This forbidden pursuit has driven Dr. Frances B. Gröss to the brink of madness, but in his obsession, he has amassed a uniquely comprehensive collection of films that depict life in its final, grueling moments. From the savagery of cold-blooded murder to the perverse realities of war, tragic accidents, and the everyday lives of those who collect, dissect, and bury the dead, this descent into morbidity lays bare a truth that all of us will one day face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most banned, censored, controversial, and notorious films ever made, FACES OF DEATH (1979) changed cinema forever. A surprise home video blockbuster that spawned three sequels, the film was immediately met with praise and condemnation, along with legions of fans and hordes of protestors. Skillfully combining grueling imagery depicting the stark reality of mortality, blended with cleverly staged, ultra-gory re-enactments of murders, suicides, executions, and more too horrible to imagine, Vinegar Syndrome Archive is excited to at last bring FACES OF DEATH to 4K UHD newly restored from its long-lost camera original, and fully uncut for the very first time ever on disc; still as shocking now as it was nearly 50 years ago...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003edirected by: Conan Le Cilaire\u003cbr\u003estarring: Michael Carr\u003cbr\u003e1979 \/ 108 min \/ 1.33:1 \/ English Mono\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAdditional info:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e2-disc Set: 4K Ultra HD \/ Region A Blu-ray\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e4K UHD presented in Dolby Vision High-Dynamic-Range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eNewly scanned \u0026amp; restored in 4K from its 35mm and 16mm original camera negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eCommentary with director Conan Le Cilaire, moderated by Michael Felsher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\"Buried Footage\" - newly discovered, never-before-seen outtakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\"Choice Cuts\" - an archival featurette with editor Glenn Turner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\"The Death Makers\" - an archival featurette with effects creators Allan Apone and Douglas White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\"Many Faces of Death\" - scholars and genre experts examine the controversial origins and lasting cultural impact of Faces of Death\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e40 page perfect bound book with essays by Samm Deighan, David Kerekes and Stephen Thrower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eIsolated music track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eArchival outtakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eTrailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eReversible sleeve artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eEnglish SDH subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"aspect-ratio: 16 \/ 9; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TXH7T74xdIQ?si=kTx9LQ5SbOQ6jXPK\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"aspect-ratio: 16 \/ 9; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S5siNQzOsDU?si=g3aZvvZRitMxazo4\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinegar Syndrome Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44202834493482,"sku":"VSA-062","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/3025\/4180\/files\/Faces_Of_Death_LTD_Front_4K_b56_4wqrf.png?v=1774977967","url":"https:\/\/vinegarsyndrome.com\/products\/faces-of-death","provider":"Vinegar Syndrome","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
