for many years, Bluebeard's Castle (Herzog Blaubarts Burg) has been painstakingly restored by the BFI National Archive and The Film Foundation, and is presented here - on its 60th anniversary - in both its original broadcast format and its revised 1978 edition, featuring selected English subtitles added by Powell."
