Christ In Concrete (Black & White) (Region 1) - Dmytryk, EdwardReleasedatum: 17 juni 2003
Based on Pietro Di Donato's incendiary novel, Edward Dmytryk's Christs In Concrete blends film noir, neo-realism, and hard-hitting social criticism. Awarded top prizes at film fests across Europe, Dmytryk's Christ In Concrete in a film of extraordinary power and poignancy. Due to the Hollywood Blacklist, this film was almost totally suppressed. It has scarcely been shown at all, and never shown on TV, never released on vide. Christ In Concrete was truly a lost film. Until now.
