The Agitator: Three Films by Jean-Pierre Mocky Blu-ray
'The Agitator: Three Provocations from the Wild World of Jean-Pierre Mocky' (1982 + 1984 + 1987) Radiance Limited Edition Blu-ray box set | 4K restorations | French w/ English subtitles
Three of Jean-Pierre Mocky's wild cinematic adventures from the 1980s are collected in this new boxset. Cult horror sensation Litan, hooligan horror Kill the Referee and Hitchcockian mystery Agent Trouble are presented from new 4K restorations on Blu-ray for the first time outside of France.
Litan (1982):
A classic cult Euro-horror and a Kafkaesque fever dream of surrealist imagery, arrestingly shot by Edmond Richard (The Trial, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie).
Kill the Referee (1984):
An unrelenting one-night narrative recalling After Hours and Green Room, Kill the Referee mixes black humour with horror as its escalating sense of dread builds toward a shattering climax.
Agent Trouble (1987):
A conspiracy thriller reminiscent of Hitchcock, Jean-Pierre Mocky’s wonderfully eccentric mystery has a light comic touch that carefully balances its grotesque flourishes.
