Description

This sweeping, delirious romance begins in the Polish countryside, where Wiktor (Tomasz Kot), a musician on a state-sponsored mission to collect folk songs, discovers a captivating young singer named Zula (Joanna Kulig, in a performance for the ages). Over the next fifteen years, their turbulent relationship will play out in stolen moments between two worlds: the jazz clubs of decadent bohemian Paris, to which he defects, and the corrupt, repressive Communist Bloc, where she remains—universes bridged by their passion for music and for each other. Photographed in luscious monochrome and suffused with the melancholy of the simple folk song that provides a motif for the couple’s fateful affair, Paweł Pawlikowski’s timeless story—inspired by that of his own parents—is a heart-stoppingly grand vision of star-crossed love caught up in the tide of history. DIRECTOR-APPROVED DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New 4K digital master, supervised and approved by director Paweł Pawlikowski and director of photography Łukasz Żal • New conversation between Pawlikowski and filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñàrritu • Press conference featuring Pawlikowski and Żal; actors Joanna Kulig, Tomasz Kot, and Borys Szyc; and producer Ewa Puszczynska • Documentaries from 2018 on the making of the film • Trailer • New English subtitle translation • PLUS: An essay by film critic Stephanie Zacharek

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s. The year is 1991. Max and Albert are two pioneers about to embark on the scientific experiment of a lifetime, volunteering to be the first ever cryogenically frozen humans. If all goes well they'll wake up in 3 years to fame and fortune. Luckily for Max and Albert the experiment is a success...until they find out that the year is now 2044, a global war has taken place, the M-Bomb has wiped out all male species on Earth and reproduction is handled via test tubes in a lab. The Congress of the World Women's League is in complete control and they're the only two men alive! What seems like a dream scenario soon turns into a nightmare when they realize males have been demonized and 'The League' may be keeping a sinister secret. They'll have to convince The League that they're ready to serve in the old ways of reproduction or lose their manhood in the process of 'Naturalization'! SEXMISSION is a side-splitting satire from Polish director Juliusz Machulski that straddles the genre lines of sci-fi and sex-romp in equal measure! Critical and skewering of both chauvinist fears about the extremes of feminism and the Polish government's fallible attempt to pull the wool over its citizen's eyes, it features a cast of Polish all-stars from Jerzy Stuhr (Dekalog) and Olgierd Łukaszewicz (Interrogation) to Boguslawa Pawelec (Blind Chance) and Dorota Stalinska (Ga-ga: Glory to the Heroes).
