Review “I could go on all day about the backhanded virtues of this pastel turkey, but it’s really something you should see for yourself—and there is no better way to see it (well, unless you’re in Israel, really no other way to see it at all) than with this super-loaded Blu-ray from Grindhouse Releasing.” – DVD Verdict “Grindhouse Releasing go a long way towards making up for lost time with their inaugural Blu-ray offering, An American Hippie In Israel. The movie is a genuine cult oddity, a film that languished in obscurity for decades but which nevertheless stands as not only an entertaining low budget B-picture but also a unique foreign time capsule of sorts…On top of that, the disc is stacked with far more extra features relating to the film than should have been humanly possible and the film is offered up in solid shape. A very nice return to form for the label.” – Rock! Shock! Pop! “No matter how you slice it, there’s really nothing else quite like AN AMERICAN HIPPIE IN ISRAEL…Fans of the film who have long fantasized of a Criterion Collection style release need salivate no more – for this, too, is the genuine article. This release is positively stacked with bonus materials…a very in-depth package.” – AV Maniacs
