New Rose Hotel 02/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* In the near future, Fox (Christopher Walken, King of New York) and X (Willem Dafoe, Light Sleeper) are industrial spies who are hired by corporations to bring sought after employees to the highest bidder, leaving their current employers in the dust. When they are hired to help move Hiroshi (played by anime artist Yoshitaka Amano), a brilliant scientist, from a German company back to Japan, they enlist the help of a call girl named Sandii (Asia Argento, Boarding Gate) to seduce him. The actions of Fox, X and Sandii result in a play of power, sex and violence that takes them around the globe, not knowing who either can trust. Based on William Gibson’s short story of the same name and adapted for the screen by noted iconoclast Abel Ferrara (Bad Lieutenant, Dangerous Game), who co-wrote the script with regular collaborator Christ Zois, New Rose Hotel is an understated foray into cyberpunk aesthetics at the turn of the millennium that signals a turning point in the career of Ferrara. Cinématographe is proud to present Abel Ferrara’s often overlooked sci-fi thriller in a new 2K restoration from the best surviving film elements. Bonus Features: 1. Region A Blu-ray 2.
