SUMMARY

This special limited edition J-card MediaBook slipcase (designed by Adam Maida) is limited to 3,000 units and is only available on the Vinegar Syndrome website and at select indie retailers, like The Movie Room. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.

Taking its name from the Lumière Brothers invention of the same name, Cinématographe is a new sub-label from Vinegar Syndrome that seeks to fill gaps in the canon of American cinema. Offering a mix of auteur driven studio films produced during the New Hollywood era of the late 1960s and 70s all the way through the indie boom of the 1980s and 90s, Cinématographe will explore the wide breadth of American moviemaking, spanning numerous genres and scales of production. Curated and produced by Vinegar Syndrome's Justin LaLiberty, each limited edition release will be housed in a specially designed, cloth-bound, media book with embossed foil titles and custom molded disc trays accompanied by a slipcase featuring newly commissioned art and an individually numbered J-card.

Nick Kaminsky (Kevin Anderson, Sleeping with the Enemy), a young architecture professor, leaves his current home in upstate New York to visit his terminally ill biological mother Lillian (Kim Novak, Vertigo) in small town Illinois. Nick’s college friend Paul (Bill Pullman, Lost Highway) is in the process of preparing to demolish an aging department store building in town that was the site of a violent crime years prior, which Nick intends to study the architecture of before he leaves town. After meeting Paul’s wife Jane (Pamela Gidley, Twin Peaks), who he is immediately attracted to, Nick starts to unravel dark secrets about his past and his family.

A laberinthine, erotically charged neo-noir from Academy Award nominated writer and director Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas), Liebestraum is a long overlooked entry in American crime cinema of the 1990s. Featuring stunning cinematography from Juan Ruiz Anchía (At Close Range), a tension building score from Figgis himself and bold production design from frequent Figgis collaborator Waldemar Kalinowski (Leaving Las Vegas, Internal Affairs). Cinématographe is proud to present Mike Figgis’s early 90s psychological thriller, in its uncensored director’s cut, in a new 2K restoration from its original negatives for its world blu-ray debut.
