Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureSwiss director Jean-Louis Roy's long-lost mid-1960s Cold War super-spy thriller is a marvelous and surreal hall of mirrors, part-DR. STRANGELOVE, part-ALPHAVILLE, with sly nods to British TV shows like THE AVENGERS and DOCTOR WHO. The film stars a Who's Who of great Sixties character actors starting with the unforgettable Daniel Emilfork (THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, THE DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE) as crazed scientist Herbert Von Krantz, who's invented a device to sterilize all nuclear weapons. A mad herd of rival spies are desperate to get their hands on the device, including legendary French singer Serge Gainsbourg as the leader of a sect of bald, turtleneck-wearing assassins, and Jess Franco vet Howard Vernon (THE AWFUL DR. ORLOF). Gainsbourg's deranged jazz-lounge song, Bye Bye Mr. Spy – performed by him on a funeral parlor organ, no less – is arguably the film's high point. An accomplished spy is at the same time psychologist, artist, funambulist, conjurer, to quote one of the characters – and the same could be said of Roy's exotic camera obscura of B&W Cold War paranoia. With Marie-France Boyer (Agnes Varda's LE BONHEUR).Special FeaturesEXCLUSIVE NEW 4K RESTORATION from the original 35mm picture and sound elements by Cinémathèque suisse with additional digital restoration by Craig Rogers of Deaf CrocodileNew Commentary by film journalist Samm Deighan (Diabolique magazine, Daughters of Darkness podcast)New Booklet essay by filmmaker, punk musician and poet, and genre expert Chris D.
