Arrow Video, with
domestic sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group,
will be serving up a new 2K restoration of famed Italian filmmaker Federico
Fellini’s final film, The Voice of the Moon, as a
Blu-ray/DVD combo pack on Oct. 17.
The film was the last
from Italian auteur master filmmaker Federico
Fellini. It opened at the Cannes Film
Festival in 1990 out of competition … he won the Palme d'Or in 1960 for La
Dolce Vita and was nominated 12 times for Oscars for either Best
Director (Fellini – Satyricon, Amarcord, 8½, La Dolce Vita) or Best
Writing, but he couldn’t even muster a domestic distributor for the film.
8½, Amarcord and La Strada all won Best Foreign
Language Oscars, but it was his producers who collected the gold, not him. All of this added up to a slap in the face.
It falls to Arrow Video
to bring Fellini’s final film work, starring future Oscar-winner Roberto
Benigni, to the domestic marketplace on Oct. 17. Film collectors, film buffs and fans of the
master will certainly be celebrating its arrival.
Included with the film is
documentary filmmaker Eugenio Cappuccio’s 2006 film titled Towards the Moon with Fellini.
