{"product_id":"814456029429","title":"Touch Limited Edition Mediabook Slipcase* (Blu-ray)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis special limited edition J-card MediaBook slipcase (designed by Haunt Love) is limited to 5,000 units and is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.\n\u003cbr\u003eTaking its name from the Lumière Brothers invention of the same name, Cinématographe is a new sub-label from Vinegar Syndrome that seeks to fill gaps in the canon of American cinema. Offering a mix of auteur driven studio films produced during the New Hollywood era of the late 1960s and 70s all the way through the indie boom of the 1980s and 90s, Cinématographe will explore the wide breadth of American moviemaking, spanning numerous genres and scales of production. Curated and produced by Vinegar Syndrome's Justin LaLiberty, each limited edition release will be housed in a specially designed, cloth-bound, media book with embossed foil titles and custom molded disc trays accompanied by a slipcase featuring newly commissioned art and an individually numbered J-card.\n\u003cbr\u003eFormer evangelist Bill Hill (Christopher Walken, King of New York), discovers Juvenal (Skeet Ulrich, Scream), a purported miracle worker who can heal people simply by touching them and bears the marks of stigmata on his body. Hill, no stranger to exploiting others, sees a potential fortune in Juvenal and primes him for show business but Hill’s plans go awry when the woman he entrusts to seduce Juvenal (Bridget Fonda, Jackie Brown) falls for him and a fundamentalist reverend (Tom Arnold, True Lies) threatens to put a stop to the whole enterprise.\n\u003cbr\u003eBased on a novel by noted crime author Elmore Leonard (Get Shorty, Jackie Brown) andadapted for the screen and directed by Paul Schrader (Hardcore, Affliction), TOUCH is a burst of post-Tarantino dark comedy, matching Leonard’s offbeat characters with Schrader’s unwavering examination of theology in America. Featuring an ensemble cast that also includes the likes of Gina Gershon (Bound), Lolita Davidovich (Raising Cain), Paul Mazursky (director of An Unmarried Woman), Janeane Garofalo (Reality Bites) and LL Cool J as himself, TOUCH is quintessential Paul Schrader and ripe for rediscovery. Cinématographe is proud to present this often overlooked entry in the career of one of America’s most prized filmmakers in its first ever release, sourced from a new 2K scan of its original camera negative.\n\u003cbr\u003edirected by: Paul Schrader\n\u003cbr\u003estarring: Bridget Fonda, Christopher Walken, Skeet Ulrich, Gina Gershon, Tom Arnold, Paul Mazursky, LL Cool J, Lolita Davidovich\n\u003cbr\u003e1997 \/ 96 min \/ 1.85:1 \/ English DTS-HD MA 5.1\n\u003cbr\u003eAdditional info:\n\u003cbr\u003eRegion A\n\u003cbr\u003eNew 2K restoration from the 35mm Interpositive with original 5.1 theatrical soundtrack\n\u003cbr\u003eNew video interview with writer\/director Paul Schrader\n\u003cbr\u003eNew audio commentary with film historians Howard S.
