What an amazing film , the use of the cinematography and the landscapes, the acting and a commendable plot make this a must see .
I also admired the way the director used animal hunter and prey film alongside what is happening to the protagonist of the piece.
Oddest thing is that my mum remembered the 'baking' scene and it has stayed with her all this time she saw it on British T.V 38 years ago !! I too thought this to be quite grueling for the films vintage and the fact it was released from one of the major mainstream distributors makes it surprising too.
The new DVD release has done this complete justice but would one expect anything less from the 'Rolls Royce' of DVD distributors. I read on here a comment about the exorbitant price tag but would comment that it deserves it.
So much care has been taken using the best print and the most complete version possible. There is also a fascinating commentary to listen too if you have the time and other worthwhile extras.
This I feel has 'forgotten classic' invisibly etched on every frame.
A must see and must have.
