Lyricism, violence and the uncanny collide to produce an extraordinary film of great power and potency.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePerhaps better known for work as the editor of Lindsay Anderson's If.... and O Lucky Man!, David Gladwell directs this visionary folk offering with an artist's eye. Exquisite slow-motion, no-holds-barred brutality, and weird alchemy are enriched by the astounding score from acclaimed composer David Fanshawe. Making its US Blu-ray debut, Requiem for a Village arrives complete with all-new director commentaries and a collection of Gladwell's short films which foreshadow many of the themes and techniques of his remarkable debut.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh Definition remaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginal mono audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAudio commentary with writer-director David Gladwell and film historian Sam Dunn, focusing on Requiem for a Village (2022)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAudio commentary with writer-director David Gladwell and film historian Sam Dunn, focusing on Gladwell's life and career (2022)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Summer Discord (1955): short, silent amateur film by Gladwell which pays homage to Jean Vigo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMiss Thompson Goes Shopping(1958): short, lyrical film by Gladwell based on a poem by Martin Armstrong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn Untitled Film (1964): experimental short film by Gladwell with electronic score by composer and choreographer Ernest Berk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Great Steam Fair (1964): documentary short, co-directed by Gladwell and Derrick Knight, focusing on the steam engines and traditional fairground rides at an event in Berkshire, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e28b Camden Street (1965): documentary short by Gladwell about a community of artists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew Ways at Northgate(1969): Gladwell's ground-breaking documentary, exploring the 're-humanising' of disabled people\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCan Horses Sing?
