The 1994 erotic film is headed for high-definition in September.
In an early announcement to retailers, Cult Epics will be releasing 'The Voyeur' on Blu-ray on September 8.
'The Voyeur' -- based on the famous erotic novel Luomo che Guarda by Alberto Moravia, tells the story of Eduardo Dodo, who in public is a professor of French literature but in private a desperately lovesick cuckold, married to the ever-more-elusive Sylvia. His life is shattered when he becomes an onlooker rather than a participant in life. Those around him, though, seem to be living life to the fullest. His bedridden father has a scantily clad nurse, his students have unending sexual fun, sometimes in his presence, and even the public beach has become and orgy ground. Through a series of small revelations, Dodo slowly comes to realize who his rival is, the discovery, rather than destroying his marriage, strengthens and renews it.
Erotic filmmaker Tinto Brass is here at the height of his powers, crafting an unforgettable fable of sexual desire. The music by Riz Ortolani is seductive, the set designs are sumptuous, and the photography is as stunning as Hitchcock's, and the lead performers, Franceso Casale and Katarina Vasillissa (a Polish photomodel), are eye-catching.
Specs have yet to be finalized, but supplements will include: Interview with the Director (2007), Photo Video Gallery, and HD Trailers.
